Class of '45 A wonderful senior year started off with a weiner roast in September in Tony Cunha's grove. When the hilarity around the camp fire had died down, the girls gathered at Brown's for a slumber party. In the morning Mrs. Brown and Barbara served a delicious waffle breakfast for the class. Class officers for 1944-45 were: President ................... Mildred Penney Vice-President ................. Janey Center Secretary-Treasurer .......... Shirley Coleman Advisor .......................... Mr. Center Our first attempt at making money was a food sale and lunch in the church basement. Chicken and noodles was the main dish. On Valentine's Day the seniors bought ice cream and cake to treat the student body. The senior class spent a delightful week-end at (censored) from (censored) to (censored), 1945. Baccalaureate was held in the Echo Methodist Church on Sunday, May 6. The seniors came down the aisle wearing suits of every shade and style. Finally the great night arrived. On May 11, ten girls in pastel formals, and two boys in suits marched up the sidewalk, around the fountain, to their places on the school lawn. Janey Center gave the salutatory address and Mary Lois Cotton, the valedictory. We were fortunate in having Dr. Roben Maaske, president of the Eastern Oregon College of Education at LaGrande, for the commencement address.
