Four short years ago, we started our high school career as Freshmen. Many of us had already begun to show our qualities of leadership, perseverence, and good fellowship hy taking places on the athletic field, in the classrooms, and with the cluhs. In our Sophomore year we did not talce the strange school hy storm, hut we were well represented in all fields of endeavor. We had more than our share on the varsity lnoothall team and we were well represented on the loaslcethall court, in various clulas, and in deloate. During our Junior year, our chests swelled with pride as we elected officers, chose our colors, and received our rings. We Icept up our good worlc, hy placing the most players on the varsity lootloall team, having an undefeated junior varsity dehale team. and having a good representation on the haslcetlaall court. At long last we reached our goal-we were the ruling Seniors and we vowed to malce our class one long remembered in the history ol' Tamaqua High School. Because of our good fellowship and social functions, we made ourselves a reputa- tion for laeing the most popular class in high school. Through our classes. sports, and clubs we achieved leadership, strength, and cooperation: with these traits as our weapons we are armed to face the world. As the Class of '43 has made its marlc in school, so, I am sure, it will malce its marlc in this turbulent world of today. Page Eighteen
