Senior History Looking back to a warm sunshiny day in Septem- ber iogggg, we see a group of boys and girls with bright smiles on their little faces as they take their place in the first grade at the lilementary Building on Dayton street. As they crowded into line the round, glowing face of Virginia Ellis was visible at the front of the line, with Anna Hull very eagerly waiting second to hurry into the first grade room to find their places in this new world. At the very, very end we see a small timid boy with a doubtful frown on his face, trying to decide if he's going to like this new world of school. We are immediately informed that he is Buster l lamilton. During the years at the lilementary Building, we learned to work together, play together, and to love each other. Several things happened during the last year which bring back happy memories, such as the production of a play, as well as the boys starting their first turn at basketball under the coaching of an Antioch student. Upon arriving at Bryan in the Seventh Grade we took our place in Iunior High events. Most of the seventh year was spent getting adjusted to high school life, hut during the eighth period we began to display our talents. We were very proud to welcome Rico Federighi, who joined our class that year and represented Bryan in the All County Test in Algebra I in competition with Freshmen and Sophomores, winning the coveted first place. That same year Harold Slate, lack DeVine, and Rico Federighi went to the county fair and came home with additional prizes and honors. Upon entering High School we presented our first dance on Valentines Day, Swing and Sway the Freshman Way. ln the Sophomore year with the aid of the Freshmen, we bought the green covers for magazines that are now being used in the library. .Xs Iuniors we became very prom conscious and under the advisement of Miss Taylor we strove to make the needed sum. We began by selling potato chips, popcorn and peanuts at noons. However, this was not satisfactory. We then tried several 5o-5o dances which proved financially successful. The second semes- ter still found us wanting a little more in the way of finances and we decided to sell magazines and chose lien Lawson and Bill Brown as our leaders. This filled our coflers to overfiowing. VVe had a very exciting experience when Mr. Bagby took our American Government class to Springfield to visit a trial. This lasted several days and needless to say much was learned even though we were disturbed because the defendant was found guilty. On May 15th we gave the Iunior-Senior Prom, Moonlight and Stardustf, The gymnasium was trans- SENIOR CLASS LEADERS NATE Lawson BETTY Coituuti.

The Milky Way, a three-act comedy, was pre- sented by our class with Betty Cordell and Ken Lawson playing star roles. The Senior year found us proud and dignified. Proud because of what we had achieved during our past years at Bryan, and dignified because we had attained that goal for which we had struggled so long. We started the series of assembly programs with a Senior Canteen, which brought out much of the hidden talent of the class. Next came the Senior Car- nival, better known as the Fall Festival. Amusements consisted of both round and square dancing, bingo, refreshments, a turkey raffle and other means of enioy- ment. Last in the series of events was the Poinsettia Prom, a formal dance given by the Senior Class. The Class of 1945 will bid farewell to Bryan on May 17th, when We march down the aisle for the last time to the tune of Pomp and Circumstance, to receive the coveted passport that gives the privilege of further education. 1NA0MI IEAN IXDAIXIS

The President's Message Classmates: You are going out into a world of hate, hunger, feai, and destruction. lt is your responsibility to bring love to all people no matter what the race or creed, and help take fear and hunger out of people's hearts and replace them with joy and satisfaction. It is yours to bring peace to the war-torn universe so that never again shall man have to take up the sword to slay the aggressor. You must carry the master-key of knowledge to educate the people for this changing world of love and peace, that we are going to have. This is your duty to God, your country, and humanity. You are the men of tomorrow, you are America's future, so, strive to bring security for future geenrations. Again, you must safeguard America's priceless heritage, Freedom. This is your obligation to your forefathers. You are being given a new world, with aeronautics, electronics, and plastics among the lates of discovery. Une of you, who may have been in a high school chemistry class, could be the next to add to these new fields. You with your hands are going to mold the world that your children and grandchildren live in. Twenty hours from anywhere on the earth, natural heat from the sun, it sounds improbable, but you are going to make such a world. You can be proud when you receive your diploma, an achievement of your own mind. Think how lucky you are that you were able to get an education and follow your own pattern of life. That education was given to you by your thoughtful predecessors. What are you going to contribute to your successor? Do the most and best you can during your span of life and remember that your high school days will ever be the stepping stones for future achievements. -C1 mums HENRIIZI 1si2N To THE FUTURE by' Kenneth Lawson We started to school in '33 To get an education, To build a sound and sensible mind And accept our new relations. The three Ris were easy, For we were extra smart, Every single one of us Got off to a good start. As we progressed along the way And as our knowledge grew, The greater things in life, it seems Came rushing into view. Misfortune seemed to be our lot For during our last years, Along came horrors before unknown To fill gay hearts with fears. But as we look upon the scene Graduation is in view, We know the class of '45 Will always battle through. This will be our challenge, Though good or bad prevail, lf given but an equal chance Our tasks we will not fail.
