JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY With our eyes on the future and our respective noses to the grind-stone, the class of ’45 set out upon its Freshman year with great expectations. Dick Runvik was elected President, and had the capable guidance of Mr. Knapp, Miss McCoord and Mr. Lohrman. The year proved a successful one both socially and financially. The pecuniary effects of the class were immeasureably strengthened by the selling of candy during the noon hour and after school. Entering into our Sophomore year, we were somewhat wiser to the ways of high school life and more than ever eager to learn, but not without bits of amusement thrown in for good measure. Nelson Parsons, who is now in training at New York Military Academy, was elected President and served his office with bounteous zeal. Under the advisorship of Mrs. Sands, Miss Feeley and Mr. Cogger, several dances were held and the end of the year found us very well off in regards to our treasury. True to the philosophy of our elders, the time flew by as we mellowed with age and our absorbtion of the knowledge that had been pounded into us, and before we realized it, we were electing Howard Wilkinson for our President and were in the first semester of our Junior year. Several dances were held in addition to the Junior Prom and were complete social successes. The Junior play, The Phantom Bells,” under the thorough and competent direction of Mr. Cogger, was a huge success. This was due not only because of the excellent acting and staging effects, but was also due to the plot which was one of mystery. Due to our attedance during the school year, the Faculty honored our home-room by giving us a party, a privilege of which no other class can boast. Mrs. Sands, as our class advisor, led us with unrelenting foresight and through her efforts, a movie benefit was enjoyed by all, including the class Treasurer. As this is written, all that remains in our itinerary is the passage of a complete and pleasing Junior-Senior Banquet, the proposed speaker being the Rev. James J. Corbett, C.M., of the University of Niagara. With our heads held high and with our hopes a little higher, the Class of ’45 looks into the future with expectance of the good things to come in the next year we are to spend in the portals of our good old Alma Mater.” Page 2
