... . . . W The Last Word 01044 af '45 CLASS HISTORY C Continued J Georgeanna Beaver: treasurer, Jim Stewart. Since this was our first year to have three from our class to represent us in the Student Council we really felt like privileged characters. After much contemplation the three capable boys whom we chose were Edward Duco, Joe jeswald, and joe Bernard. After much campaigning by each class to get their representatives in Stu- dent Council offices, we were very proud to have all three of ours elected-Joe Bernard, presi- dentg joe jeswald, vice presidentg and Edward Duco, secretary. This being our Junior year we had the concessions at football and basketball games. A small group of girls worked faithfully at every game selling hot dogs, pop, candy, and ice cream. However, our money making was not limited to this, for this was our Junior year and this was the year that we entertained the Seniors with a prom. The pencils sales continued, along with candy sales, skating parties, and the sale of Christmas cards. This, too, was the year to choose our class rings. As Mr. Narragon prophesied, there was plenty of material to make rings for all. We, naturally thought that ours were the prettiest that had ever been purchased by a class, and even some of the members of other classes agreed with us, for the three different colors of gold were quite attractive. Such an exciting school year we had never had. We started planning in February for our Class Play Ever Since Eve that was to be produced on March 24. Practically every member of the class helped on one of the committees, but the ones who were in the play were Helyne Spatholt, Shirley Holt, Lois jane Floding, Amelia Sullivan, jim Beilhart, joe Jeswald, Alvin Briden, Jim Stewart, and Edward Duco. Soon after the play was over we started to carry out plans for the junior-Senior Prom. Many of the junior girls had for quite some time been mysteriously vanishing every Hfth per- iod to none knew wheref' it was later learned that thousands of paper flowers had been made by them. Paint brushes and cans of paint were spied by those who were peeking. If anyone looked closely he could see spots of paint on arms, legs, and even faces of several of the girls. Benches were carried everywhere and Seniors were constantly meandering much too slowly through the corridor by the Manual Training room, where work was being done for the much looked forward ton occasion. The arrival of the big night showed the Seniors why the juniors had been working so hard and earning money so fast and furiously for three long years. The theme of the prom was an Old Fashioned Garden. The tables for the banquet were decorated with red roses and candles, with a red rose for his button-hole at the place of each boy, and a small old fashioned bouquet for each girl. Lattice work and flowers were cov- ering each wall of the gymnasium. A wishing well in a garden with white benches surrounded by lattice was in the middle of the gymnasium, and there was a big moon shining through the false ceiling. Everyone had a good time and the Juniors finally realized why the junior-Senior Prom was looked forward to with such great enthusiasm by everyone. We all found it rather saddening to see that the number in our class was diminishing so rapidly. This year we lost John Altomare, Paul Ritchie, Jean Lou Driscoll, Melvin Weikart, James Carter, Roy Booth, Robert Mathey, Richard Shimer, Joe Hollenshead, Ila Rutter, and Kathryn Sharp. In September of 1944 we came back for our last year of high school finding it almost un- believable that we were the Seniors-those we had always looked up to before. Those of our number whom we chose to lead us during the remainder of our stay in L. H. S. were: president, joe jeswaldg vice president, jim Beilhartg secretary, Wilma Fire: and treas- urer, Georgeanna Beaver. The Student Council Representatives remained the same as in our Junior year until Edward Duco was called into the service of his country, at which time Wilma Fire was elected to take his place. Since were going to try to have a year book we decided to keep the pencils to sell as means of a small income instead of selling them to the juniors. October 21 the class enjoyed a wiener roast at Mr. Meyer's farm. A junior-Senior Sweater Dance in the lyiusic Room was enjoyed very much by everyone
