As has been the custom in the past, every gradu- ating class wishes to take something along with them, to recall the memories of the happiest times of their lives, so we, the Class of 1945, so desiring the same, have published this book to bring back our last four years in school. We have come a long way in life. It seems that just yesterday we entered high school. The 1945 will our our our and Yearbook, which all the members of the class long treasure, has been Hlled with the doings of class from the start of our Freshman year to last day when we finally broke open the seal of Will and declared to the public our last Will Testament. This book is dedicated to Mr. Gittens, who represents the line teachers we possessed While attending our beloved school, Kingston High. Because of the shortage of paper, the book had to be made smaller and thus, more articles had to be squeezed on fewer pages. Special mention should be given our boys in the service. Some of these boys have left quite awhile ago, feeling that their country needed them, others have left in the last few months of their senior year. We don't want ever to forget these boys who are giving so much.

MR. JOHN GITTENS The Senior Class of 1945 has dedicated this Kingstonian to another Kingstonian, Mr. John Gittens. Mr. Gittcns has been a teacher in Kingston High School for eleven years and has enjoyed every moment of it. In this sequence of time, his teaching has covered a wide field, but to the students he is known as a physics teacher. He graduated from Kingston High School in 1924, later attending Bucknell University at Lewisburg, Penna. There he received his Bachelor of Arts degree, majoring in chemistry and mathematics. When World War H began, he did his bit. First by teaching the Air Cadets along with his regular teaching here in Kingston High School. Later, he became a member of the United States Navy. While in a difficult branch of the Navy, he was one of the outstanding sailors in his company. But due to an unfortunate mishap, he received injuries which later caused his honorable discharge. After his discharge he once again took over his teaching duties here at Kingston. Mr. Gittens, a man of tolerance and understanding, has always been ready to lend advice to any student who was ever in doubt. The departing class of 1945 leaves hoping that he will have as much success in the future as he has had in the past.
