PROUD AND MIGHTY SENIORS MAKE THEIR The class of '44 is comprised of 92 illustrious students each one seeking his own road to suc- cess in the future. Of these 92, two have already answered their countryis call. Harold Moyer joined the Navy early in the fall followed by Jesse Yoder in March. These and many more will be the soldiers and sailors of today. From the 92 Seniors, four were chosen as their officers who lead the class in their final decisions. David Mayer was elected to the high ofiice of Senior Class Presi- dent, with Richard Grabert, for- mer Junior Class President, as APPEARANCE vice-president, aided by Janell Landis, secretary, and Betty Jane Fry, treasurer. Each senior was kept busy with his own duties which every Senior encounters. The Senior Class Play, Peck's Bad Boy, was presented on April 18, with Richard Grabert portraying Peck. This, with excitement of Class Night, the Prom, and grad- uation, provided an exciting year. As a fitting motto, the seniors selected- Today we follow, to- morrow we lead -a challenge to the 1944 Seniors.
