Qlass Cgzophecy Strike up the music! The banquet has begun! Yes, the Alumni Banquet of 1955 is off with a bang. As We look around, our eyes fall on a red, white and blue decorated table representing the Class of '45. Acting as Mistress of Ceremonies is faithful Miss Trull looking over her brood of ten chicks. At her right hand sits Murdick Levangie, the solo violinist of the Philharmonic Symphony Orchestra. In the next place we see Miss Norma Swain, the Assistant Editor of the Good Housekeeping Magazine. Sl 1 won this position as the result of her experience while Editor of the Yearbook. Here is another person a long way from her Workg we mean Miss Loretta Eveleigh, secretary in Washington. She started work- ing in the fall of 1945. The rest of our little group keep the home fires burning. Arlene Gardner is head bank teller at the Sackets Harbor National Bank. The present campaign for a modern hospital in Sackets is under the direction of Aileen Griffin, R. N. Mary Scahill has a prosperous beauty shop in Watertown that compares with any of the shops in New York and Boston where she studied. Donal McAnulty, one of Miss Trull's favorite Latin students, operates the one and only McAnulty Funeral Chapel of Sackets Harbor. Robert Graves, our rolling stone, is still roaming around trying to find an easy job. CI wish to mention here that he usually finds the job.J Janet Rogers, a graduate of Canton Agriculture and Technical Insti- tute, is now serving as dietician in the Mercy Hospital. Betty Jean Root is supervisor of the Music Department in the Watertown Public Schools. As the banquet comes to an end, we all agree that our classmates have reached fair goals in life. We hope to have another reunion of the class in a few years. 9

Glass gasfory Our class has had a more or less uneventful history. In 1932 we entered the First Grade under the direction of Miss Getman. There were six of the present members of the class of 1945: Aileen Griflin, Murdick Levangie, Donal McAnulty, Betty Root, Norma Swain and Jack Zuzula. Mrs. Margaret Houston Meng taught our Second Grade and Miss Regina Walrath, the Third. The Fourth Grade found us very studious under the supervision of Mrs. Martha Miller Stratton. The next year We entered Fifth Grade and were the first class to be taught by Mrs. Marian Crouch Knowlton. At the beginning of the Sixth Grade the school was centralized and several new students joined our class. Among these were: Vernon Cook, Loretta Eveleigh, Francis Mitchell, Janet Rogers, Joe Tanner and Kenneth Thomas. How proud we were when we were able to go upstairs into the Seventh Grade! Arlene Gardner came that year. We remained in the same room during our Eighth Grade, since the Class of '44 was so large that it could not be accommodated in the Study Hall, but we received quite a thrill from being able to sit in the Study Hall during our study periods. That year Bob Graves joined our class. In 1941 we entered high school as Freshmen. Miss Trull became our Class Advisor. For our Class Motto we selected AMERICA FIRST and for our flower, the White carnation. That year at a dance sponsored by us we rafiied a fruit cake, made by the Homemaking Class. In our sophomore year we conducted a Bond raffle which was a great success. During our Junior year Mary Scahill joined us. In spite of the war and the scarcity of men our Junior Prom was 'most enjoyable and was successful financially as well as socially. The first part of our Senior year was spent in earning money to pay for our trip to New York-our goal throughout high school. We conducted a Hallowe'en dance and a St. Patrick's dance as Well as a turkey raffle, a seed sale and a tag day. We had such a good time on our trip to New York that we all agreed that it was well worth all the effort we had put into earning the money to finance it. During our Junior and Senior years Edith Saltzman and Beverly Winchell left us and five of our members-James Bagley, Leon Brown, Anthony Piazza, Ernest Villeneuve and Jack Zuzula entered the service. Our high school career ended with Class Day in May when we distributed the Niahoure after the program, and with the Commencement exercises on June 25th, at which Vadeboncoeur, a well-known news commentator, de- livered the Commencement address. 8
