Lf A ,X 5' f' - xt fl' .x ' 'E President Senicvz. Gfadfl As the doors of T. T. H. S. close for the last time on the Class of 1945, we realize the responsibilities which lie before us, for our class is the first one to graduate from T. T. H. S. after spending all four years of high school with the nation at Warn We are ready to face the tasks of winning the war and securing the peace to come. We proved our ability in choosing from among our number capable leaders when we selected our officers for the year: Dick Stout, president, Varel Fraley, vice-presidentg Norma Rusher, secretary, and Henry Buckner, treasurer. During the Christmas vacation Dick enlisted in the navy. Though we were sorry to see him leave, we were also proud that our president should be among the first in enlisting for military service. We showed that we could take responsibility and work together by the funior-Senior prom we gave last year. This prom was said to have been the best in many years. Our co-operation in war bond activities has been notable, too. Many of our class members have participated on the varsity football and basketball teams as well as in the band. Still others have been essential members of the Pel-Mell and the Drift staffs. Many of our class have already harkened to the call of the colors. Of the l59 students that entered the building as freshmen four years ago, only lUU started this final year. That number has fallen a bit in the last two semesters. Those of us who will still be here to receive our diplomas on Commencement Day will go forward into the world, knowing that we will be ready, come what may. 18 XA-l-Ill LL!!
