THE HISTORY OF THE CLASS OF ’44 The high school life «i ike cu. «i 1944 has ended, only the memory lingers on. Four years ago we each strolled separately into Glen Cove High School, formed a group, and it became an active, living thing, the Class of 44. Now the group disbands, we each go forth separately into the world, to achieve success and master our talents. But let us not look to the future now, let us turn back the pages and briefly recall the history of the Class of 44. It was a bright and sunny day when our class took up the role of Freshmen. Nobody expected very much of us then, but suddenly there appeared a flash of light — the Freshmen started to become active in Band. Glee Club, Athletics. Tattler, and various other activities. It was the first hint that the forty-four ites possessed the qualities of leadership. June soon rolled round, examinations filled the calendar, vacation was heralded, and September 1942 found the Class of 44 acquiring the dignity of Sophomores. 1 he class returned to Glen Cove High School a much wiser and more efficient group after a successful freshman year. Juniors! The Class of 44 had arrived. The Junior Prom marked great importance on the campus. It was a great year — Glen Cove High had an exciting and winning basketball team. The high school spirit reached a peak, great enthusiasm was shown in all activities. We reached our conclusion, the Senior year. The Class of 44 s football record was a glorious one. Winning acclaim from near and far the Covers proved one of New York State’s strongest teams. Yes, it was a glorious year; one that should be long remembered. The Senior Ball. The Senior Play, Bum s Day, the magazine drive, selling theatre tickets, all these added to the fun and spirit that demonstrated the calibre of the Class of 44.
