For four years now, the students who comprise the senior class have worked energetically to follow in the footsteps of their predecessors. To say that they have succeeded nobly is to tell only half the story. They not only had to continue to bend every effort along the line of education, but also to bring forth a reputation that could take its place beside that of former senior classes. They buckled down to aiding the war effort, and really bought War Stamps and Bonds. Many times they led the weelcly sales. More than any other class, they buckled down to building their bodies, so that they would be better prepared to aid Uncle Sam's armed forces. They aided ali the drives, helped broadcast pleas for Red Cross work and lent their services to factories engaged in war worlc. In a few words, they did their part. . . now they are Ready For Action!

CL L! 0 I Q Ll Cl, I By ELMER KAHL The shorter the time to wait, the more difficult the waiting. For many members of the class of ,43, waiting to get into the fight was extremely hard. Probably some felt useless, going complacently about the routine of study and school activity when they knew many of their brothers and friends were out helping to make Hitler just a memory. They seemed restless and eager to get into itf, Perhaps they didn't realize that they, too, were serving. The senior class showed realization of its obliga- tions toward fellow men when it chose for its class banquet the theme, Our Place in Our Time. Service in the entertainment world is admirable and will always be in demand. The timely Senior Play, Mrs. Miniverv, in which Loraine Berning, John Olcott, Lois Craig, Harvey Cocks, Pat Racht, Pat Harruff, Barbara Cross, Elinor Muntzinger, George Waldschmidt, Bob Miller, Ellen Motz, Joan Johnson, and Anita Eller appeared, once more indi- 26 E n 'f n- cated the trend of thought among high schoolersf: Literally getting ready for service were the ath- letes, among whom Harry Hines, Bob Druhot, Curt Kyvik, Don Yant, and Victor Moeller starred. Service with a double S was shown by speakers Bob Zimmer, John Virts, Lois Craig, Fred Collins, Harvey Cocks, John Olcott, and Franklin Neff. Journalists who also servedn are Mary Louise Wil- son, Bill McNulty, Franklin Neff, Marilyn McGuire, Mary Lou Feller, John Logue, Opal Springer, Elinor Muntzinger, Elmer Kahl, Julie Wilson, Martha Moellering, Harry Kelsey, and Joan Dodge. Very special service was done by Ilo Hirschman and Marcella Schwartz, who capably managed the school oH5ce work in the absence of a regular clerk. On June 9, over four hundred seniors received challenges to future service in the form of gradua- tion diplomas. We who have also served are now ready for active service!
