Senior Class History . . . On September '2, 11)41, a gang of bright-green, bug-eyed, peculiar poking creatures were ushered into the dreamed-of, but-never-vis-ted halls of the I pper Crust. Xow WE were Upper Crust — we bought. But the first year of high school is not the easiest under-jiiking of a lifetime. No one even noticed us, and we were so inportaiit. To prove.it, we threw a fine Freshman Return, honoring .he rest of the high school for tin swell reception they gave us. usty .Ionian, Charmaine Pet rick, Demetrio Martinez, and Francis Michic guided us over the toughest year in school. I All of a sudden we were Sophomores! That was really sonic-lliing. Our only damp cloud was the still hated title “Underclass-hen.” We were too young to do this and too old to do that. It was ough, but we showed the world and put out a grand reception. Not nly that, but we placed second in the Outlaw Day Parade. Our boys iere the he-men type and contributed to football, basketball, and rack. Mickey Frailer, Ted Castor, Charmaine Petrick, and Alget lull led us through this triumphant year. Bill Engstrom Student Body President At last! The dream of a lifetime was achieved. We were UPPER-LASSMEN. Although our class was small, we made up for it in noise and achievements. Ro-md Brown, Pat Kaufman, Bill Engstrom, and Leroy Nirav took us through this year, and we all •itched in ami walked olf with all kinds of acclaim. The first feather in our bonnet was our play, ‘Ever Since Eve.’ 1 his was a great success and was under the direction of Mrs. Hahn. Our luck .as with us all year and we climaxed it with the Junior-Senior Banquet and Prom with “Future Air ° er as our theme. I his was a huge success and Shirley Swanson and Bob Sullins reigned su- ierne over it. Ibis closed another great year and we looked toward our final one with big ideas u mind. Hiese ideas began to form as we took the highest seat in high school and gazed uninterested at ill the “little guys.” After all, we were Seniors! After we got acclimated to our new status in life 'u settled down to the great task of electing and re-electing officers. Everyone seemed to be desert- g us lor either college or the war. George Elipulos was elected Student Body President, but after deciding to attend the University, he turned his power over to Bill Engstrom who was to be class president. A new class president was immediately elected, but Delbert Chin-burg was called to the Navy, and Tommy Devine took liis place. Johnny Lander, vice-president, upon leaving for the Navy, was replaced by Mickey Frailer. Shirley Swanson replaced Richard Miller upon his advent into (you guessed it) the Navy. Douglas Dinsmore left high school for University life and Gloria Lynch took his place as Outlaw Corral editor. Nancy Roraick remained secretary-treasurer all year. After this was all straightened out we settled down to make this a year to last a lifetime. We started off very well with th ‘ Senior Ball, came out on top with the Senior play, “Feathers in a Gale,” under the direction of Mrs. Hahn. We decided to leave something for the rest of the school to remember us by, and “Outie the Outlaw” was immediately invented under the clever pen of Wanda Thompson. The Juniors honored us grandly with the Junior-Senior Pram and Banquet and we left high school behind us with a feeling of a job well done on May 2.‘5, 1945. This was our greatest year, dimmed only by the absence of so many of our boys. Thanks for the memories, fellows 1
