Wilma Romick Vice President ....... Ralph Salzman Secretary ............ Gwendolyn Schaller Advisor ..... ..... .... Mr. Vaux fT.AJ As the school year marches ahead we find new enlistments in our class, Doris Parker and Warren Thomas. The Seniors are all trying to make the best of this year, as it is the last year we will be at Ashton Community High School. Everyone is studying hard since this is during a war and school will be out May 5th. The Senior Play nProfeasor How Could Youn, was chosen without opposition by the class and presented on April lOth. After weeks of practice the comedy was presented to the public and the Seniors, at least the cast, are of the opinion that the performance easily equalled the Junior's, though they did provide stiff competition. On April 25th, the Juniors entertained us with the annual Junior-Senior Prom-Banquet. This is only the second year we have had a prom and we really enjoyed dancing to that smooth music. Our Class night was held May lst, and every Senior had a mar- velous time laughing and reminiscing over antics of our four years in high school. Baccalaureate, May 5, and Commencement, May 5, were great nights in the history of our lives, especially com encement night when we received our diplomas. To each of us this diploma was only a step in our way of life, as there are many more of these difficult steps ahead. So Bye-Now, - The Senior class of n42n
