PIRATAN STAFF Almost ©very member of the Class of 1945 has had some part in the editing the Piratan. It has really been a cooperative project. Although there have been difficulties due to war conditions, thanks to Mr. Stockton and Mr. Shade, we have overcome many obstacles. We hardly expected our teachers to survive after the taking of the faculty picture. The photographer came on the very worst day of the year. Due to the expert salesmanship of Patsy Kokenge and Don Throckmorton our sales were unusually high. Our class can not boast a large number of men but we are proud of our salesmanship (after Mr. Stockton gives us one of his pep talks.) Editor ...............

As you know Reno has many restful country ranches so Mr. Stockton decided to take a plane and fly there for a few quiet days but I'm not so sure they were quiet. Marilyn Pulse was the air hostess on the plane and she said her regular run was between New York and Reno. Well, anyhow, he then went to a very prominent ranch. Now, he thought, I'll get some rest, but Juanita McClain was there. She was getting her fourth divorce. Twice before I guess she had found a husband right there. After leaving Reno, Mr. Stockton went to San Francisco where he found Nila Miller struggling along with her Geometry. She is an engineer and has traveled a great many places. David Hadley was in San Francisco for a short vacation. He is the prominent Father oi Boys Town. Bob Snell is the warden of Alcatraz. He is really busy most of the time. Hollywood is full of the 1945 graduates. Kats Hokoda is a producer for RKO Studios. He is very prominent and very successful. Ruby Bledsoe is on the screen quite frequently. She is a stand-in for Joan Davis and Ray Roberts is Frankie Sinatra's successor while his wife, formerly Phyllis Howland, sits at home and nurses the twins. As the bathing beauty contest was not so long ago Mr. Stockton wondered who was Miss America. Well, she turned out to be none other than one of his students. She was Rosie Wehner. Betty Hall couldn t seem to be located so he asked Ruby where she was. It seemed she is a Chorine in Ziegfield Follies. Well, as Mr. Stockton was this far, why not go on to Los Angeles, and so he did. At the hotel where he stayed he ran into Jerry Stevens. She is waiting for Dick Jaechel to get a divorce so that she can marry him. He then went to the University of Los Angeles where Audra Mesarvey is a Home Economics Teacher. Mr. Stockton's next stop was in Florida at the Ringling Brothers Circus to see Helen Andrews. She is a very good acrobat on the flying trapeze. Now that he has seen most of them and knows where they all are, he is now back in West Carrollton, sometimes, I think, almost proud of that class that graduated with so few boys and so many girls.

FIRST ROW — M. Pfeiifer, D. Throckmorton, P. Shade. SECOND ROW — A. Treon, D. Moore, N. Brown. NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY In 1932, the West Carrollton Chapter of the National Honor Society was organized. Each year, those members of the graduating class who can meet the requirements of this organization are formally inducted in a high school assembly. The object of this society is, to create a desire for enthusiasm for scholarship, to stimulate a desire to render service, to promote worthwhile leadership, and to encourage the development of character in pupils of West Carrollton High School. Those who have been chosen this year are: Norma Jean Brown, Doris Moore, Marian Pfeiffer, Patsy Shade, Donald Throckmorton, and Alberta Treon. Pupils who are eligible must rank in the upper third of their respective classes and must have attended at least 2 years at West Carrollton. Not more than fifteen per cent of any one class may be chosen. From the pupils standing in the upper third of their class, elections are made on the basis of scholarship, service, leadership, and character. The following seniors ranked in the upper third of their class in scholarship: Martha Miller, Helen Downs, Nila Miller, Audra Mesarvey, Phyllis Howland, Bob Snell, and Ray Roberts. The assembly at which these new members were formally inducted was held on April fifth. Short talks on scholarship, service, leadership, and character were given by older members of the society, and the new members were presented with their pins.
