They were the underlings, the unimportant Freshmen. Now this same group has completed its work in high school, and although the group has somewhat dwindled, it has stuck together through the four years. But these boys and girls didn't remain unimportant for long: they soon became so active that even the Seniors regarded them as a group to respect and admire. Soon after the school year of 1939 began the Freshmen were off! The president proved to be one of the best and it was under his guidance that the class began. Parties galore were held-more activities than the other classes had seen in a while. There was a wonderfully successful hayride and various other types of parties. What a jolly year! In the Sophomore year this group continued on its merry pace. The former president was good enough for them again, and he soon showed the upper classmen what a class could do. The class proved that their pep and vitality could last. Hayride, school parties, and skating parties-such a whirl! And then during the Junior year the class brought forth its originality and ability. This was the year that Anna became presidentithe first girl for quite a while to lead a class. But it was'no mistake. This was a year of work for them and Anna ably led them through. The main job was the Prom-and such a Prom as they presented to the Seniors! The class raised money for the Prom by selling stationery-a very original and quite ,profitable campaign. And then the last few weeks of school were busy ones. The gym never saw such decorations. The idea of a colonial mansion was excellent-and just ask the '42 class how they liked the Prom! But the Senior year was different. The world was in a turbulent state and the class was affected. It was during this year that the boys and girls became men and women. Activities were a second thought: the war was first in everyone's mind. Quite a few members left the class to serve in the armed forces. Even though this class proved to be the most active one the high school had seen for a long time, studies were foremost. And so it will be some of the members of this graduating class of '43 that will help to bring the world back in a hap- pier condition, so that other timid Freshmen can live and frolic as they once did.
