As we became Seniors we found that we had grown up enough to under- take the management and responsibilities of our class. The first of these tasks proved to be the prosaic matter of raising needed funds for financing projects which are customarily undertaken in the Senior year. We launched a maga- zine campaign determined to be successful, and we exceeded our quota. Our next responsibility was managing and financing our yearbook, which this year became more expensive on account of shortages. We sold Christmas cards and wrappings in order to make ends meet. An undertaking which brought us pleasure, as well as a real sense of the obligations we must meet, was the production of the Senior play which called upon us not only for dramatic talent but work behind the scenes which is of comparable importance. We tried to do our part in various ways toward helping in all phases of war work, and in this endeavor we felt that we were a part of all that our school stands for. In these and other ways the Class of 1944 learned to work and play to- gether and have built up a storehouse of happy memories for years to come.
