Students Today Htizens Tomorrow. . . In September, 1941, a group of students entered George Rogers Clark High School as freshmen and assumed the title, Class of 1945.” Graduation certainly seemed a long way off, but the time flew by al! too rapidly. Yes, the Class of ’45 reached the end of four years of fun and friendships, and was graduated prepared to face the future. Four years cannot be dismissed, however, without remembering the many activities that made life at school so busy and interesting. One of the most valuable assets the freshies” had to get them off to a good start was their sponsor, Mr. Paul Wilkinson. Also their choice of officers helped them to a glorious beginning. They elected Norbert Adams, president; Karl Kasch, vice president; Dorothy Studa- baker, secretary; and Tony Wirtz, treasurer. Speech and dramatic work were given revived prominence at Clark due to the accomplishments of participating freshmen. Neal Creswell won special honors by being named state winner in humorous reading.
