With that reception the class of '43 immediately fell in step with the upper classmen, marching onward to an educational accomplishment through their freshman year. The class officers of that first year were: President, Gene Curtisg Vice-President, Alvin Thortong Secretary, Marion Grabenstein, Trea- surer, Phyllis Hull. Mr. Quall, one of the class's advisors, was lost to us at the end of the freshman year when he moved to Iowa. As Sophomores the guns were maintained by President Gordon Dale, Vice-President Iohn Sperline, Secretary Marion Grabenstein, and Treasurer Elvin Bjork. The class had a Hard-times party and a picnic. David Swanson presided over the group the following year-the Iunior year of the class of '43. Marilouise Dowdy acted as Vice-President, Frances Stephens took the minutes, and lean Driscoll Wrote checks. Skidding , featuring Selah I-ligh's version of Andy CBob Coxl Hardy, was a credit to this excellenet class. More than ever their extraordinary dramatic talent was displayed. Margaret Barrett, while only a freshman, had played an important part in the operetta, Purple Towers . The banquet with the setting of Indian country was a colossal success. A real Water fall Was trans- ferred from the woods to the gym, losing none of its natural beauty. The Senior Class officers included President, Claudia Deang Vice-Presi- dent, Dave Middleton, Secretary, Bill Wilcox, Treasurer, Alvin Thorton. In spite of war and talk of not doing this or that for the duration, the Seniors planned a successful sneak. Under the direction of Mr. Odman these Seniors gave to the community the most outstanding dramatic production that had ever been presented in Selah High. It was in the form of a play, Lease on Liberty , which was a remarkable feat for high school students. Mr. Shearing and Miss Donnellan did their daily deeds for four years in guiding 64 students to the final date of graduation with two outstanding members, Elvin Bjork and lean Driscoll, as their honor students.

BUYS' Cl.lJl3 In this active organization all the boys ot Selah high school take part. john Kuzmak served as President during the year. Assisting him Was john Sperline, Vice-president. Clyde Dean took care ot the monoy, while Ralph Sherwood took the notes. Mr. Shearing was advisor. The Boys' Club this year has been quite active. During the noon hours, beginning in December and continuing until March, they held movies in the auditorium. Students paid a nickel to see these shows, many oi which were excellent motion pictures, as Well as being entertaining. This activity pro- vided the club With money for their other projects. On December 15 they successfully put on a smoker , again taking in a good sum of money. Many boys participated in it and enjoyed preparing tor it. With their earnings from these activities, the boys held their annual F ather-Son banquet on April 9. Despite rations and other problems brought on by the War, this banquet was a great success. The boys also cooperated with the Girls' Club in sponsoring a Service Flag tor the school. GIIQLS' CLUB This year the Girls' Club has not been quite so active as in years gone by. Their main source of money was taken away-the selling ot candy dur- ing noon hours and at basketball games, this limited their funds and activities. Yet the girls were not stopped entirely. With the help ot their advisor, Miss Sparks, they took over the sale ot War bonds and stamps early in the year. They have sold S2500 Worth of stamps and bonds. During the months of February and March ninety per cent ot the students of the junior and Senior High Schools bought defense stamps. With the cooperation of the Boys' Club, the girls also purchased a Service Flag, which is to represent all the boys gone from Selah to various branches ot the service. One party Was held during the year-their annual mixer , early in Sep- tember-and was enjoyed by all. The Mother-Daughter tea Was on their pro- gram as usual, May 6. Because of the war no special theme was carried out in decorations, and bouquets ot tulips were presented to the mothers instead of the corsages given in past years. This annual tea is held to acquaint the mothers with each other and With the activities of the Girls' Club. As President this year the Girls' Club had Rosella Conkey. Susan Hors- ley served as Vice-president, Ruth Rodman as Secretary, and Virginia Mc- Laughlin as Treasurer. Marion Oder has done a good job as social chair- man, as has lean Driscoll as vocational chairman. Evelyn I-lauit had charge of the entertainment, Marilyn Drake Was confectionery chairman, and Frances Stephens was advertising chairman.
