CLASS HISTORY by Carol Uphaus and Melvin Schaefer Way, way back in the year 1929, 13 students of the class of '41 gaily troop- ed to the old Jones building on West McKay street to begin their first grade school days under the supervision of Miss Marjorie MacQueen. The five succeed- ing years passed swiftly, and our teachers were: Mrs. Ambrose Ernst, Mrs. Arthur Lutz, Miss Mary Morden Miss Esther Bowen, and Mrs. Leonard Hutzel. In 1935, we timidly trooped upstairs to enter Junior High for our seventh and eighth grades. We were proud and happy to become members of the high school, although our position was merely that of freshmen. The Class of '38 had the privilege of initiating the largest freshman class ever in this school, the number at that time was 63. Our Sophomore year was rather uneventful, but Maurine Harwood brought honor to the class by winning the declamation contest, she also won the Junior and senior oration contests. Mr. Hazen Jewell was our class sponsor. We finally 'struck our stride' in our Junior year with two different sorts of entertainment. First, the Junior play, entitled nCrazy House' was presented. Members of the cast worked very hard to make the play a success. The second event, was the J-Hop. Mrs. Washburn, Mr. O'Bradovich and Mr. Harms cooperated with the Ju ior class in making the event a great success. The auditorium was decorated to represent Tara, the home of Scarlett O'Hara, from the movie nGone with the Wind'. Warren Rentschler was the president of this class. During this year B. Bamer and V. Jacobs of the class participated with one senior and one sophomore as a unit mile relay team which won the Class C trophy at Mt. Pleasant. This was the first trophy that the school had won in any sport. More boys from the Junior class participated in sports that year than from any other class and helped immensely in the winning of the Huron League All-Sports Trophy. We also won the intermural activities trophy which was presented to the school by Mrs. Unterkircher in memory of her late husband Doctor Unterkircher. we approached the climax of our school days when we entered the Senior class. The class officers for this year were: President, Maurine Harwood- Vice President, Ormond Jedeleg Secretary, Eileen Moehng and, Treasurer, George Clo- wacke. Mr. Hazen Jewell and Mr. Bearss were our class sponsors. Early in the year we decided to take a trip to Washington, D.C. and set our goal at S1000 to finance this trip. Our dreams will come true next week when we depart from Sa- line for Toledo from where we will take a train for the nation's capital. The chaperons accompanying us on this trip will be Mr. Hazen Jewell and Mrs. Wash- burn. To earn money for the trip we put on two senior plays, after game dances, numerous banquets, bake sales, collected paper, shined shoes, sponsored a movie at the local theater, sold magazine subscriptions, stationery, and Christmas cards and sponsored a Senior Prom. We wish to express our deeply felt appreciation to the Juniors for the splen did J-Hop put on in our behalf. Now our twelve years of study and preparation is resulting in graduation. We feel that we have earned permanent recognition by our leadership and coopera- tion with other groups. We are proud of our stick-to-it-tive-ness which is shown by the fact that 58 of the 63 have finished the task that they had begun.
