Three Down . . . One To Go . . To record the history of so glorious a class as 1941 is indeed a perplexing task. Our deeds and accomplishments of note have been many. We have been an illustrious body of students ever since we first were gathered together. To make a complete record of the events in our career we must go back to that balmy September day when thas' of us who had graduated from grade school proudly marched to school bearing our primers and slates with the dignity of professors. It would be difficult to recognize some of our handsome Juniors in the round faced little shavers who set out upon the flowery pa h of knowledge. The ambitious and effervescing spirits seem to have been bubbling over constant!’-Distinctly we remember how, as Freshmen, we were filled with awe and wonder at sight of the long looked for goal, and how small and insignificant we felt amid the Sedate Seniors, Jubilant Juniors, Snickering Sophomores and members of our own class—the Foolish Fresh-ies. In our Freshman and Sophomore years nothing of great note occurred except that upon becoming the latter we lost much of our former un-sophisticaied manner and learned to look down upon the lower classmen with glances of superiority. Our Freshman-Sophomore dances were complete successes and our choices for council members were excellent. In our Freshman year they were Lura Mae Werner and Frederick Ramge while Peggy Jones and John Henry Fritz served in our Sophomore year. We were properly represented on the Lantern Staff by Lura Mae Werner and Elizabeth Springer. Many of our members joined the Girl Reserves and Hi-Y. However it was in our Junior year that we commenced to open into full bloom and took on the serious attitude of the upper classmen. We have at all times demonstrated our capability in athletics, our ’ligence in class work, and our superior excellent- .. dramatics and other thinas. It was our duty this year to be responsible for the editing of the Lantern. We did a splendid job of it, too, with Lura Mae Werner as editor and Jean Marie Blank as assistant editor. This year Peggy Jones, Lura Mae Werner, Kenneth Kemper and Frederick Ramge were the School Council Representatives. Peggy is also secretary-treasurer of her class, while Charles Miller serves as president, Frederick Ramge as vice-president and Jim Whalen as service director. It was our duty to bear the responsibility of the Junior-Senior Reception this year. Many more of our classmates have joined the Girl Reserves and Hi-Y. Peggy Jones was made devotional leader of the Girl Reserves for the school term. Mark Winget and Gene Schnell became president and vice-president respectively of the Stamp Club. On December 8, 1939, the juniors presented the hilarious mystery-comedy, One Mad Night under the direction of Miss Barnes. The class proved it possessed true acting ability in this presentation. And now we have completed three years of our high school career. Most of those days of mingled joy and turbulency are over and, to the ineffable delight of fond parents, teachers, and members of '41, all are well satisfied.
