H., ,,,M,W VT. . , Class History With heads high and a strictly scholastic determination, the class of 1944 entered the doors of our Alma Mater as freshies. We were just a little strange but we man- aged to get along. Harry Szynski was elected to lead us through our first big year, assisted by Lois Darbee, Lois Fuller, and Charles Greve. Freshman Night was held on October 21, 1941 and deep in every heart a feeling of pride covered the outer layer of bashfulness and fright. Twenty boys and girls took part in our play The Americans presented that memorable night. The play was more or less a patriotic pageant appro- priate because of the national and international conditions as they were at the time. Time passed quickly after Freshman Night and it was very soon that Regents approached and we discovered we were no longer greenies -but full fledged Sophomores. We began our second year by electing Harry Szynski to lead us again and Carol Pfleeger, Betty Schmatz, and Richard Eden to act as his assistants. The first half of our year went by rapidly and just before the Christmas vacation we were told that our first social dancing party of our school career was to be held on February ll, l942. We voted for an open party. As the result, members of every class enjoyed themselves with us dancing or playing various games. On May 29, we Sophomores joined with the Band and presented a Memorial Day Assembly. We did not present a class play that year because due to war conditions, peace plays that might have been of some point in another year, just were not suitable at that time. K Re-elected once more Harry Szynski became the head of our Iunior Class. Beatrice Brooks, Phyllis Centner, and Myron Bose were elected to assist him. By this time we really felt a part of the school. On February l2, 1943 our lunior Party was held amidst attractive Valentine decorations. The biggest surprise of the evening was Dolly Doke's Donut Program which was quite a success. The next month our class rings arrived and it was then that we really realized the largest part of our school career was almost over. With Be tolerant of others' ideas as the theme our Iunior Class play, Promote the General Welfare was presented May 7 at the Iunior Day Assembly. ln the fall of our senior year, Harry Szynski was chosen as our president for the fourth consecutive time. As his assistants Phyllis Centner, Beatrice Brooks, and Wil- liam Szczerbacki were chosen. Our English clubs and history clubs were organized shortly after this. On November 10, our Senior Party was held with an Armistice Day theme. lt was a closed affair so that the class as a group could have one final good time together. The next month our class undertook the successful project of selling magaz'nes to increase the amount in our class treasury. On February 18, the History League pro- gram was presented, on which occasion our class made its last appearance as a group before the entire student body. Shortly after this book goes to press, our senior play Letters to Lucerne written by Rotter and Vincent will be given. The cast is now re- hearsing at every available opportunity. The important senior events in May are the History League Banquet and the English Reception. The program for each of these is now being planned. In Iune, there will be our Class Night and Commencement. lt hardly seems possible that our four years are so nearly over. We have en- joyed school even though at some times we thought our tasks were difficult. But now when the end is so close, we know we shall miss our pleasant schoolmates and asso- ciations, but We shall always have pleasant Memories of them. Twenty-four
