ls . SENIORS CLA SS HISTOR Y The history of the Senior Class of 1945 began with the enrollment of Joel P. Oliver in February, 1937. A little over a year later, Hump Robson joined him. Then in September 1939, the nucleus of the class was formed with the arrival of Krueger, Pons, Hardin and Tatgenhorst. The following year, their number were increased by the coming of Spencer, .Warner, Beal, Graves and Seammen. Some of these boys were responsible for the founding of the so-called C. Company Smoking Room, and other nightmares to the faculty. The Freshman class in 1941 was made up of these boys plus some newcomers: Fitch, Howell, Compton, Glendinning and Grace. With such things as paper-wad fights after taps, pillow fights during evening study hall, tossing contraband from the windows of the Day Boy bus, and ink fights anywhere and anytime, the faculty had already begun to dread the year that these boys would become Seniors. After enjoying three months of loafing etc., we returned to school to find our numbers swelled by the addition of Fortune, Tous, Crooks, and Higgins. This combination of cadets will never forget their happy experiences in Latin class, or the practical jokers in Mr. Cibson's English class. After the return to school the following fall, we were joined by Skinner, Elliot, Clements, Shaw, Halbe, Todd, Lanier, Braren, Minton, Mills, Doro, Gonzalez, Milne, McQuaid and Martin. This almost completed the Class of 1945-in fact, it nearly finished them in the eyes of the faculty. It is doubtful whether any of them will ever forget the jokes, reports, grades and stink-bombs tied up with the Junior English classes. With any imagination at all, one should be able to foresee the bright future in store for such a fine group of youlg men. The remainder of the class of 1945 entered Bolles at Summer School and the following September. These were Davis, Parker, Dempsey, Amrine, Watkins, Kaisner, Archer, Walker, Dulany, Clark and Campbell. We shall skip the accomplishments of the Senior Class, and mention things like humour in Senior English class, the vast quantities of Senior privileges obtained during the year, after-taps excursions and other unmentionables. Seriously, though, we all hate to see it coming to an end. Due to war conditions it will be impossible for but a few of us to attend college, and we shall look back upon our friend- ships and good times at Bolles as the brighter days of our life.
