l l 'i'l Salutatorian I Doris Miller Doris Miller was the second highest in scholastic ranking over the three and one- half years. She has not gained this high standing by slighting other school activi- ties. Her Work in connection with clubs, on committees, as an officer in class and clubs. has been commendable and indicates a most satisfactory school career. She gave a pleasing performance in the play, Ever Since Eve. 20 wiki' Valedictorian Wanda Chapman It is a grand achievement to finish a high school career with the crown of vale- dictorian resting securely on one's head. It is especially gratifying to the school when the individual who wears it also is an ex- ample of a fine. healthy, lovely American girl. Along with the ability to reap the A's of the classroom has gone the desire to be of service. For her many acts of serv- ice, her classmates and the faculty are grate- ful. She has a pleasing personality topped off by an infectious grin. It is with satis- faction that Wanda Chapman is called one of Washington-Clay's best. The I 94 5 M inutcman

E lnora Izdepski JUNIORS The class ofiicers of this year's junior class are President, Marjorie Hosler: Vice-President, Richard Asire: Secretary, Anne Greeng and Treasurer, Elnora Izdepski. We have had three money-making activities consisting of a movie, dance, and a magazine sale. All three proved to be quite successful. The Harvest Hop dance was held in October with the music provided by Tony Gaik and his orchestra. Everyone seemed to enjoy themselves very much. Much credit can be given to Mr. Rogers, who directed the junior play. The name of the play was June Mad. The prom will be held at the Progress Club, May 19, with music provided by Myron Walz. It promises to be a lot of fun. A magazine sale was held in which we competed with the seniors and, because they lost, the seniors gave us a party. The junior class has contributed their share of boys as far as the athletic activities are concerned. Junior boys playing on the basketball team this year were Richard Asire, Jerry Haney, and George Walsh. George was also a cheer leader: Bernice McCormick and Betty Lou Brown were the other two. In the latter part of the season. Curly started playing basketball so another cheer leader was chosen. That cheer leader was Mary Lou McCormick. Much credit can be given to these cheer leaders for the wonderful pep sessions and their grand performances at the games. There were also quite a number of the juniors in the Booster Club. The junior class is well represented in the National Honor Society. These girls and boys were Barbara Kirkwood, Mary Rose Patitucci, Patricia Romine, Marjorie Hosler, Charles Helmen, Jack Harrison, and James Holton. We had a party which was held at Christmas time. We brought gifts which were exchanged among those present. For entertainment, we played games in the gym and had dancing in room three. Refreshments were served toward the latter part of the evening. Our class rings this year are a little different from the past few years. As everyone knows, the girls' rings have sets of black pearl and white pearl. The boys' rings are all gold. A few of the girls got the pin, which looks very nice. We hope that our senior year will be even more successful than this junior year has been. . ANNE GREEN. 22 The 1945 Minuteman
