Class Adviser- M R GILSON President- Vice-President- BOB BRUEGGER ROLAND YOUNG Secretary- Treasurer- CHARLOTTE RASMUSSEN HAROLD SCHLICHTING Accompanied by the usual confusion and bewilderment, we, the Seniors, class of June '44, first set foot in the halls of Eastern three long years ago. Not only did we survive our first year creditably, but many of us actually enjoyed it. No doubt the Sophomore Mixers aided no little in this last. Sparked by the ready wit of our first president, Don Sherman, we were fairly well prepared to begin our second year of High School. The advent of a new year brought us a new president, Bob Bruegger, who was to remain as prexy for the remainder of our stay at Eastern. Our Junior A semester saw the production of our zoot J-Hop, Harlem Nocturne, under the direction, no less, of Don Sherman. Two years of patient waiting now brought their reward, entrance into our Senior year, with the dignity and poise we thought all seniors possessed conspicuous by its absence. Our Senior B semester passed almost before we knew it, with the Senior B play, Every Family Has One, as its highlight. With our last term ushering in the grand confusion that is graduation, we were up to our necks in name cards, announce- ments, caps and gowns, diplomas and, for a change, a little actual work. Looking forward to our Prom, 'Till We Meet Again, we view graduation with mingled relief and regret, for after all we have had a lot of fun here.
