jja+tuG Uf, SenioAA. Valedictorian, Eleanor Hines; Salutatorian, Carrie Ann Olson Since the members of the January 1945 graduating class fee! that the classroom knowledge, the experience of working with others in school activities, and the social good times they have had at Southwest have been valuable training for their future work, they have chosen for their class theme, “A Foothold in the Future.’’ One of the most enjoyable senior experiences is rehearsing and presenting a class play. In “You Can't Take It with You, Eleanor Hines and Wesley Pidcock had the leading roles. It looked like fun for Jimmy Brooks and Janet Youngdahl to supply the romantic interest. Profits from the play went to purchase a practical class memorial in the form of new football uniforms and lights for the stage. Because the class was conveniently small, many riotous class parties were held. Class Day at the Y.W.C.A. was spent in dancing, bowling, and games. Members of the graduating class whose pictures do not appear arc LaRcnc Dresscl, Arthur MacDowcl, anil Charles Sell. HONOR ROM.
