HISTORY OF THE CLASS OF 1944 Motto: Finimus Coepturi - fWe Finish to Beginj Colors: Blue and Gold Flower: Yellow Tea Rose We very meekly commenced our freshman year of high school with the sole activity of electing officers with Mr. Evans as adviser. What an accomplishment! YVe gathered strength in our sophomore year and started out with an excell- ent assembly program consisting of a microphone skit entitled They Gave Us Freedom , which was written by our adviser Mr. Mauger. A Christmas party with class guests was held in the auditorium. Our increase of strength could probably be credited to the fact that we had all girl officers to lead us. They really did a fine job! In our very sophisticated junior year we really got organized under Miss Stoddard and sponsored the annual Christmas dance. It was both a financial and social success. Excitement! Everyone was proudly displaying his class ring! We presented an April assembly program. We ended our social activities this year with our junior banquet held in May at Ye Saylors' Inn. All the back roads were stealthily traveled because of the pleasure driving ban. Now! - we are the dignified seniors soon to go out to make and take our places in the world. We have been very ably led by Miss Stoddard again this year. On Thanksgiving, we sponsored the Senior Dance and hit the jack pot . After mid year exams some of our number left to go into the army, navy, and marines with their diplomas promised to them at the end of the year. The annual senior play, a mystery-comedy entitled Aunt Susie Shoots the Works was a great success. Dressed in our best we attended our banquet on May 12 at Pocono Manor. We all kept our fingers crossed because of the possibility of another gasoline ban. 'This year the order of Class Day has been changed and an enjoyable program will be given to the public with class talent, followed by a picnic-for-fun confined to the members of the senior class. Baccalaureate has been planned with the Reverend Henry V. Young as the speaker. As Commencement draws near we find that the joy we thought we would feel at our last and most impressive program of our high school term has turned to wonder as to what is to follow. We are feeling the traditional tenseness that goes with the ending of one experience and the beginning of another. Ten
