SENIORS A year to remember . . . the senior class has heard that phrase scores of times throughout the past few months, and suddenly the full meaning of these four words has become a banner by which they will judge their future lives. The war cloud naturally dominated senior life but the will for education and fun survived. The boys with the silver wings on their coat lapels had a new gleam in their eyes and a new challenge to the future in their hearts. V-5 and V-12 examinations played a major part in the lives of the Navy seekers while still others made plans for the Marines and Coast Guard. The girls, not to be outdone, helped at the Ration Board, toolc machine shop for defense training, and thought about service in a woman's branch of some U. S. force. Yet others had visions of being nurses in white, secretaries, and the usual run of feminine ambitions. Social activities consisted of Girls’ Club functions, club-sponsored dances, and various sporting events. Red letter dates on any would-be graduate's calendar were the Junior-Senior Prom, Senior Day, and Commencement. All clubs and organizations were under the leadership of senior students, but they excelled in journalism and acting. Their scholastic ability was high and musical ability was very evident.
