CLASS HISTORY Memories-yes, the class of '43 has many things to remember. Our years in high school have been well spent and have yielded to us much happiness, al- though at times we forget to appreciate that which has been given to us. So let us pause for a moment and remember the things which we will never forget. In our sophomore year we started out with the usual greenness to be ex- pected. We kept our chins up and weathered the horrible experience of initiation which really turned out to be fun. Then we buckled down with full realization of what the seniors had done for us. We chose our class officers wisely and they brought us through the first year reaping the full benefits of that which was ours to enjoy. The topping event was the Sophomore Prom which we gave to show our appreciation to the seniors. It was great to be juniors and out of the baby class forever. Our work became more difficult and December 7th made things a little harder for all of us but, nevertheless, we drove on, with greater determination than ever, to please our faculty and families. It was during this year that we proudly became owners of our class rings and sadly but festively we bade the seniors farewell with the Junior Prom. In 1942 we took up our duties as seniors. We all admitted that it was an honor and we tried to set a good example for our under-classmen. We worked hard in October selling magazine subscriptions. Because of full cooperation and an un- usual amount of ability, we topped all previous records. We sponsored dances throughout the year, most of them being real jive sessions. In December, we suc- cessfully produced June Mad . The sophomores honored us with the Sophomore Hop and the juniors made us welcome at the junior Prom. Then came the thrill of graduation with laughter and a few tears, but we had done our job and were proud of it. In closing this history let us remember that as freshmen we chose the motto We can because we think we can , so that as we go along we can help make this world into the right and beautiful thing that it is meant to be. twenty-nine
