SEMAPHORE 1943 CLASS HISTORY As we, the Class of 1943, leave the Stoughton High School, we take with us fond memories of four happy years spent under protection and guidance. 1939- 40 With the title of freshmen we began our first year at Stoughton High School, realizing we were to respect the upper-classmen. Dorothy McPherson and James Critser were elected as our class representatives to the Student Council. Our Freshman Dance was a success, considering we were beginners. After our first year we were ready for our Sophomore year. 1940- 41 Having finished our freshman year we prepared to vote for our class officers. We chose Carl Pearson, president; Dorothy McPherson, vice president; Milton Bishop, treasurer; and Dorothy Holmes, secretary. We held a Sophomore Dance, which was also a success. Many of our classmates participated in activities of other classes. Wc Sophomores never had a dull moment to lose. So — we must mention the group roller-skating parties at Rolland. Without a doubt, we all enjoyed ourselves. 1941- 42 At last. Juniors! Now we ' re really climbing up in the world. We were excited over the thoughts of getting our class rings. The popular ring chosen was striking with its red stone and gold seal. Some rings were all gold. The Junior Prom with its appropriate winter atmosphere was typical of the class of 1943 ' s third success throughout the years. To help us carry out the success in our Junior year we chose the following officers: Paul McDermott, president ; Dorothy McPherson, vice-president ; Milton Bishop, treas- urer; and Dorothy Holmes, secretary. 1942- 43 Wc were now Seniors, and we had reached our goal. Now we really appreciated the educational and social value obtained in school. This was our last year to vote for class officers and the results were: Lawrence Russell, president; Dorothy McPherson, vice-president; Milton Bishop, treasurer; and Dorothy Holmes, secretary. The Senior Play, Young April, ' with a cast of 16, was a huge success and brought out a good deal of theatrical talent. Commencement week, with the Reception, Banquet and Class Day, kept us all very gay and busy; but at its close many of us were filled with sorrow and sadness at the realization that we were leaving high school and its many activities. Because of the present crisis, we, the Seniors who are left behind to do our job at home, wish every other senior, boy or girl, who may enter the ser ' ice, every bit of luck and good fortune so that they may be entitled to a normal and happy life after victory is won. Hoping to make bigger and better history, we pass through Stoughton High School ' s portals with a feeling that we are more a part of this great nation than has been any other graduating class in its history. 16
