SENIOR CLASS HISTORY Looking at the class of 1945 as it appears today, one finds it rather hard to go way back to the day when this same group were freshmen. They started out about 80 in number, shy and green as any freshman class. The outstanding events in this year were the party at Lomax's lagoon in which Wally rather rushed the season by going swimming: a party in the old gym. with games and refreshments: the Ninth Grade Glee Christmas Program.” and last, but not least, graduation from Junior High. Diplomas were presented and Jackie Carothers made the welcoming speech. The officers were as follows: President. David Crouch: Vice-President. Jeanne Adams: Secretary, Ann Lomax: Treasurer, Donna Lee Heskett. Considerably wiser but still lacking dignity, the class began their second year of high school. There were two outstanding events during this year that are especially remembered— one with pride, the other—well, we shall pass it off as just being too young. The first was the opera. Sweethearts.” an all school production. If you saw it you probably remember it clearly and if yoti didn’t happen to be present at the time you probably know everything about it just from hearing it spoken of so much. The latter was a dance at the close of the year. One doesn’t hear very much about that except that all classes were forbidden parties or dances for quite some time. An all school Cavalcade of America was presented that year by the music department. Another picnic was enjoyed by the class, this time at Switzers’ grove. Sponsors were Miss Ray and Mr. Kasper, and officers were Bob Chase, President: Phil Gardner. Vice-President: Allan Brewer. Treasurer: Jeanne Adams. Secretary. The class began their Junior year with a spirit of enthusiasm, under the sponsorship of Miss Helen Scheve and with the following officers at the helm: President. Tom Dewey: Vice-President. Allan Brewer: Secretary. Jackie Carothers: Treasurer. Phil Gardner: Sergeant-at-Arms. David Crouch. At the beginning of December they staged their Junior Class play, Don’t Take My Penny. with favorable comments pouring in from all sides and pennies jingling in their pockets. In the spring, plans began for the Junior-Senior banquet and when the day arrived the Junior and Senior classes witnessed the glorious panorama of one of the greatest circuses in Broken Bow History. Carried out with unusual smoothness, the banquet was a huge success. The Junior-Senior Prom topped off the evening. Climaxing this year was the picnic at New Helena. In spite of the bus breaking down and. as a result, a walk of a mile and a half, the class parted with the remembrance of this hilarious time to return in the fall as Seniors. After some weeks of enjoying their Senior prestige, the members of the class. 65 in number, settled down with a determination to work hard and get those credits. Miss Helen Scheve was again made class sponsor. Well represented in all extra curricular activities, the Seniors gained distinction for themselves in many fields. When the annual goes to press we shall have lost three boys to the armed services and with the exception of those who may leave later, the graduating class will number 64. We have enjoyed our school years in Broken Bow and as we leave, we carry with us many memories— memories that will live with us always. DORIS I.HH WELLS College Prep Then she will talk! Yc Gods!
