JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY On September 1, 1941, twenty six timid Freshmen started their high school careers. During the pleasant year of 41-42 two parties were enjoyed by the Freshmen and fellow students. The initation party was held to better acquaint the Freshies with their classmates and the other students. The other party took place on Halloween night. Class officers for 41-42 were: President ....... ...... Margaret Strine. Vice-President............ Frances Hardy. Secretary-Treasurer Mona Jean Roby. Class Advisor............ John Lafief. Of the twenty-six Freshmen twenty-four remained to enroll as Sophomores in September, 1942. During this year we lost Norman Lindsey and Samuel Swartzbaugh but Theodore Poynter from Texas and Donald Johnson from Parkersburg came to fill these vacancies. Class officers for 42-43 were: President ----------------------- Frances Hardy. Vice-President --------------- Margaret Strine. Secretary-Treasurer Margaret Meisenheimer. Sergeant-at-Arms Homer Moudy. Class Advisor .......... C. Don Betebenner. The Sophomores had two parties during the year. One party was given to the Sopho- mores by the faculty for their excellent work in gathering scrap materials in the Nation Wide Scrap Drive. The Sophomores collected 10,985 pounds of scrap material. The other party was given by the Sophomores and each person attending brought one guest. At the end of the year there were twenty-three students who completed their Sophomore year. The sophomores returned as Jolly Juniors in 1943 with three members absent. Joan Col- lins moved to Vincennes where she is now attending school and Theodore Poynter discontinued his school work. During the year Mary Jane Miller left us to continue her schooling at Noble and one of our former students, Richard Miller from Dayton, Ohio, moved back and is now finishing his school year here.
