Standing: Marion Lineman, Betty Koehler, Prudence Hall. Seated: Mrs. Rice. As the Freshman Class of 1944, we entered high school, planning class parties that proved to be more than interesting. They took the high spot on the list of our activities that first year. Then in the middle of our excitement came the disastrous news of Pearl Harbor. We began changing our plans to coincide with the war effort. Plans for parties were curtailed, but we withstood the disappointments. The highlight of our Freshman year was the winning of second place in the song contest, held on Moving-Up Day. During our Sophomore year, we had a few parties which were of little importance. We held a small sport dance and turned the proceeds over to the Red Cross. We conducted a campaign to collect books for the U. S. O. This was done in connection with the Victory Corps. When we advanced to Juniors the newness and excitement of high school had left. We then undertook activities to provide more excitement. The three main events of our Junior year were ordering our class rings, presenting the traditional Junior play and the Junior-Senior Banquet. And now we are Seniors. At this crucial time we need capable leaders. For this reason Betty Koehler was chosen to guide us as our President. She previously demonstrated her ability as a leader through the various offices she held. Don Clark was elected vice-president but in January of this year he left us for the U. S. Navy. Prudence Hall was elected secretary and Marion Lineman treasurer. At perhaps the most important position of all we chose Mrs. Rice to be our class advisor and keep us on the right track. During our Senior year a big event has been the Senior play, but the biggest events concern graduation. Through various committees, invitations and name cards were selected, caps and gowns ordered. We, the Class of 1945, arc ready to leave Bolivar Central School as the fourth wartime class. CLASS OF 1945 21
