the future members of our varsity team. QNot to be prejudiced, but that team is about the best.J During our first year G. A. A. was a new organization and many of us became members. You know, we felt pretty smart when we were sophomores because we had the largest class in school fand some say, the noisiest, but well, we didn't have to believe thatj. Our officers that year were Bob Haage and Joan Rhinehart, presidents, Gene Van Dyke, vice-president, Betty Cross, secretary, and Sally Stretch, treasurer. Mary Lou and Joyce were on Student Council. As I remember it, we were really on the ball that year. Bobby Johnston, and Jerry Barker made the varsity basketball squadg Joan Rhinehart and Joe Maurer were active in the music department, Sally, Mary Lou, Barb, Johnny Malmberg and Marilyn Mette worked on the Clarion staff, and all of us were members of various school clubs fa definite asset, what say?J Our Junior year brought us into the lime light for 'twas there that we showed our talent at acting. Remember In a House Like This , Rod? Yes, indeed! Who could imagine Betty Cross as a cranky old grannie!-and Mary Lou and Norman as Mom and Pop-Hmm-weren't Burtie and Joyce a cute couple? Then there were Margy, the maid, Joan, the sophisticated lady, Gene Murray and Barb Kinder as the lovers, Gene Kauth as a business man, and Rog Freedlund as the older son of the family. Hey! Those picket fences! I keep seeing them in my dreams. How about that chocolate milk shake in the piano, Carol? And Miss Winegarner, such a tireless worker at the Junior-Senior Prom! At the close of our junior year May Lou was elected student council prexy for that all important year '44-'-45. She received both our congratulations and our sympathy, but we all knew she'd be the A no. 1 leader that she had always been in the past. What have we done this year, kids? Just about everything and more, I guess. Our athletes, Bobby Johnston, Jerry Barker, Johnny Wroan, Earl Fry, will all be missed next year, I know. We wonder how school will continue without our musicians, actors, actresses, debators, journalists, scientists, etc., but I suppose it won't be long until we're part of the dim past. You may forget us, but we won't forget you, nor will we forget our happy and eventful days at old U. High. Bye now, chicks and laws! Be seein' ya! Keep things buzzin'. i

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.
