enior lass istory ALBERT MACHOLS President JOHN FAGAN Vice-president BEVERLY FOSTER Secretary MARIAN CRNKOVICH Treasurer june - ln a few weeks l graduate - seems just before she had the chance to fulfill her threat hardly possible that l am about to leave l.e Roy High School. lYas it really four years ago that the Cole Circus came to the school gymnasium and in a banana eating contest a member of the Freshman Class ate a banana before the other contestant. a monkey. even had his peeled? Top floor saw the Class of '45 that year - we were the first lfrosh to rate the honor. Our executive group consisted of john Fagan, john lianaley, Mary Cravotta and Gerard Green. advised by Miss Morrison and Mr. Burton. The basketball candy sales, under the management of jerry flreen, supplied our first source of income. 'lYay back in 1943 we Sophs started the slogan A jeep by j unem. l guess the slogan must have injected quite an amount of patriotism into the school because by june we purchased not one, but two jeeps. Our treasury increased with the pro- ceeds trom the ice cream and soft drink sales during the basketball season. That was the year we combined our efforts with the Freshmen to give a Valentine Dance. which proved quite suc- cessful not only financially but socially. lYill I ever forget the Sophomore Speaking Contest? Despite weeks and weeks of practice our nervous- ness was evident by the tremor of everyonels knees. Muriel Nixon and Carl lflutchinson took the honors of the evening. As advisors that year lllrs. lialmer and Mr. Cole worked with our officers: jolm Fagan, Arthur Baube, Sam Pala- dino and Gerard Green. Heading the list of my junior memories is the troublesome term paper which was due directly following Easter vacation. l'oor Miss DeYoe was almost frantic with worry as to whether we would come through. Much to her surprise we did M -- si-5 18 lf' of failing us all. lt seemed as though our good fortune had left us when the junior Prom de- creased, not increased, the balance of our treasury. The Seniors thought this a rare joke. lYe returned the laugh with our overwhelming success at the jitterbug Contest and the junior lfrolic square dance. XYe were game to try our luck in public speaking again, This time Ellen Skinner won top honors in the Larkin Speaking Contest. The junior Class had as ofiicers. Carl Hutchinson. liermit Arrington, Barbara Beadle and Sylvia Hayward, with Miss DeX'oe and Mr. Smith the advisors. Our school was represented at liirl's State by Barbara Beadle and joyce Graham and at l3oy's State by Albert Machols. .-Xt last we became the upper classmen-Seniors -to have custody of Room 26. The Senior maga- zine campaign was a success for us-so much so that we were given an ice cream party by one of the companies and a number of pounds of candy by the other. Yum! l The newly organized t J-at-kan staff started their career by sponsoring a Sadie Hawkins Dance at which the accepted fashion was jeans and plaid shirts. We were rather skeptical at first as to the outcome of the Senior Ball since only one ticket had been sold before Spring vacation. Nevertheless, on the evening of April oth many Seniors and guests danced around the wishing well in our elaborate crepe paper pavilion. These last months have certainly found my class busily engaged in catch- ing up loose ends, cramming for exams and rush- ing around with a few extra plans to carry out before graduation. The last time the Class of '45 will appear together will be when we receive our diplomas on june 25th. F'
