Seniors 1944 Sponsor — Miss Marjory Rea President — Wiley Barrington Vice-President — Robert Leisner Secretary — Bernice Rogers Treasurer — Sue Roberts Senior (a SJ J i oem We’re the Senior class of ’44 We’ve had our fun, can we ask for more? Our work was hard, that is true; We’ve received our knowledge, and now we’re through. Through, seems hard for us to say, But there’ll be others to leave next May, And to that class, the best of luck, So do your duty and never duck. To our school you must be loyal, Respect our teachers, and our colors royal, Also our motto, which we’re proud to say Non Progredi est Regredi. And to this class we leave a toast, Love our school and always boast, For we must leave; it couldn’t last, We’ll face the future, but remember the past. Now we hate to have to go, But there’s nothing else, that you know; So we’ll try hard not to cry, Just breathe a sigh, sand say goodbye. ALICE MONTIETH.
