And then came that great social event of our four years the junior Prom The tlctoxatnons designed to portray Spring in all her soft majesty completely converted the gym into a farry ballroom and the soft rhythmic muslc of Jack Heavens added successfully to the transformation The streamers draped artistically caught even the slrghtest movement ln the air and seemed to be talkmg among themselves of the gaiety and beauty beneath them So perfect an evening made many of the for tunate attendants reluctant to end the af fair till mornrn But what a shock when we came to make out a financial statement' We found that we had serrously mrssed connections w1th the result that our finances took a declded drop But agreemg that you cant win all the time we lmmedrately got to work correcting our mistake and justified It as a strategic wrthdrawal Contrary to tradxtlon there was no cam pargnmg for Semor Class officers The electron held rn June exhnbrted the corrupt practice commonly used rn politics f stuffing the ballot boxes After this had been successfully abolished the results of the vote were found to be as follows Harold Wakeley Presldent Barbara Ben nett Vice Presrdent Sophie Stosuy Sec retary and Anme Sabol Treasurer Kenneth Dahn john Elwood and Albert Sponhelmer had entered the armed forces the first three to serve m the Navy and the latter m the Army and before we re turned to school 1n September 1943 to begm our Semor year more of our class- mates had also left for service They were George Gehrmger to the Army james Lyons George Schaefer and Henry Tabaka to the Navy and Arthur Anderson to the Marine Corps. During our final year up to the tlme that REFLECTOR went to press William Wilkinson and Al fonso Amxco had jomed the Army Au' Forces Edward Dornozych had enhsted with the Marltlme Service W1th our return to school ln September came the year we had so long awaited. We were The Semors and were of course advantageously situated for rt was we who had authority over the underclassmen. And what a thrill we experrenced at every assembly when we marched down the aisle between the rows of students stand mg 1n respect and envy' It became our purpose to assume the responsibilities as well as the rxghts whxch were ours as Semors We started that sxgmficant year auspr cxously with the Halloween Dance co- sponsored wlth the jumor Class and held on October 29 This was followed on November 12 by the Harvest Hop whlch the true effect of autumn was achieved by pumpkins van-colored leaves and cornstalks. The mam attractions were cleverly posed scarecrows placed in the center of the floor and adding to the prev alent gaxety and charm of the event muslc for whrch was furnished by Jack Heavens orchestra. Both dances were a credit to a great class and there was a total profit of fifty five dollars One day not long before Christmas an unsuspecting photographer from Borman Studios came to photograph the Semors and was nearly mobbed by enthusxastlc students The following February we re ceived our pictures On january 28 we sponsored a barn dance and since the theme was so orxgmal to the school the successful outcome was mevrtable The profit of fifty nine dollars made ut one of the most successful dances financially ever held rn Seymour High while the two hundred dancers made it a social success On Friday March 24 the Semor play Good Night Ladres was held in the Clark Auditorium The presentation was heralded as superb by the severest crltxcs The play was well attended and such an outstandmg performance Justlfied any hard ship caused by the gasoline and rubber shortage The talent expressed rn the play by our classmates mxght be compared to that of the Barrymores at their best The great success of thls undertaking was also due ln a large degree to the expert direction of Miss Thelma Lounsbury and the untrrlng efforts of the commlttee in charge Later ln the sprmg we held our last dance the great success of which was due to the elegant decorations the rhythmlc music and the determination to make this dance our best We all knew this to be one of our final get togethers and realized that before long we would no longer be a group but mdrvxduals each gomg hrs own way The annual Semor Banquet was held in one of the local church halls just before graduatnon. The event whlch included many speeches by teachers and students will be long remembered It was on the evening of june 15 1944 that two Junior Marshals led the hne of graduates down the alsle to the stage of the Rrdgley Colfax Clark Memorial Auditor rum Pnde and some degree of regret were observed beneath the tasseled caps as lm presslve and highly mterestrng speeches were delivered by Mr Urban Mr Adams and some of our fellow classmates. As we listened attentively to therr words we were sure that the last four years had been extremely worthwhrle and we gamed en couragement for the coming years. Our pleasant memories of our high school days were dlmmed only by the absence of those who had deemed xt necessary to join one of the services in the effort to preserve democracy and by the thought of leaving frrends all too soon. As each name was read and the graduates presented with thexr diplomas the applause of the audlence gave evidence of the apprecratxon and prrde of frrends and relatives After the gradua tron Room Five was crowded to overflowing wnth the graduated Semors and their vxsxtors exchanging greetings and extend mg farewells.
