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!

We, the Seniors of Banning High School, Class of 1945, on this day of June, being of sound mind (?), do make this last will and testament in the presence of these witnesses. Seeing as how we have to leave our dear old school, we would all like to leave some- thing behind in order that we will not soon be forgotten. So with our spirits low, yet our heads in the clouds, we have chosen from our various belongings our most cherished possessions and have given them to you with the hope that you will tender them and hold them dear so long as you shall live. Mae Andrew wills her height to Ed. Hemmerling—Ye Gads! Barbara Arnold wills her ability to go steady to Phyllis Urton, and Barbara ought to know. Henry Arreola wills his excellent conduct to Jim Moore—and no remarks. Margie Berdan wills her inquisitive nature to Barbara Chandler in hopes she can do better next year. Emelene Bird wills her ability to sneak through halls to anyone who has nerve enough. Bob Black wills his butch haircuts to Robert Nelson. Wayne Boicourt wills the school’s came ra to Bill Ritter—if it’s O.K. with D. G. Marianne Dodd wills “Shorty” to anyone who'll have him—she doesn’t really care. ; Lilia Estrada wills her Beaumont letterman sweater to her sister, Ernestine Estrada—she wants to keep it in the family. Wayne Germain wills his bellhop trousers and all the buttons back to the President—but not ‘till after the war. Marion Hall wills her amazing vocabulary to Gene Brinton. What’s the matter Gene—bewildered? Claire Hanson wills her man trouble to Jane Miller. She knows Jane will take good care of them. Bette Hudson wills her trips to the office to—what am I saying? Mary Francis Johnston wills her flashlight to Doris Carter. Phyllis Jones wills her ability to sneak around the halls with Emelene to anyone who dares——! Beverly Kinniard wills her loud and boisterous ways (?) to Wayne Stanfield. Freddie Slack Kirby wills her abilities to Miss Tipton. Stanley Krause wills Wilma to—Never mind, he’ll keep her. Pat Lovell wills a small part of her everlasting love for Johnnie to the Student Body. Lorraine Lynch wills her deep devotion of B.U.H.S. to Jerry Strobridge; she knows he loves it, too. INTERESTING INHERITANCES Bob Mernick wills his ski sweater to Colleen Sparks to make sure no one else has to keep her warm. Mitzi Marcus wills the Sophomore boys and the art of kissing to Mary Jo Moore. Lorraine Meston wills her alarm clock to the faculty—she’s through catching buses. Lorri Moore wills her good grades to Carl Love and hopes for the best. Wally Moore wills his model “T” to Dick Ackley. George Newbold wills his beautiful curly locks to Jim Underhill, much to the regret of the girls (?) Neva Parsons Gray wills her diploma to the future Seniors, and after the trouble she had getting it too! Nettie Jean Rice wills her athletic ability to the girl’s gym classes; we hope they survive. Katie Roberts wills her amorous ways.to Bob Chute; we know he'll be glad to get them, too. Elena Sanchez wills her red hair to Sylvia Turk. Bette Satterfield wills her sweaters to Ina Mae Sullivan and hopes they fit. Gretchen Schneider wills her trips to Santa Monica to Victor Han- sen; maybe he can get back to school on time. Marie Scott wills her green eyes to Sunday Martin. How about that, Sunday? Mildred Spayth wills her deepest gratitude to Louise Dahnke for having a brother named Henry. Barbara Torrance wills her acting ability to the Speech Class. — Silly Girl! Don Weaver wills his brother’s car back to his brother. Billy Joe Williams wills his full name to featherhead.——Poor featherhead! Darlene Williams wills her many torches back to the boys she was holding them for. As a class, we leave the school and all contained therein, to the present Juniors to do with as they so desire. But be discreet, little ones, for there are classes below you still! And so we leave old Banning High with nothing more than the knowledge we have gained during our four short years of stay, and that is something which can not be given away but shall remain with us until we are but dust. Signed and Sealed. We remain, SENIORS, CLASS OF °45.
