Page 3 XCGA Ml' E IOR CLASS HI TORY SENIORSIXI NOT AT LAST,-BUT ALREADY. One eventful day in September, 1938, Freshmen trooped into Van Wert High School, blissfully looking forward to four Cor morej laborious years of study. Here we are-at the end of the trail. It wasn't a long trail but a short pleasant one which ended so abruptly that it has left us scurrying around like so many perplexed ants. Most of us, when we sit down and think about it, wish that we had it to do over againg but that is quite impossible. Our class has always contributed a good share to the football and basketball teams that have won great fame for Van Wert High. Many other sports have been welcomed by both the girls and the boys. The Junior-Senior Prom, presented in honor of the Seniors, was one of the finest in the history of our school. It required a great deal of work and we are justly proud of the results obtained due to the excellent cooperation of our Junior Class. The live Juniors elected to the National Honor Society were Frank Corathers, Joan Eggerss, Jim Lamy, Betty Murray, and Constance Soldner. Elected to the society this year were Betty Stevens, Betty Yocum, Wilson Duprey, John Shoop, Helene Webster, Marilyn Hunstead, Dick Eeigert, Dick Morgan, Jim Monroe, Norma Milligan, Dorothy Eorwalter, Joe Wolf, and Ann Willoughby. Yes-here we are at the end of the trail. As we unpack and put our things away for the last time, we find ourselves in a most peculiar frame of mind. We are unhappy-yet happy: Unhappy, because we are departing from our beloved school for the last time, happy, because we realize that in the Class of '43 we have fellow students capable of upholding the high traditions of Van Wert High School. Carry on, Juniors! JAMES LAMY Jim When it comes to Presidents, Lamy's the man, If anybody can do it, He surely can!
