CLASS HISTORY This year the class of 1945 bids farewell to its alma mater and takes up its role in the world to preserve our democracy and to help build a better country. After twelve years of formal education we are on our own, to stand up for ourselves and to strive to make America proud that we are her citizens. Let us now go back for a brief review of our high school days. Three years ago we were important sophomores. Two social functions were held and Fred Redman was elected president. He was succeeded by Virginia Hawley for the second semester. ln our junior year, with Carlos Brown as our leader, we presented to the students and towns- people our junior play entitled, Widow by Proxy, which proved a great success. Iohn Man- nick, a member of our class, played the leading role. ln the llH semester we elected Iohn Behnke, president. Assisted by the class of l9451f2, we were hosts to the seniors for the junior-senior reception held in the library May 19. The decorations carried out the theme ol a southern garden and Norman Dunbar's orchestra furnished the music for dancing. Our senior year will always be a memorable year to us. Charles Henager was elected presi- dent, Beverly Decoto, vice-president, lane Walton fl2LJ and Barbara Randle fl2Hl, secretary, and Martin Buchanan, treasurer. In November of 1944 we held our class party in the gym and invited the members of the John Rogers football team to be our guests. At mid-year we presented the annual assembly portraying various graduating seniors. On may ll, the class of 1946 honored us with the junior-senior reception. During the last part of the school year we had our skip-day, senior banquet, baccalaureate program, and finally the graduation ex- ercises on lune 8. We appreciate the fact that we had the opportunity to acquire an education and wish to ex- press our gratitude to the patrons and teachers who made this possible. Helen Creighton fifteen
