Class History 1940 - 41 September 3, 1940, was one of the most eventful days of our lives because it was the first time that we, 125 happy, healthy, energetic, young men and women, had ever met. With trembling knees and quivering hands, we huddled in small groups in the halls. The passing upper classmen gazed and gazed at us. Some even laughed at us. At our first class meeting, we elected Earl Saxton, president; Calvin Criss, vice- president; Jean Williams, secretary; Mar¬ ilyn Lane, treasurer. Even this early judg¬ ment seems to have been good because these officers whom we did not know very well, proved to be very efficient and suc¬ cessful. Our first social event was the Freshman Reception. We had a chance to show our sportsmanship and to enjoy the stunts which we were asked to do, if we could. At the end of the year, we were no longer known as “green” freshmen; but we were beginning to take a more active part in the life of the school. 1941-42 When the doors of Troy High School opened in the fall of 1941, we noticed sev¬ eral strange faces in our midst. Soon we learned that they were from Luthers Mills. As the year passed along, we discovered that we were lucky to have them as mem¬ bers of our class. This year we organized our class by electing Layton Calkins, presi¬ dent; Earl Saxton, vice-president; Calvin Criss, secretary; June Kelley, treasurer. The Sophomore Hop, our first real social event, was very successful. 1942 - 43 September, 1942, had arrived, and the school days were opened once more to ad¬ mit us as Juniors. This year we organized our class by electing Alton Allen, presi¬ dent; Earl Saxton, vice-president; Jean Wil¬ liams, secretary; June Kelley, treasurer. No Junior supper could be held due to rationing, so each Junior paid fifty cents to pay the Prom expenses. Every Junior did his part to make the Prom a success. Queen June Kelley and King Layton Cal¬ kins were crowned by the king and queen of the preceding year. Here it is the end of the year, again. 1943 - 44 One September morn in 1943, we took our places as Seniors. How proud we were! This year we had a more difficult task than ever because we had to elect four people who could assume great responsi¬ bilities. We did well by electing Layton Calkins, president; Gerald McKerrow, vice-president; Shirley Palmer, secretary; Marilyn Noble, treasurer. We chose “The Very Light Brigade” for the Senior Play, ft was so well liked that it was produced four nights instead of the usual two. As a result of the magazine campaign, we gave more money to help change the old home economics room into a very nice library. The library has now been completed, and many new books have been purchased. We are very proud, as a group, of the honors which the members of our class have brought to the school; both individual and group, scholastic or extra-curricular. Now we leave this school to face a world at war. We know that by completing our education we are better equipped to help win the war and the peace as good Ameri¬ can citizens. 25
