ir1k'k1l'i k'k'kir'A k'A A k1k' J1mg1a4w,w7 We, the so-called green freshmen, a group of fifty-two, entered the Roodhouse Community High School, September 1, 1943, to get the best education possible. Miss Ainsworth acted as class adviser and gave us the right start. At our class meeting we elected the following officers: Ruth Young, president, Jack Cunningham, vice-presidentg Jack Forrester, sec- retary, and Enid Fitch, treasurer. We had two class parties, both were very successful. Our class started with a large number on the honor roll and continued through the year. Several took part in extra-curricular activities. Three took part in the speech contest at Granite City. In the fall of nineteen hundred forty-four we returned for another suc- cessful year. We were pleased to have Miss Flori for our class adviser. At our first meeting these officers were elected: W. P. Gilmore, president, Bob Dick Spencer, vice-president, Guy Spencer, secretary, and Marietta Reynolds, treasurer. This year we had several boys who received football and basketball letters. Again many took part in Library Club, T Club, Glee Club, and G.A.A.. There were eight on the first semester honor roll. Marilyn Harp sang with the sextet which represented our school at community affairs. Joan Forrester and Shirley Plahn were two of the cheer leaders from our class last year, and Bonnie Andrews, Ruth Young, and Darlene Sitton were the cheerleaders this year. We are looking forward to the day when we will graduate. We expect to graduate with honors and set an example for those who follow. GuySpencer. i'1k'i A k'k'k'ki'i'irir1k'k1k Sixteen
