SENIOR CLASS OFFICERS Who are our guides through the Enchanted Forest? No one but our class officers. These hard working people show by the way they handle class affairs that they deserve the confidence of their classmates. Howie Greis, who stands out in any crowd, is boss. He works twice as hard on class business as anyone else in the group. Bob Gerth is our second in command. Whenever Howie isn’t able to be present (which isn't very often), Bob takes over. As the fellow who has charge of dragging dues from reluctant seniors, we have Tony Sisti. Even with this job, he still remains a popular fellow. Last but not least is Bill Meagher, who is the brave soul who tries to take the minutes at class meetings. With all the talkers in our group, he surely has a job. These officers, together with our Student Senate representatives, have successfully managed class interests through our final days in the Enchanted Forest. ROW 1—Left to Right Rcndall, Doherty, Meagher, Jung, Geery, E. Pitt, J. Decker. ROW 2 Sisti, Greis, Gerth, Rappaport. THE SENIOR CLASS HISTORY Remember, class of '45, the happy days we have spent together. We’ve had fun ever since our first exciting day in the woods of kindergarten. We played games and learned facts, such as the names of colors. How we looked up to the people who inhabited the Enchanted Forest! To us they seemed to be eight feet tall. In the grades at Rhame and Center Avenues, we gradually learned how to read and write. Some of cur teachers, though admitting we learned this once, think that we’ve since forgotten how. Then just imagine; we were entering the outskirts of the Enchanted Forest. We entered junior high school as members of the seventh grade. How proud we were! Also, we must admit, we were a little frightened. We became used to new surroundings. Soon seventh grade was finished. Eighth grade, where we helped those tiny seventh graders through their first fright, passed swiftly. Freshmen then, we elected class officers. We had the thrilling privilege of paying class dues. We tried working together for Rock Rivalry. Despite great cooperation, we lost. In our sophomore year, we were grown up enough to go to Senior High assemblies. We sat in the chairs, not on the sidelines, in general assemblies. That year—oh, calamity! — we came in last in Rock Rivalry again. In our junior year, we were angry. We worked hard on Rock Rivalry and won. Then, very near examination time, we had our Junior Prom. Now, at last we are seniors who know the inmost secrets of the Enchanted Forest. We produce a Senior Play. Again we work on Rock Rivalry and win. We present a show to raise money. We say good-bye to some of the boys who go to serve our country. Enriched by our travels through the Enchanted Forest, we leave it to take our place in the sun. 29
