As we, The Class oT I944, say Tarewell To Selma l-Tigh, To our memories come ThoughTs oT our high school days. ln SepTember oT l94O, we enTered The doors oT This insTiTuTion as green Freshmen. The Then high and mighTy Seniors greeTed us eTTusively aT Their iniTiaTion, aTTer which we became Tull-Tledged members oT The Orange and Black. WiTh a lively Freshman parTy, we began our social liTe and became Tamiliar wiTh The ideals and sTandards oT our Alma MaTer. As Sophomores we TelT superior To The incoming Freshmen oT I94I and became permanenT Tigures Tor The ensuing Three years in classes and acTiviTies oT Selma l-ligh. This year, however, The aTTaclc on Pearl Harbor overshadowed our lives and made a deTiniTe change in our aTTiTude and world. i During our Junior year several oT our members heard our CounTry's call and enTered The Service. NeverTheless, wiTh The changes necessiTaTed by a world oT warflilce conTlicT, we carried on our regular acTiviTies. On December I7, l942, we produced our Junior play, iiDon'T Talce My Penny. As Mr. OTTO, our direcTor, enTered The Navy, Miss Cooper graciously Toolc over his duTies. We enjoyed several parTies, among which was a hay ride. The greaT evenT oT The Junior year is always The Junior-Senior BangueT, which we gave May I5, I9-43. Barbara SchloenvogT as general chairman, assisTed by her several capable commiTTees, enTerTained The Seniors royally wiTh a splendid BangueT, having as iTs Theme Wings Tor VicTory and being held in The MeThodisT Church. 'K ln OcTober oT TQ43, as Seniors This Time, we enTered The porTals oT our school To cornpleTe a busy, happy, proTiTable Tinal year. Our February Senior Assembly, depicTing The imaginary school days oT our TaculTy meme bers, was a greaT success. ln April we Thoroughly enioyed a sl4aTing parTy aT a RollaTorium in Fresno. This year we were The guesTs oT The Juniors aT a grand BangueT, May I3, having as iTs Theme The novel one oT VicTory Gardens. Under The direcTion oT Miss l-lorrocks, our Senior play, The Very l.ighT Brigade, was presenTed The evening oT May 27 To an apprecia- Tive audience. Our Tinal dance, a Tormal one, was held in The gymnasium June 3. WiTh baccalaureaTe and graduaTion June I i and June I4, respec- Tively, we said good-bye To Selma Fligh and are now ready To assume our responsibiliTies as young adulTs, graduaTes oT Selma Fligh School. 5 I f' . .
