SENIOR.HISTORY way back in '40 when the Class of '44 tiptoed timidly into the halls of Nogales High, they had no idea of what lay ahead of them. Oblivious of the future, our class, sponsored by Miss Luz, Mrs. Cameron, and Mr. Haddock, and with Alice Bennett, Ramon Baldanegro, and Colin Edmonson as homeroom presidents, threw their first school dance which was, of course, a success. Dora Loera and Carmen del Muro took first and second in an American Legion essay contest. Betty Hall also won a post at second place on a Holsum Bakery essay. Colin Edmonson got a manager letter in basket ball, and Marian Kelly, Mary Ann Meyers, Dora Loera, and Adele Bracker were made members of the Junior Honor Society. The year ended with a super-picnic at Blue Haven. Still ignorant of the future, but supposedly learned scholastically, we entered our Sophomore year and immediately began plans for graduation, only three years offt Having given two successful dances, we bought the school a bond to mature in 1952. Frances Carroon was elected cheer- leader, Adele Bracker was again leading majorette, and Colin Edmonson was chosen basketball manager. Marion Kelly and Ramon Baldanegro were our two homeroom presidents. Then a hint of the future was finally dropped when Norman Meek left to join the Navy. In our Junior year it came. The President of the United States to the class of 1944, GREETINGS!! So many members of our class were leaving for the Armed Forces that we started something new by having our Prom in December. when Miss Luz left to teach in Tucson, she was succeded as sponsor by Mr. Clark. Our athletic Juniors were Ramon Baldanegro, Eddie Johnson, and George Gotsis. Marian Kelly was elected to the Adobe Court and was again chosen class president. Frances Carroon was re-elected cheerleader. Mary parts in the Xmas panist. Our class joining that corps Cantata and Patricia Sisk was chosen Glee was the first to give a girl to the WAC, after leaving school in her Junior year to As we entered our Senior year, the draft board continued class of it's erstwhile abundance of manpower.

Ramon Baldanegro, Bill Crydermann, Humberto Gonzales,George Gotsis, Colin Edmonson and Rudy Grijalva were active in athletics, and Bonnie Harrison was elected cheerleader. Humberto Gonzalez was elected Student Body President and Rudy Grijalva, another Senior, was made Vice-President. Sponsored by Mr. Clark and Mr. Elliott, and headed by Colin Edmonson as president, the rapidly decreasing Senior Class gave two successful dances the second one being a Leap-Year Tacky Dance which was a tremendous success. Then we were told that most of us were going to be able to leave Nogales, High. we wanted to, and yet were more than a little sorry to go. So, with this impressive history behind us, we leave the friendly security of N. H. S. and enter the cold, cruel world to see if we can make as good a name for ourselves as we have during our unforgettable career in Nogales High School. -17-
