SENIOR CLASS HISTORY We, the class of '45, entered Washington High School September 8, 1941, to begin our high school careers. As the result of our freshman election our officers for the year were: Delbert Brandenburg, Presidentg Janice Murray, Vice Presidentg Dave Bonnie, Secretary, and Ruth Long, Treasurer. The class advisor was Mrs. Margaret Schneider Bailey. During the year our class was well represented in sports, social functions, scholastic and extra curricular activities. Our freshman year was brought to a climax with a picnic at Hal Summer's cottage. In the fall of '42 back we came to continue our studies. T'his year we found Our- selves under the guidance of Miss Kathleen Davis, class advisor, who was assisted by the class officersg President, Delbert Brandenburgg Vice President, Ruth Ann Longg Secretary, Ruth Adamsg and Treasurer, Bill Curry. It was during this year that we came fully to the realization that we were in World War II, and we resolved to do our best on the home front. As in our freshman year, we participated in all the school activities. We had three girls in the triple trio, and all the winners in an essay contest sponsored by the Ladies Auxiliary of the V. W. F. were sophomores. In the magazine drive we came out last, but we resolved to do better another year. The last activity of the year was the sophomore picnic held, due to weather conditions, in the gym. As we entered our Junior year in September 1943, we felt like old timers at W. H. S. This year our class officers were: Ruth Adams, President, Hal Summers, Vice Presidentg Jo Ann Pope, Secretary, and Jim Boylan, Treasurer. The advisor was Miss Gladys Melson. During the year we regretted to see several boys leave the class for the Armed Services. As before we lent our efforts to sports, social, scholastic, and extra curricular activi- ties. In the dramatic field the outstanding accomplishment was the Junior Play, Pride and Prejudice. In the spring of the year we were hosts to the seniors at the Junior-Senior Prom. When the National Honor Society initiated several of our class members into its ranks we were well pleased. As the senior class moved on we Juniors took over the responsibility of keeping up the Service Flag. We left school that year sorry that We had only one more year before our high school days would be past history. On September 5, 1944, the class of '45 saw the last stretch of high school before it. A primary election held on September 15 and the general election held September 19 resulted in these officers being elected: Barton Montgomery, Prcsidentg Richard Babb, Vice President, Beverly Long, Secretary, and Jean Evelyn Burke, Treasurer. The class advisor for the year was Mr. Karl Kay. Also at the general election the class voted to try to complete the memorial organ project. Our main objective was to purchase War
