Class History . . . Fourteen nervous, but eager young freshmen greeted their professors on a Sep- tember morning of 1941. They had great hopes for their future scholastic accomplish- ments. Only two members of this original group, Jack Hutchinson and Ray Ewing, have stayed through the four years. In the sophomore year there were only nine members in the class, among them Hodgert, Sweeney and Ueland. The junior year saw the class total boosted to twenty- two, among them Benefiel, Boyle, Collins, Fraser, Kenney, Miller and Schmalz. The juniors played a major part in the athletic and social events of the school. This year brought in Mike Fitzpatrick and Bill Wilson. At the same time Uncle Sam took away several members of the class-Miller, Wilson, Schmalz, Collins, Fraser, Fitzpatrick and Hodgert finished their high school work at midyear. Two members of the junior class, Jerry Lamm and John Griffith, joined our ranks at midyear and by long hours of persevering study, will earn the coveted diploma. viii?
