CLASS .HISTORY CTHE RECORDJ This history is written in accordance to the modern tendencies in historical writing, the author emphasizing only factors which appeal to us as most vital. The work is divided into four parts: Discovery, Exploration, Settlement and Development. DISCOVERY The faculty strolling aimlessly, discovered a group of foreigners huddled inside the front door. These dauntless, experienced explorers, noticed these strangers seemed distinct and different from other foreign groups. The Principal was delighted with this remarkable acquisition to his territory. The strangers' trophies were examined, and they were divided into small groups and given the name, Freshmen. They were taught strange customs and manners. They were permitted to form an organiza- tion of their own with the following officers: President, Robert Cole, Vice President, Darrel Hoodg Secretary, Virginia Gaddisg Treasurer, Ralph Davisg Student Council, lylaxine Miiierg Seargent-at-arms, Robert Tetrickg Advisors, Bliss Eickmeyer and Miss Nash. EX PLO RATION The skill of the Freshmen became so great that they were renamed Sophomores and they set out to explore different lands such as football, basketball, music and dramatics. showing much skill and prowess in each. This group did not always find intellectual gold mines but frequently found vast arid places, totally uninhabited. However they pushed bravely on through the underbrush of ignorance, knowing that compensation awaited them. They organized a company with the following officers: President, VVillis Nybergg Vice President, Ward Greeng Secretary, Patricia Nlc- Curdyg Treasurer, Arnie Ingalls: Student Council, Marviii Hunt, Advisors, lllrs. lWcKeown and lN'Ir. Hare. SETTLE M E NT The explorers found richer fields and settled in the lands of athletics, romance, music and fundamental subjects. They were renamed Juniors, Their promotion made their sense of importance increase out of all due proportion. Badges of honor, pins of excellence adorned the leaders of the group. There were few casualties dur- ing these disturbing times as nothing remained settled for long. A big celebration known as junior Prom was held in honor of the progress made. New settlers were coming to crowd them into new lands. The Juniors organized a unit with the following officers: President, john O'Hallorang Vice President, Nlarvin l-luntg Secretary, Marita Wiseg Treasurer, Ulric Uoraisg Seargent-at-arms, Arnie Ingalls: Student Council, Bill Berrethg Advisors, Nliss VVeaver and lylr. Smith. ' DEVELOPMENT Automatically they were renamed Seniors -with this title they began to take themselves seriously. As the year drew to a close they were positively dizzy with dignity. They organized their factions early in the year with the following officers: President, VVard Green, Vice President, Arnie Ingalls, Secretary, Mary Ream, Trea- surer, Earl Schmalleg Seargents-at-arms, Ralph Collins, jack Patterson, Advisors, Blrs. Nlullen and Nlr. Fowler. Social events were of marked brilliance. Those most worthy of -note were as fol- lows -- Senior dance. Senior play. At the expiration of the four years, the faculty was greatly pleased and pro- nounced this group all highly eligible for admission as citizens. The prediction was made that their names would be written in the history of the United States. APPENDIX VVe take this opportunity to say that the class of 1940 is the most brilliant class known to history and will always be a model to other historians. First in grades, Never at VVar, and always in the heart of the faculty. 15
