.5004-0'Z'.S ' September 7, 1940, was one of the happiest days of our life. We were out of Ward School and beginning our Freshman year in that mysteri- ous place known as high school. The boys were well awarenof the fish pond and sticker patches. The girls - well, we got it too, what with wearing our dresses backwards with onions and garlic around our necks. Our Sophomore year was not quite so exciting. Six of the girls did get a slight taste of the Junior-Senior banquet. We dressed in white nurses' uniforms in order to carry out that theme, and also had the honor of singing nWe Did It Beforeu at the banquet. Miss Marie Bratton was our sponsor. Junior years are usually always exciting, and so it was for us, too. First came the football Queen election in which we elected Betty Clem.as our cand1date.' She won and was crowned at the Junior-Senior game. Along about mid-term Miss Bratton resigned and Miss Doris Fowler took her place as our sponsor. Under her direction we staged a grand banquet with NAviationH as our theme, carried out in the colors of blue and white which were the chosen colors of that Senior class. A dance followed and went over big even though there was a man shortage.. Our Junior play was named NUtter Relaxationn and was a big success. Do you remember Bill McGinnis in his pajamas? Last, and happiest for some, is our Senior year. There is always plenty to do and plenty of fun to go with it. We could never forget that Junior-Senior game in which every Senior boy took part. It was a whale of a game. That is one time the Senior boys d1dn't let their class down. With the help of our sponsor, Miss Fowler, the Senior class enjoyed working toward making this edition, Na whiz of an Annualn. We carried on a very successful football Queen race in which the proceeds went toward our Annual. The Senior class contributed largely to the Championship football team, four of the boys making all-district. The Senior boys on the team were: James Tibbs, all-district guard, Paul Wheeler, all-district quarter backg Hershel Snoddy, all-district end, Bill Hinkson, all-district tackle, Bill McGinnis, Bobby Carlyle, Leo Danner and Robert Ankenbauer. Out of 36 students who started to school in 1932, only seven plan to graduate together. They are: Bobby Carlyle, Paz Delgado, Paul Wheeler, Marjorie Sadver, Bill Goodson, Bill Hinkson, and Margaret Encke. Every Senior is looking forward to the Junior- Senior Ranquet and dance this year, also Senior privileges and the Senior trip which they usually take every year. As to the teachers of Strawn High, we wish to express our utmost appreciation for helping make these years the happiest years of our school life. p To the Juniors, wewish them the best of luck and happiness in 1945.
