Seniors in the Service .Maybe you think we’ve forgotten you. no; as you are in our hearts, so shall you be in our yearbook. You who have given up your studies and the thrill of graduating to make it safe for us to graduate, shall surely be given the recognition that you deserve. A credit to the Navy is Seaman 2 c Warner Phillips, a very popular Senior and a member of the football team, Hi-Y, Thespians, and Lettermen’s Club. Private Donald R. Poling is now in the Air Corps. His pleasing personality and good natured ways won him many friends in school. You needn't worry about the war being very long since Johnny Miller joined the Air Corps. Corporal Miller was a very efficient stage manager and a member of the Thespians. His untiring efforts in bettering the stage won him the honor of “Best Thespian.” Clyde McDaniel is in the Navy now. In school, “Manuel” was a member of the Hi-Y and very popular among his class mates. When Eugene Stephenson left for the Navy there were many feminine hearts left behind. “Steve” was a member of the Lettermen’s Club and the football team. Smiley Murphy, that cute little Senior with the tooth-paste ad grin is also in the Navy. He never told anyone his real name. Our only clue is that it really isn't “Smiley.” After Dick Warne wins the war for us, he’s going to come back home and buy a motor boat. The Navy is giving him a lot of practice in “riding boats.” Dick was a member of the Hi-Y. Hand. Hoys' Glee Club. Thespians, and Re-Echo. Because Bill Russell was captain of our football team, his Uncle Sammy has chosen him to help the Navy to tackle the Japs. Bill was a member of the basketball team. Letter-men's Club. Re-Echo, and went to “Hoys' State” last summer. The Navy was certainly glad to get William Simmons. As in school, his friendly smile and happy disposition made everyone like him. ( ur loss was 1 ’ncle Sam's gain in the person of Ronald Bartlett. “Ronnie’s” untiring efforts won him the award of best actor in ]!I44 and in addition, his membership in the Thespians and Hi-Y kept him very busy. These boys are missed. They have given up the peace and comfort of home to defend their country. They are determined to help end this horrible war so that they may come home to tin ones who are hoping and praying for their safe return. No, boys, we won't forget you; we are proud of you and realize what you are doing for us and our posterity. For you, we will continue to pray and trust in God to keep you safe. nineteen
