Cllaaa J-hzltonu, The final step in our high school career brought Mary jean Owen as Presi- dent, Rosemary Ryan as Vice-President, Mardell Ingram as Secretary, and Phyllis Hall as Treasurer. With these capable officers, the class started a very successful and busy year. The first activity of the year was Tacky Day which was spent enjoying the fair countryside. The chief mode of transportation was walking. Later in the Fall a weiner roast was held with great success at Bailey's Bridge south of Wyoming. A hayrack ride was enjoyed by all' after the weiner roast. As the months rolled on, plans for the annual Senior trip were made, but the plans were finally abandoned because of the war. A bobsled party was held during the first of the New Year which was fun for the more hardy members of the class. Another activity was the potluck supper held at the high school where dancing and pingpong were tops for entertainment. Baccalaureate was held Sunday, May 2, and Commencement Exercises were held on May 7, 1943. We had traveled a hard, straight course but now we had attained our first real goal. Outstanding students in athletics were, Don Arganbright, Arnold Dawson, Bob Iackson, Harley Steward, Merle Streitmatter, and Wyllis Tyler. Those prominent in the field of music were Don Arganbright, Phyllis Hall, Pauline Leadley, Harley Steward, Verla Stisser, and Kenny Streitmatter. Those students showing talent in dramatics were Wallace Brown, lane Curtis, Norma Dixon, Bob Jackson, and Pauline Leadley. We have finally reached the last step of the ladder. With our motto -- Victory is ours forever --we shall march forth, all of us in different di- rections to meet the trial and tribulations of the future.
