Now that career has come to a close, and though there are only thirty-four of us left, we feel that we have done justice to all our superiors, who have so willingly tried to make this time both fruitful and enjoyable. As we stand back and review our history, we see the biggest imprint was left on society in our Senior year. In close co-opera- tion with Miss Wilsberg, Kenneth Zimmerman, president: Maxine Yarger, vice-president: Frances Beerbower, secretary: and R i c h a r d Paul Green, treasurer: have tried to make these Senior events T is the' Stgfy gf -the carnival, the Farm Bureau banquet, stands at Citlzens the basketball games, the senior play, and this An- nual-our gift to the com- munity-add up to fun and fellowship with our co-workers. Now, as the graduating class of 1945, We leave this, our Alma Mater. Our hearts are heavy, but with heads held high and a staunch determination to make this world a better one in which to live, we march on to the final vic- tory.
