To again revert to the serious side of this Q ,history, Wallace Campbell held the office of President of the Student Body unti.he left school early in the spring of l945. At that time Harvey Mattice, who had been the Student Body Vice Pres., stepped into the chair vacated by Wally. Toward the Gloss of the Junior year, our class was invited to go on the Senior week-end with the Seniors much to the Jdniors' sur- prise. We partially repaid the Seniors with a banquet at the Grand Hotel in Walla Walla honoring the outgoing class. This year's activities were culminated on Commencement even- ing, at which time we the Juniors were excited as the Gerald Ladley plaque for all-around sportsmanship and athletic abil- ity was presented to Richard Uhling. Time Marches on and we arrive at the last and final year for the Class of '44. It has been a short year, crammed with activities, honors, and, incidentally, much hard work on the part of each class member in order to complete his and her necessary requirements in ee years. The class enrbllr ment is only five now, but five who have been together throuf ghout our entire high school career. We feel that we have been an outstanding class, but we, also, know that the vac- ancies we leave will be filled by you who remain at Columbia and ---- adequately and competently filled. That is the thou- ght that makes us a little sad for we know that as time goes on, and as each new class enters Columbia, the memory of the present Seniors' achievements will become a little more blur- red each year, but we hope you will remember us. The officers which led the class this year are: Pres., Richard Uhlingg vice.-Pres., Bernice Jones, Sec.fTreas., Flo- rence Goldade and Advisor, Mrs. Davidson. Among other offie es held by members of this group are: Student Body ?res.,--- Harvey Matticeg Girls' Federation Pres., Dorothy Lcitzmang Treas. of the Student Body, Florence Goldadeg ?res. of the Lettermen's Club, Richard Uniingg'ene the Editor of the Col- umbia Breezes, Bernice Joncs.l Both boys in the class were first-string players in both football and basketballg four members of the class took part in the Junior Play Jumpin' Jewelsg two of the girls will recieve their torch pins as fourth-year members of the Honor Society, Dorothy Leittman received her 8-year pin for 4-H dwork at the 4-H Achievement Dinner last weekg and Harvey and Richard both passed the V12 Army Training Exam. A Social activities on our calendar have included the Jr. Prom early in the fall a birthday dinner on Dec. 5th at the home of our advisorg the Senior weekend spent atia log cabin in the ,Blue Nts, above Walla Wallag and last but not least, the Junior-Senior Banquet held in Pasco on the evening of Jan. l4. The Banquet was a lovely finale for all our activi- ties and especially the toasts to each of us.i The final event is our graduation this Thursday evening. It is called Commencement, and how true that is. What the future holds for us, we know not, but our endeavors are high Thus, Columbia High, closes the chapters of the History of the class of '44.
