There are quite a few boys who leave our class this year to join the Armed Forces of this country.

Our football coach, Max Smith, leaves us to take a position at Bosse, and his duties are taken over by Mr. Earl Downey. Soon after the successful opening of the basketball season, Mr. Downey is called into the United States Army. Harold God- win then becomes our basketball coach. Miss Janet Morris, who has been a mem- ber of the faculty since 1941, decides to leave her Social Studies classes to enter the VVAVES. Russell Smith, a popular member of our class, dies after several months, illness. Our sympathy is extended to his bereaved parents. Joe Hall is elected president of our class, Lucille Hollen, vice-president, Bet- tye Brines, secretary, and Oral Morton, treasurer.

Seniors on the baseball team are Oral Morton and Jim Cox. As our annual goes to press on April 12, we are looking forward to the Junior- Senior Prom to be held on May 19 in the gymnasium. Yve hope to enjoy it very much since its preparation will not be our responsibility this year. Then there will be the Senior Dinner, which will be held on May 23, at the Country Club. The present war situation will be a great hindrance in preparing for the affair, but we can depend on Miss Taylor, Mr. Pittman, and the industrious members of our class to make the dinner a great success. Baccalaureate services will be held Sun- day, May 21. At the Commencement exercises to be held on May 24, we, the seniors of Prince- ton High School will receive our diplomas. May we, the Class of 1944, as we look back over our high-school careers and remember the kindness and guidance that our teachers have given us, express to them our gratitude and appreciation with the utmost sincerity. AN ACKNOWLEDGMENT The division pages in this 6'Retrospect,' are those that were used in the 194-0 edition. James Watkins, a member of that class who designed them, is now a Prisoner of War in Germany. The Class of 1944 wishes him a safe return.
