sENIOR CLAss of 1942 = l4s

Dye been asked to dig back in the past to the time thls years Seniors started high school --To some it seems hardly possible that we were ever that young but if memory serves me right it seems we entered high school with I6 little classmates. Years passed-some dropped out, some entered. So now we are left with only 9 Seniors. We haven't been the most active of Seniors but I'll try to relate some Of the things we've done this year.
 At our first class meeting the fu- ture looked black. work was about all that seemed ahead of us. With a good deal of prodding from our ad- visor though, We started in on what We had to do.
 Our first entertainment was the Senior Christmas tree which We spOn- sored for the High School and 7th and Sth grades This was a moderate success and showed lack of planning as we couldn't seem to decide to get down to work til the event was right on us.
 Keen rivals of ours all year were the Juniors-We let them run off with honOrs on our candy sale since We were a little ashamed to say the amount of money We had made. We thought that they were also going to fail us when We gave our Senior Ball Dances had been given such a short time before and had drawn fair crowd Then we started pulling to- gether and worked until We had an entirely new decorating scheme and many tickets sold-then time for the dance to start rolled around. We were caught unprepared for some things, but all was finished up and when the hall was left in a shambles we found that We had at least financial ly skunked the Juniors!
 After a while our advisor found it necessary to point out that Com meneement was drawing near and all were unprepared So, for the last few weeks we have been slaving on Commencement speeches and plans

JUNIOR GLASS

Last fall at our first class meet ing we set out with one purpose in miRd.-a banquet for the Seniors. and how to raise money for it!
 We talked about all kinds of ways Of making this. so our first step was a candy sale at which We set off for a good start by making S7.00 at a school sale!
 Then someone popped up with the idea that we really should do our share to help win the war. so we gave what We called a Defense Par ty'. At this We sold 10 each student a 25-cent defense stamp as a ticket to the party. On that party we spent s4.50 (about) and we also sold $2O worth Or more of defense stamps That was really a swell party even if I do say so myself The assembly was all decorated in red. white and blue. Everything was strictly for Victory"
 At several Of the games last winter We sold punch and made quite a bit.
 Then came spring so We planned a Junior Prom It was sort of hard to get all the things we really want ed for it, but We did our best. First We seraped up an orchestra. Then we got out our advertisements for it. We decorated the hall with crepe paper, red. white and blue, and went about town selling tickets for it. Then the night of the dance rolled around everyone began to worry whether anyone was eoinmg or not. and to our great surprise the biggest and, I'm sure the best, crowd of the year showed up! And our dance went over!
 Now We could plan the banquet, so We set a date for 1t, and planned our menu. On May 8 We had our long planned Junior-senior banquet. We served tomato juice as a cocktail,

to begin this. There are so terribly many fashions today 1t seems to be almost impossible to und a place to start in! Oh Here Is a Madam oiselle Magazine, shall glance through it and see just what l can find for summeri-
 The first thing that caught my eye Is a pinafore of all white pique! It's awfully dainty, and summer looking. It gives such d fresh look. These pinafores are also very popu- lar in checks. The popular colors seem 10 be red. blue, green and white.
 The round and square necked dirndles, both in cotton and rayon seen to be very popular.
 Those gay prints which are us ually large flowers. seem to be ever in the front in fashions
 The afternoon dresses are found to be we'll tailored shirt neeks. short sleeves and the somewhat flared skirt in smart pastel or dark blue Or green. Light weight wooIs. rayon. gabardine or spun rayon.
 I won't say much about stockings as I'm sure you all know just about all you can get nowdays. Gee! To think once we could really go down and buy a pair of silk or nylon stockings whenever we wanted them Heavens!
 Shoes are plain and practical look ing. Oxfords are. of course. popular but we'll probably zee a lot of san dals as warm weather draws near.
 Now I shall mention some of the fashions which are seen about school these days
 Joan and Jean have two really darling dresses of cotton check. One is green and white and the other is blue on white They are trimmed in white eyelet embroidery.
 Jane has a new sailor dress of dark blue crepe timmed in white Rhoda has one just about like it. They have darling white ties on them its the Nayy.)
 We have noticed Katherine has a new blue tweed coat which is really becoming!
 Isobel has a very attractive brown suit which she wears with a yellow blouse, it's really cute.
 Margaret Rose has a new cotton school dress which is quite cute. Aw- fully fresh and summer-looking
 Rhoda and Jean have some cute wedgie spectator pumps. They have these new wooden soles on them.
 Georgina has a new powder blue coat which We noticed first at the Junior-Senior banquet. It's really got what it takes!

EDITORIAL

Being that our last chance to ap- pear for our reading public has ar rived, We have decided to make this issue of the Wangell Hi Lines bigger and better than before.
 During the year We know We have probably bored many of you with some of our eorny humors and we wish to apologize to you for this. We hope that in the future you will not hold it against the under class men who will be probably doing just as poor a job as we have
 We realize that during the pass ing school year We have presented very little news, as far as news goes but we also believe our gossip col umn has been. on the average. pretty good! (We have to give a little ere dit to the rats who really do work hard, poor thingsD
 To those who have made up the mud for us to sling, we wish to thank you!! To those who we have "unknOwingly" slammed or criticized we wish to apologize, and We know you will forgive us!!! To the censor, who really saved our lives. we send our thanks! And to the editor of the nWrangell Sentinel" who is so nice about printing our -! We thank you.
 Now that the time has come for the old Alma Mater to put it's books upon the shelf and close it's doors for the summer. I'm sure that all the students will miss iti!. The fam liar ringing of the old faithful a. larm clock at about fifteen minutes to nine every morning; then that exhausting run to school, arriving just before the last bell rings! Oh. yes we'll really miss it!
 For some the end of their school years has come A few will go on to college, the army, and the rest will go out into the world to look life in the face It's not going to be easy for them In these trying times they will meet many difficulties and dis appointments. They will at some time look back on their old school days, and will realize that those were the most carefree days of their lives. That the little things are the things that really count in life.
 But for those who will be coming back next year the old school will again take life and carry on as it has in previous years, and with the coming year We hope fate will find us nearer to the end of this war, and to complete victory.
