THE TUSAYAN - ' JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY The Class of '45 began its high school career in the fall of 1941. The class consisted of forty-nine members, eighteen boys and thirty- one girls. One of the first activities was to elect class officers. Mary Jaime was elected president, Paul Luna, vice-president and a secre- tary-treasurler was not elected that year. Like all freshmen we were initiated by the sophomores, and it helped us settle down to the high school routine. Our first social function was a Hallowe'en dance in honor of the sophomores. This activity made us feel very big and im- portant. We closed our freshman year with a picnic at McLellan Dam. At the beginning of our sophomore year we felt quite experienced in high school life, even if We were still lower classmen. Officers elected to lead the class were Billy Lilly, presidentg Mary Martinez, vice presi- clentg and Mary Matson, secretary-treasurer. Bud Parrish, LaVonna Tiller, Betty Jo Simms, Rose Dougall, Jean Cravey, Connie Davis, and Barbara Stone were all new students who enrolled in high school the sophomore year. Arnulfo Luna came back from Flagstaff High School to re-enter in our class. Our most important activity that year was the freshman initiation, and we really laid it on . That evening we sponsored the initiation dance for the freshmen because we wanted them to have as nice an introduction into high school as we had. Sophomore boys who took part in sports were Billy Lilly, Dick Gonzalez, Paul Farmer, and Bill Dye, the first three of whom became lettermen. Other sopho- mores were active in the Dramatic Club, the Glee Club, the W Club, and the Pep Squad. We closed our sophomore year on May 28, looking for- ward to our junior year when we would at last become upperclassmen. Our junior year started off by electing Carolyn Byrd, presidentg Jeanne McDowell, vice-presidentg and Dick Gonzales, secretary-treas- urer. Four new students-Marilyn Tissaw, Vernon Fetterman, Roberta York, and George Gruette-enrolled in the junior class. This year we Went into big business in a big way. Quite a number of the boys were prominent in both football and basketball. Many of the girls were active in Glee Club, the Pep Squad, and the Drum and Bugle Corps. Others joined the Thespian Club and the Viking Staff. Funds for the Prom were obtained by giving the Junior play Brother Goose which was quite a successful undertaking. On May 24 we gave the Prom and it was a s-atisfying reward for all our labors. At the close of our junior year We were very excited, for next year we would be SENIORS. During ou1' three years in high school, six boys joined the service. Eddie Dallago, Carlos Rodriquez, and Jimmy Bustamante are now serving in the Navy and Alvin Ryan, Paul Luna, and Lorenzo Her- nandez are in the Army. Carolyn Byrd Class Historian 16
