CLASS HISTORY The kickoff of the football game in which the class of '40 started as under- dogs took place promptly at 9 a. m. We started by registering a team which consisted of Marjorie Fuller, captain: Lenna Phegley, co-captain: Sarah Mae Clifford, manager: Spencer Hoopes, representative: and for our coach, Mr. Motes. The first play of the big game was the tug-of-war with which the other side set us back a few yards, but we didn't let this discourage us. We took time out for Christmas and coming out of the huddle we tri-ed all the traditional plays. We ended the first quarter feeling proud of ourselves. We began the second quarter by changing the team's officers to Lenna Phegley, captain: Lavon Blake, co-captain: Sarah Mae Clifford, manager: Mar- jorie Fuller, representative: we chose Mr. Gieszl for our coach. Now we felt confident that we could hold our own against the opposing side. Numerous plays were used during this quarter. The initiation play, used by the other side in the first quarter, was now our big ground gainer. We also gained a lot of ground with the tug-of-war. We were just getting started now, and the best plays were to come in the last two quarters of the game. The first quarter in the last half was ready to start, and we felt it was to be the biggest and most exciting quarter. We began it by changing oflicers again. Chosen were Marjorie Fuller, captain: Norman Bingham, co-captain: Sarah Mae Clifford, manager: Spencer Morris, representative: and for our coach we chose Mr. Furr. We took time out to have a class dance which was held in the Auditorium, and came back ready to settle down and really work. Immediately after Christmas plans for the Junior Prom were started. Under the coaching of Mr. Furr and Graham French, and with the assistance of a large number of Junior players, the hall was beautifully decorated with the theme Rhythm of the Snowflakes. Taking the ball on May 6, we scored again with the Junior-Senior Ban- quet. The Western motif was cleverly carried out, and the food was dee-lish. Page ni fren-4The Ocotilln
