Fresh and green like a tender sprig of grass, they started their high school career with the sale of Viking deoalocmanias. A class party was held in the gym and shortly before school was out they planned a picnic at Eschbach Park. Preparations were made only to discover that the Sopho ores were going to have a picnic the same day. Unwilling to abandon their plans and determined to came out on top they forged ahead. They left immediately after school with the Sophomores in hot pursuit, but because of the slow cruising speed of their vehicle it was a close race. Again, as al- ways, the Frosh raced in to the finish to win by a lead of six minutes, a great victory for the class of 1944. Thus ended their triumphant first year under the leadership of Ray Swanson and adviser Mr. Odman. A fortunate few passed on into their Sophomore year and elected Virginia McLaughlin as president. A Christmas party was held in the gym, and presents were exchanged. What presents! Spring sprang with a picnic in the usual place. They enjoyed themselves at Eschbach speeding around the pond in the row boats. Then came the end of the year with an assembly, talk about CORN. They chose the color for their class sweaters. Fur flew, but from the fury of the battle those unforgettable Cardinal red and Pearl gray sweaters emerged. Entering their Junior year they realized that war was upon them and that their activities would be restricted and their banquet would take careful planning. Under the leadership of Marion Oder, an elaborate feast was held, with a Dutch garden theme. The Junior play 'Suspensen with director Miss Burt and a c mpetent cast, floated to a huge success, and their treasury soared to new heights. A farewell party was held for Mr- Odman who left for the amned forces, and Mrs. Vann became class adviser. To top the year they had a 'Cam ando Picnic' at Donna's. After leaving the scene of the previous crime they brought destruction to the Yakima roller-rink. As the dawn of the school year of 1943-44 broke it found the depleted remains of the class of '44. Those who had left to the call of the colors were Ralph Sherwood, Armand Gagner, Frank Brown, and Ambert Englund. Of these boys the Senior class is justly proud. They presented nAlmost Eighteen' as their play, starring Mrs. Argyle and company. Their class flower was the red carnation, and their motto, 'We have crossed the bay, but the ocean lies still ahead.' This class has contributed much to Selah High in pep, scholarship and athletics. Ray, Fred, Buzz, and Chuck were on the victorious basketball squad. The whole class was wonderfull May future classes follow in their footsteps! 11
