THE SE IOR For us, the class of '45, this has truly been a year filled with portentous developments. ln these troubled times we are no longer able to pursue placidly our peacetime ambitions, to follow the footsteps of our predecessors by attending the college or university of our own choosing. Instead, we must follow the dictates of our conscience rather than those of our hearts. The war is our responsibility, and we do not entertain any false conceptions in respect to the test to which We will be put. Yet, it is with utmost confi- dence that we, the senior class, enter the future, for our training has been of the best quality. During our life at LPA, we all recognized the invaluable training which we were receiving and willingly accepting. VVhen we arrived at the senior level, we graciously accepted the responsibility of leadership afforded the senior class. As former juniors, we had anxiously awaited the time when we would be the school leaders, yet, upon attaining our leadership, we quietly but firmly realized our responsibilities.

The Student Council, under the wise leadership of Jim Nance, Worked as an eHicient governing body, giving due consideration to all requests and sug- gestions ofifered to the council for the betterment of the Caxyman's life. Among the numerous advantages provided by LFA for the student body is the opportunity of self-development. It is perhaps not until his senior year that a boy becomes fully conscious of this opportunity to dis- cover his own potentialities. He is given complete freedom to nourish his own interests through the extra-curricular activities which he under- takes. VVhatever diverse interests he may have, they can be developed through his choice of activities found at LFA. There are the various musical, debating, dramatic, and science clubs which give the student ample opportunity for pleasure and the display- ing of his talents. The Caxy and Sperlalor are excellent organizations in which a student may exhibit his writing ability. The senior class has recog- nized the values of extra-curricular activities and has realized the oppor- tunities which they aH'ord. The opportunity of physical development is another advantage which the senior class has eagerly accepted and greatly appreciated. From foot- ball to tennis, the student is given the chance to increase his coordination and athletic prowess. Wle have found in our life at LFA that athletics rank secondly only to our academic studies in relative importance. ln our maturity we have recognized the value of a harmonious relation- ship between students and faculty. Their understanding guidance has given us inspiration for the coming years. Especially would we like to thank Mr. Bowditch, for through our relationships with him we have felt the richness of his character and the ideals which he represents. And now, as we prepare to leave LFA, we give to the junior class our responsibilities and duties. May they enjoy the happiness that was ours, and carry on the traditions of Ad Viros Faciendos.
