Of course We know that they are gone, So We must go instead of lingering on, Adeiu dear teachers, friends and all, Out into the world we go to make our call, Our days at T. V. H S. were full of fun, hind thoughts had always come in tons. Sc we are sorry that We must part, With tear dimmed eyes, and a saddened heart, We bid farewell to Thompson High School, And we go armed, with the Golden Rule, For all who helped us, and all who care, There's a place in our hearts, where memories we share.

CLASS H I STORY In the fall of 1940, twenty-eight Freshmen eagerly climbed the stair- way at Thompson Vocational High School to begin their high school career. In the early part of the year we had a misfortune, three classmates, Hazel Eade, Elmer Bryden, and Joseph Slama left us to fulfill other duties. Before we knew it, the year was over and we were Sophomores, climbing higher and higher to the ladder of success. Our joys were over- fiowing when three new members, Ruth Boose, Ernest Burchell, and Ray Welch joined us. But then we were sorry to lose seven others, namely: Elizabeth June, Jean Wheeler, Ruth Boose, Albert Lowrie, Benny Slama, Ray Welch, and Howard Cobb. During the year We had a successful Hollowe'en Party, and a candy sale. Throughout our Junior year, our activities were rather limited be- cause of the war. However, we managed two lunch sales and a magazine contest. All proved successful. Elis Brooks, Elizabeth Burman, Robert Crandall, Marion Seeley, and Carl Livingston left us, and Elizabeth June joined us again. As we entered the school house in 1943, we realized we were Seniors, and this probably would be our last year together. Therefore, We had to make it a successful one. Gladys Wall, a Starrucca girl, joined us, and Elizabeth Burman and Carl Livingston rejoined us. It was not long before Elizabeth Burman's name was changed to Mrs. Oakley. But again, we lost two more, Alice Crosier Ross, who assumed domestic duties, and Ernest Burchell, who left to his country's call. Activities for the year included a chicken supper, and a Drama entitled, Spider's Web. We know that our Senior success is due to Mr. Gelatt, our sponsor. His willing efforts and cooperation will not be forgotten. Throughout the four years of our high school career we have been well represented in school activities. We have had members in Baseball, Basketball, Orchestra, Band, and Glee Clubs. Now, as we close our school books and bid all our friends farewell, we look back at our high school days, and know that they have helped us to prepare for our life's journey. For this, we shall always remember our days at Thompson Vocational High School. MARY HUBAL i l :S l . Q
