THE SElvIOR CLASS OF 1944 Class Colors — Rose and Gola Class Motto-- Forward Vi ltxiout Fear Class Flower--Talisman Rose OFFICERS President--Everett Ringenberg Vice President — Harold Murohy Sec ' y-Treas .--Mary Sheefel Sponsor--E. H. Paschen, Prin. On the first Tuesday in September, 1940, nineteen cock- sure and complacent individuals strutted xnto the schoolhouse with the intention of taking the place by storm, for our group representee tne cream from such townsnips as Sutler, Jackson, ' Newville, and Spencer. Six of this number were orig- inally from Spencerville; so that left thirteen of us to be really green Freshmen. We spent the first fev days getting acquainted and adjusted. The seniors, especially, gave us a hearty v;elcome. V e wondered at this somewhat, but were told by the six pioneers that it was the seniors ' privilege to ini- tiate us — whatever that mi ht mean. On the second Friday night, we found out. We were the victims whom the seniors, in the presense of a responsive audience, man-handled and fed any- thing from stewed macaroni, telling us it was fish worms, to cayenne pepper, which they said would be good for our morale.. At the beginning of the third week, then, we became an integral part of Spencerville High and for many weeks we knew little else than gruelling study. But the year closed with the allegiance of the September green horns firmly cemented to 3. H. S. In 1941, we were Sophomores. We had won a new classmate, Arthur McSoriey, who stayed with us only one semester, but we had lost Merle Goldsmith, who did not return, also Gerald Means, who continued his studies at St. Joe, and Lydla Brlskeyj who transferred to Hicksville. This year went more smoothly, and our efforts were concentrated on achieving the status of upperclassmen, which we would have as Juniors. Tt was now September, 1942; we were Juniors with roll call showinp: the absence of Ruth Ayers and Mildred 3ry. Late in the year Ja ' -e Hoover from i.eo joined our band. As Juniors we had many things to mull over. Among the most important were the choice of a play and the plans for the reception. After much study and planning, Toby Doodle Dandy was selected as the play. It was given to a full house and was well received. The receipts from this were used to swell the funds for the reception which Juniors and Seniors alike enjoyed at the YWCA on April 17. But soon it was September, 1943. One of our number, Barbara Wasson, chose the primrose path of matrimony, and only fourteen thoughtful persons enrolled as Seniors. The end was in sight. We filled our schedules to capacity. We found the last year overflowing with almost everything including both work and play. One of the ma or tasks was to sponsor the publication of the year book; another was to put on a successful play, all at the same time that we were trying to keep our grades and credits earning the diploma for which we had been striving since that first Tuesday in September, 1940, 20
