Class of June 1945 MOTTO: The past is only a means to make a better future. COLORS: Fuchsia and chartreuse. Yesterday, we learned; today, we are mastering; tomorrow, we shall lead. The June class of 1945 leaves Des Moines Technical school to ex¬ plore a large world—to establish and preserve for themselves names which they will be proud to wear. There is no place for fear in their future. Each one has been technically trained in his or her vocation to fill an important position in these crucial times. The class is represented in the Armed Forces on every battlefront of this war. Members who have gone, and those now graduating, are destined to play a decisive role in the establishment of the lasting peace they covet for the whole world. At the first senior class meeting, the following class officers were elected: R. M. Travis, president; Elton Mann, vice president; Betty Taylor, secretary; Darlene Ramus, treasurer; Winifred Carlson, histo¬ rian; Gloria Richards and Bonnie Bernholtz, members of the executive committee. The senior prom was held April 14 in the school auditorium, dec¬ orated to represent a garden. Senior A‘s invited Senior B’s and each person was privileged to bring one guest. Punch was served and the evening was spent dancing to the music of “Tex Walker and his band. Highlighting the picnic at Pioneer Park on May 18 were a baseball game and a hike through the woods. Several members of the class and the principal spoke to the group at the senior banguet held June 1 at Younkers ' Tea Room. Decorations were in the class colors of fuchsia and chartreuse. The Rev. Wm. A. Knight delivered the sermon to graduates at the baccalaureate service Sunday, June 3, and Mr. Arthur Brayton brought the commencement message June 7. And thus another distinguished group of seniors had the privilege of adding their names as graduates of Des Moines Technical High.
