Commencement will end all affiliations with high school days. Each will commence on his way of life for the long or short days ahead of him. High school days will very shortly become only a part of the passing past that has meant so much to you. You, as graduates of Clairton High School, class of '45, and similar graduates of other schools, have known nothing but war throughout high school days. Your future will be far from dull, for so much lies ahead of you. The finishing of the war and the establishing of the peace are your greatest tasks. Go out and meet them with your finest weapon-education. This is your' challenge! First Senior Group to Leave for the Service Top row Cleft to righti Yurko.

Soon afterward, you grasped the fundamentals of the three R's. To you the most important line on the report card was headed deportment. At the end of the sixth grade, with the feeling that you were big shots, you were promoted to iunior high. Your head whirled to the tune of changing classes, new subiects, and new school activities. After a long awaited ninth grade you moved on to high school. Being wise fools fsophomoresi you kept your faces clean and your noses to the grindstone. Eleventh grade took you through the pains and woes that are extended to the juniors free of charge. - Finally your senior year arrived but the events, social and otherwise, kept you stepping high, wide, and handsome. Your sports have been the most out- standing in all fields. Crazy House, the happy-go-lucky farce, almost drove you nuts. Spring fever hit you hard, especially on the absentee sheets, getting you in the mood for the Spring Prom. Commencement brought the coveted diploma which represents the completion of so much work, well done. 26 ANN
