CLASS POEM There is always found in memory A place for our high school years That is forever sacred, yet happy, Through our smiles as well as our tears. To our parents so loving and dear May we ever show honor and gratitude For all they have done for us year by year As we through our school days pursued. To our teachers, so patient and kind, Be thankful for everything in every way. They have helped us in lessons to find Knowledge and character day by day. To our colors, let us forever be true, The white stands for virtuous purity. Truth is found hidden in the blue; May truth and purity be our life’s security. “Tonight we launch, where shall we anchor” Is the chosen motto of our class. But let us not be found in languor Lest all great opportunities by us pass. Even though we finish in the year 43 In this year of world war and envious strife, To our school and class forever be Loyal, all the days and years of our life. —MARTHAVY ODER, CLAss FLOWER Lilac CLass COLORS W hite and Blue

CLASS HISTORY In the summer of 1939 fifty-seven inspired pupils entered high school. Twenty- nine of these pupils had completed their elementary school training at Union, and twenty-eight came from Howard’s Creek School. The following officers were elected: President, Mable Leonard; Secretary, Evelyn Brown; and Treasurer, Inez Ward. All went well under the leadership of these three, and almost before we realized it, the year had passed. There were thirty-nine that responded to the call of the ninth grade. One of our first duties was to elect officers. They were: President, Robert Leonhardt; Secretary, Evelyn Brown; and Treasurer, Inez Ward. We tried to prove worthy of our name, wise Sophomores. Twelve of the girls were selected as waitresses for the annual Junior-Senior banquet. Our class was honored at commencement with four of our class receiving medals. They were Bachman Brown, History; Evelyn Brown, Mathematics; Mable Leonard, Science; and Carl Avery, Sportsmanship. As we began our Junior year our enrollment was thirty-nine. Nine of these joined the Beta Club. Those leading the class were: President, Bachman Brown; Vice-President, Inez Ward; Secretary, Evelyn Brown; and Treasurer, James Seagle. The highlight of the year was the Junior-Senior banquet. We carried out the theme Hitch Your Wagon to a Star. Our Junior play was Bashful Bobby given at commencement. Again, two members received medals, Bachman Brown, English; and Mable Leonard, Debating. In July 1942 we found ourselves back at Union as dignified Seniors. Our first act was to elect officers. Those selected were: President, Robert Leonhardt; Vice- President, James Seagle; Secretary, Evelyn Brown; Treasurer, Mary B. Carpenter; and Class Advisor, Miss Lutz. This year four more members joined the Beta Club making a total of thirteen members from our class. During the year five members left us, so now our class has a membership of twenty-three—six boys and seventeen girls. Due to war-time conditions and to a nation-wide rationing program, our class has not had the opportunity to engage in many extra curricula activities this year. Our most outstanding program was our Senior play, “So Help Me Hanna”. The Class of ’43 has always been active and outstanding in all phases of school life: In scholarship, in athletics, in dramatics, debating, 4-H Club work, and in all school activities. We are now looking forward to graduation, the time when we can take our places as responsible citizens of our county, state, and nation. M. S. HEavner, Historian.
