: (ONCE THAT WY How we laughed and held our sides At the funny things they’d say! In January of °42 Came a very momentous day; The Student Council was recognized, We helped launch it on its way. Greek Chorus JANUARY CHANT She’s one of our talented class; Elaine Deitz became its president— The qualities of a leader Possesses this executive lass. Not Greek, Not Dignified But We Loved It. Now we sing of the past, Of December 7, in °41, Of the Class of °44: Pursuits of mind intrigued us, As they did the kids of yore. Industry and integrity, Became our motto—behold, Aiding us to shape ideals In a firm and virtuous mold. But think not always and ever Our hours were spent in learning: Many were the care-free times When candles weren’t brightly burning. You'll understand that we were young, And with life were growing up; Of its happiness and sorrow We wanted to drain life’s cup. Miss Mildred Jenks advised us all In her kind and patient manner; Class opinion spoke well of her; So we gave her a C.O. banner. Mr. Walker and Mr. Oswald, Our co-advisers, they: 5 y Allan Fletcher, Betty Cullinane, Gertrude Braica, e200 Elaine Deitz. There’s nothing I need to say: Pearl Harbor will ever bring to mind The infamy of that day. Many of our boys, and of our teachers, too Soon felt their country’s need: The pleas for men to fill our ranks They readily did heed.
