4 Seniafz Saga lVhen we entered STHS in the fall of '38, we did not feel like warriors. lVe were amazed and bewildered for a few weeks and then we suddenly found that this was a pretty nice place. VVe elected Bill Kidwell president, and Juanita Almquist was our homecoming queen. Bedford Bozell was our only football man. VVe were represented by Myrna Stricklan and Evelyn Howard in the Homecom- ing play. Thus the largest class ever to enter the S.T.H.S. completed their Fresh- man year. As we started our Sophomore year, we were at ease and ready to help the Freshmen learn the ropes. Our medicine man was Miss Body. George Light was tl1e able president and Dorothy Elder was our queen. Joyce Yarnell, VVarren Hall, and Myrna Stricklan did their bit in the Homecoming play. Vivacious Icca Reeser was elected cheer leader. Our athletes were Orris Punches, football, Bill Kidwell and Elwood Aldridge, basketball, and Earl Bragg, track. As proud upperclassmen we began our successful Junior year, with James Lehman as our big chief. lVe honored the Seniors with a Mexican Fiesta. Our class play, ttJune Mad, was presented with Betty Butler, Joyce Yarnell, James Lehman, and Frank Martin in the leading roles. Growing Pains was the homecoming play with Betty Butler, Myrna Stricklan, and Frank Martin playing three leads. Icca Reeser was our bid for homecoming queen. Our operetta repre- sentatives were Myrna Stricklan, June Pifer, and Dale Lee. The four members of our class wl1o were elected to the National Honor Society were Joyce Yarnell, Betty Butler, Bill Kidwell, and VVarren Jenkins. Elwood Aldridge, Charles Atchi- son, lVillard Beals, Charles England, Bruce Frederick, Bill Kidwell, and Orris Punches were are muscle men in football. Those out for basketball were Bill Kidwell, Charles Atchison, Arthur Aylward, Earl Bragg, James Lehman, and James Shields. - As we entered the wide doors of S. T. H. S. on our last 'tfirst day of school, we felt a pang of regret. lVe elected George Light to act as our president again for this year. Our Senior Queen, also elected the Homecoming Queen, was Ruth Brackney, and Bill Kidwell was the Homecoming manager. Several of our class who were in the Homecoming Play were Myrna Stricklan, Betty Butler, Maurice Kimbrough, Marjory Clevenger and Roberta Nicolay. Our letter men for the 1941 football season were Bill Kidwell, Charles Atchison, VVillard Beals, Gail Cochran, Arthur Aylward, Bruce Frederick, Warren Jenkins, James Lehman and Robert Roy. Our representatives on the basketball squad were Bill Kidwell, Charles Atchison, Arthur Aylward, Earl Bragg. James Lehman and James Shields. Our last, and most eventful, high school year was curtailed to some extent by the shortening of the second semester as an aid to national defense. Thus four years of profitable work and play have passed and we are facing the future. Page 9
