go, QF ,ll Q 4 CD E. O 'Y .CT U7 U7 :E U7 1-4- O 'T iXVe of the class of nineteen hundred and forty-live are now faced with the realization that we are about to take on the responsibility of helping to rebuild a world utterly devastated by war. This will certainly be no easy task, but we are sure that through the cooperation of all and the grace of God it will be accomplished. Many of our places in the world of tomorrow will be small and unnoticed, but it will be only through the combined forces of all that a lasting peace will be secured. From our class have gone many of our best friends, and all that we now have of them are memories. VVe are very proud of those who have gone from our midst to defend this great nation. ln the service of our country from the class are: Jack E. Barnes, Donald Rager, Millard Stull, Earl Collins, Cloyd Spigelmeyer, VVillis Breon, Robert Rutherford, and James Dalby. To all of these boys, yes, to all of America's service men, we say, May God bless you and keep you safe from harm, so that you may all return to those you love. VVhen we began our Freshmen year, we were one hundred thirty-three strong. In the dim, distant future We saw our greatest ideal, graduation, placed high on the mountain of education. We realized that it would take much work to climb the seemingly difficult mountain of learning. Now that we have reached that which we sought, it is a simple path, rather than an impassable cliff. During our four years in high school, we have come to find companion- ship in our teachers, and We will ever hold dear our school days under their supervision. The teachers have given us something that no one can take from us, whether we are rich or poor. We shall always have our education. Many of our teachers have been called to the service of this great country and have been replaced. Among the teachers who have instructed us in the past and have since been replaced are: Prof. Vlfalter M. Hollis, Mr. Karl VV. Stade, Mr. and Mrs. William Whitley, Mr. Philip Daubert, Mr. John Miller, Mr. Gerald VVoomer, Mrs. Marion H. Kunsman, Mr. Richard B. Shade, Mr. Wfilliam Edgar Artman, Mr. Ira C. Sassaman, Mrs. John Fagan, and Mr. Orvin W. Troy. Those who have replaced them are: Miss Betty Stine, Miss Sarah K. Richards, Mrs. Elsie Rodgers, Mr. Merrill M. Wagner, Mrs. Donald Kester, and Mrs. Ralph Miller. Through all of these changes, several of our teachers remained with us. Mr. J. VVillia1n Riden, Principal, Mr. David L. Swartz, Supervising Prin- cipalg Miss Luella Nafzinger, Mrs. Harold Kerchner, Miss Clara Stayner, and Miss Dorcas Fick. L'HlSTOlRE Page Twenty-four

Through their untiring ehforts, both of these productions were very successful. Q All of our daysvin this, our last year of school. have been busy ones. As the time for graduation grew near, we became busier. Wfe did not mind it, for a busy person is a happy person. Parting from school after these twelve years is rather sad to us all. XVC will part and go to the many walks of life. Through these past years- we have been equipped so that we may meet the luture with joy and bravery in our hearts. But there will always be a place in our hearts that belongs to our dear Alma Mater. And so we of the class of nineteen hundred and forty-live say goodbye --forever. QZD L'HISTOlRE Page Twenty-five
