cBr e Record of dour f fears at S. ffC. S. Determined to make our first year a success, our class numbering forty, assembled in room 26, or Mr. Haynes' room, September, 1940. Early in the fall we established a place for ourselves when we were the first class to pay promptly our school dues. In athletics, as well as in musical activities, both the boys and the girls were well represented. Then there was the best attendance contest. What hosts the boys were to the girls at the party in the Home Economics room! Jim Hoover was our president; Lorena Forrest, vice- president; and Jacky Miller, secretary-treasurer. Mar- garet Thomas represented us on the High News. At graduation, Albert Kline received the vocational medal; Jim Hoover, the Math. In the fall of '41, as Sophomores we had set our goals much higher. Then, too, we were examples for the Freshmen. With Miss Shockey as our guidance teacher, Francis Rouse, class leader and his assistants, Bill Smith and Etta Shockey, we swung into all school activities. Our main achievement was the pur- chasing of $100 worth of books for the library through the sale of paper collected. On the staff of the school paper were Agnes Funk, Jim Hoover, and Lorena Forrest. That year the vocational medal was given to Charles Maclay the home ec. medal. Pearl Stottlemyer history medal, Agnes Funk. In the third year of our school career, with Mr. Rohrbaugh as advisor, we went full force into all school activities. As in other years we were much in- terested in athletics. The Junior boys were champions in track, basketball, and softball. The boys worked very hard in the scrap drives. In the On To Victory musical, leading roles were given to Bill Smith, Jacky Miller, Etta Shockey, Gwen Hays, and Billie Winders. More literary-minded ones of the class gained places on the High News staff. Among them were Lorena Forrest, Jim Hoover, Margaret Thomas, Preston Flohr, Gwen Hays, Charles Maclay, Agnes Freshman Class—Opposite Page Front Row (left to right): George Bushey, Betty Bachtell (home- room representative), Joyce Smith (vice president), Robert Leiter (president), Mourita Palmer (secretary-treasurer), Robert Smith.

The State Degree was conferred on Frank Newcomer for his ex- cellent work with the F. F. A. This year we were the guests of the Juniors, May 12, at a delightful prom. Five members of the class—Donald Fleagle, Fran- cis Rouse, John Kelbaugh, Frank Newcomer, and Junior Smith completed their high school work, February 1, and were immediately called into the armed forces.
