SENIOR CLASS PROPHECY lCantinued from page 77l Listen to this! Betty Jo Thornton, well-known artist, has been given a one-year contract by the Lose More Reducing School headed by co-partners Billie Jo Addington and Mildred Jenkins. Her dutiets are to draw advertising posters for the institution. Betty Jean Sessions has also bg hired as a model pupil. Jackie Harper, famous beautician, arrived at New York's Terry Beauty Shop, operated by Josephine Terry. Betty Rogers, cashier at the shop, informed reporters that Miss Harper planned to give a course in the latest hair-dos. These articles should supply today's edition with an abundance of worthwhile news to those'concerned with the interest of the hopefuls from the graduating class of l945. P. S. Any similarity between this prophecy and the individual characteristics of the parties named, living or dead, is purely coincidental and no responsibilities shall be attached to the author thereof. -JAMES H. COOLEY, Class Prophet. SENIOR CLASS HISTORY lCantinued from page 2Ol Seniors at last! The reflected glory in which we basked as underclassmen, paled with the strain of our harder studies and extra work toward graduating. More and more of our farmer students left for the amed faces. More af you from our class of '45 were taken for service to our country. Of the II5 who started in our class we have dwindled to fifty-nine candidates fcr graduation. We feel o great pride and satisfaction in having been a part of the life of Red Bank High School, while our various clubs and organizations have grown in number and service in the past four years. We wish so much that all of you who are now fighting to preserve our institutions and principles, lmoral, educational, civil, or spiritual as they may bei, could be with us today as we view our progress. Only one maior catastrophe tnars our steady climb upward. Some of you boys have not been told of the fire on November 6, I944, when the annex building was destroyed, fortunately without loss of life, but with the loss of our cafeteria, chemistry laboratory, typing room, and manual arts department, In spite of this loss and the resultant crowding of classes and lack of a few facilities we still go forward. Qur school has earned a place among the state's best. We have taken more and miore honqpg. ,Our band and maiorettes with the drill squad are considered in the tap cket for? smart appearance and performance. Our scholastic averages are high, a athletics strong and clean, and our faculty of the best. We, thnclass of '45, look forward naw to graduation with the purpose of carrying on our school's honor and traditions. We are regretful of only this-that you boys are not here with us. Nevertheless, you too, are carrying an in the high character toward which our school has helped contribute. Thus we all say, Hail and Farewell, Red Bank High School from the class of '45. -MADGE RAMSEY, Class Historian. ir if 'lr 'A' ir 'A' ir i' Page 78
