1939 U AND I SENIOR CLASS HISTORY Today the class of '39 stands on the threshold of maturity, united in friendship, perhaps a little sad at the inevitable parting, but, nevertheless, eager for the adven- tures of life ahead. Four years ago this same class consisted of a group of naive Freshmen who were, for the most part, strangers to each other. In the four years which have intervened, a remarkable change has been wrought. The development of the class of '39 might well be compared to the growth of a symphony orchestra from a mere collection of instruments and players into a har- monious whole. Our first year was spent mainly in getting acquainted and in learning to study and to work as a unit. We were taught to subdue the brass section of the orchestra and to concentrate upon quality of tone rather than upon volume. Wendel Lehmann acted as conductor, Mary Lou Little, as concertmaster, Nellie Sturts, as librarian, and Margaret Crandell, as business manager. Miss Bower and Mr. Astell counseled us. The success of our first public appearance, the spring party, proved our ability and showed great promise for the future. The next year, Iohn Hunter was chosen conductor, Barbara Benton, concert- master, David Kraehenbuehl, librarian, and Wendel Lehmann, business manager. Miss Bower and Mr. Alstrom advised us. The orchestra went into full swing early in the year and enjoyed an Gctober picnic. By the time we had produced a successful party in February, we had learned to play more or less in tune. As Iuniors, We reached the upper bracket in the quality and status of our orches- tra. That year, Priscilla Fletcher became conductor, Harriet Rodebush, concert- master, Isabel Case, librarian, and Barbara Burt, business manager. In order to make a paying concern of the symphony society, we named Milton Shedd chairman of the candy sales. Miss Changnon and Miss Kramer counseled the orchestra. We gave a series of successful performances. including the Christmas party, the Iunior play, Drums of Deathg a talent assembly, and the supreme production-the Junior- Senior banquet held at the Urbana Country Club. During our Senior year we have reached a new peak in our efficiency and co- operation. Our brass section has been adequately balanced by the strings. Frances Iones conducted our final efforts, Harry Swartz was concertmaster, Barbara Benton, librarian, and Paul Iohnson, business manager. Mrs. Hess and Miss McHarry have been our guides. Besides the Halloweien party, we presented a play, Tliree-Cornercn' Moon. Next year some of us will enter college to join similar symphonies, While others will go out into the world to form new organizations, but, no matter where We are, we shall always look back upon the fruition of four years of hard work at University High School in the form of our Hnal performances-our annual and our com- mencement.
