Here is the Record! HISTORY OF THE CLASS OF ' 45 Tn the autumn of 1941, we enrolled as sixty enthusiastic young students. Within two or three weeks, we became acquainted with the daily routine and prepared to deal with our trials and difficulties, as well as our duties and privileges. We organized our class by electing officers. Ruth Hagerty was elected president; Lester Rohrs, vice-president; Joan Houck, secretary- treasurer. During this first year, we were allowed to participate in a variety of activities including Glee Club, Junior and Senior Band, Dough Girls, F.F.A., basketball, baseball, and track. As we began our second year, our class numbered forty-eight. Several had dropped out for various reasons. Two new students, Dorothy Camp and Harry Evanoff came to Join our group. Various members of our class, who were eligible, enjoyed the privileges of joining the Blue-Triangle and Hi-Y. The officers for this term were: Joan Houck. president; Gene Campbell, vice-president; Dorothy Camp, secretary-treasurer. In the Junior year, the class numbered forty-seven, including most of our old inembers and two new ones. Donna Hinshaw and Alice Willard. During the previous vacation, two of our classmates, Lynn Bender and Harry Evanoff, answered the call of our Country by serving in the U. S. Navy or Army, For this year, we elected Donald Houser, president; Lois Tomlinson, vice-president; Dorothy Camp, secretary-treasurer. Some of our members were privileged to show their ability by portraying characters in the Junior Play, A Mind of Her Own. The cast with the aid of Mrs. Verl Oberlin, Director, made it a success. With pleasure, we sponsored the annual Junior-Senior Reception. An Old-Fashioned Garden theme was used. Thus, we completed our third year; and during our annual three- months ' vacation, we awaited our last one. Thirty-eight members returned to continue our last course of education for life. Several more of our classmates, Donald Houser, Darrell Wilson, Jake Rex, Jack Jenks, and John Boyer answered the call of our Country by serving in the U. S. Navy, Marines, or Army. Now our staff of officers con- sists of Amos Snyder, president; Donna Dielman, vice-president; Gene Campbell, secretary; and Richard Carpenter, treasurer. Richard Carpenter was also elected editor-in-chief of our annual, the Tropaeum. The Senior Play was a farce-comedy entitled, The Cannibal Queen. Once more, a number of the class revealed their talents with the earnest aid of Mrs. Verl Oberlin, Director. Butler High was host to the Central High School of Fort Wayne in the broadcast of the Junior Town Meeting. Two of our classmates, Joan Houck and Ruth Hagerty, were chosen to speak over the radio. The subject of discussion was, Should Students Be Compelled to Attend School Until They Are Eighteen Years of Age? While our friends and relatives are fighting for us in this torment of war, we tried to help by keeping up our sales of War Bonds and Stamps. With earnest effort, we have strived to obtain our diplomas. Upon re- Page 15
