The Juniors had to raise money in order to be the best host of the greatest banquet ever given. They made hot dogs to sell with pop at the football games; they sponsored a successful dance, given for the opponent, Palm Springs, after defeating that team in football; they presented for the school and community a side-splitting, hair-raising comedy which hailed in more money than the June Bugs expected or hoped for. The secret was hushed up from place to place, but the Junior-Senior Banquet was the greatest ever given. Yes, Doctor Gunner son, your prediction was right, and the Juniors received their report cards and continued to walk the right road to fame—this class of “45” SEPTEMBER 18, 1944 A few days before school opened, you could hear steps of the Seniors proudly walk the halls just to see what it was going to be like to be Seniors, and after the very last day of vacation, the Emperors proudly walked up to the Eager Beavers of °48 and laid down their commands. A week of exalting prey came by the kingly way—then alas for the Frosh—the Kid Party! Fun, then more fun!! The Seniors sponsored a musical concert in the B.U.H.S. Auditorium, which was very successful. The next attraction was the Senior Play, “Mother-in-Law Blues,” which scored a kayo. The class then presented as a gift to the school, the furniture they had used in the play. A favorable termination of venture was in store when invitations were received to the Junior-Senior Banquet. Baccalaureate and Commencement were the final appearances of this class as a unit. Hail Alumni!

After this week of initiation, school life resumed its regu- lar procedure. The outstanding activity of the year was that of the Freshman Dramatic club. The months slowly passed by until June stopped on a dime and report cards were distributed. All Freshmen passed with “flying colors”, black and blue, and decided that the first lap of the high school race wasn’t so bad. Nevertheless they looked forward to their three-month vacation—and freedom! SEPTEMBER 14, 1942 A somewhat depleted class swept through the halls after the three-month vacation which whirled us into school as Sophomores. We no longer needed to look up to the azure sky but could haughtily look down on the bewildered futures. Some of the brilliant Sophomores entered the Freshman-Sophomore Debate tournament. Daniel Judy and Eugene Derington, Sophomores, were the winners. The Sophomores put on their first play at the Sophomore Hi-Jinx which laid the audience in the dirty aisles. The members in the Hi-Jinx were awarded a huge box of candy as a reward for their success. Predictions were made that the future aggressors would be most outstanding in carrying out their further plans. They did live up to their handle, “Future Aggressors” as you will see by activities of the next two years.
