Senioa Glaaa .Balm Hi ya Gang, Wfell, here we are-Seniors! Can you believe it? Way back in 1941 when we entered the halls ,of U. High, graduation day was a longed-for but a seemingly unattain- able goal, wasn't it? We're very luckyg it seemes that our generation has taken things too much for granted. Look at the buildings at good old U. H. S. Our grandparents would be more at home in the log cabin school house than in our surroundings of pink and green rooms. Hmmm-and that scrumptious library which opened in our sophomore year! Do you think Uncle john could have got his report on George Rodgers Clark half so well and speedily without those good reference books and Miss Stulbblefield? Nineteen forty-one was indeed an important year for us, but little did we realize in September that it would be a year never to be forgotten by the people of our United States-the year when our country entered World War II. Although there were all kinds of paper drives, collection of rubber, war .bond drives, etc., it didn't quite strike home until we saw our joe's march off to war, leaving school before graduation in order to fight for our country. Well, all those boys are still members of our class, and we surely hope that when they read about our school activities, they will know that we count them as seniors too. Do you suppose that we were little and green when we were freshies? fPardon us for the crack, dear freshmen, we're casting no reflections upon you, and we'll later give you the opportunity to say what you please about uslj. I can remember that a few of us kids did get lost during the first days of school, and, oh me, how hard it was to get down to the habitual grind of studying! I think we caught on fairly quickly though, don't you? Miss Winegarner, our advisor, helped us to get started, and in the spring of that f1rst year we elected our officers-Let's see, Mary Lou was our prexy, wasn't she? Then there were .Gene Van Dyke, Sally Stretch, and Kenny Keighin, as vice-prexy, secretary and treasurer respectively. Marilyn Mette and Bill Benjamin were chosen as members of the Student Council. It seems to me that we were represented in most of the school's major activities during our freshmen year. Those freshie-sophomore football and basketball games thrilled us because there were

Isn't that collegiate? was heard echoing through the corridors of U. High. Speaking, of course, was a member .of the junior class, the most collegiate class in the school. The president this year was Eldred Popejoy, Charlotte Miller and Everette Roeder were vice-president and secretary-treasurer respectively. The Student Council representatives were John Harvey and Carlton Gamer. The junior class play Girl Shy was given in Capen auditorium on Friday, November 17, leading parts being taken by Merle Murray, Pat Hollowell, and Everette Roeder. Girl Shy was acclaimed as one of the most successful junior plays in several ears. Y The junior class was represented in all of the major activities of the school. Don Sherrard, distinguished himself as a member of the varsity .basketball team, he was always right there when needed and his held baskets added many joints to the squads total score for this year. Other juniors in athletics were Dave Lewis, Bob Hougham, John Harvey, Bill Ewing, Paul Miller, Eldred Popejoy, John Teter, Allan Bruno, Ted Crihfield, Floyd Bonds, Jim Johnston, Harry Ziegler. Carlton Gamer was pianist for the mixed chorus, of which many juniors were members. At each of the games and at the all-school parties, the juniors were ever present at their posts, selling candy and col-ces. Proceeds from the class play, as well as those from the candy and coke sales, went toward the Junior-Senior Banquet and Prom, which was held on May 18. Without the help of their sponsor, Miss Ruth Stroud, the class would have had much difficulty in getting over the bumps of their third year at University High School.
