OFFICERS Florence Zinm Vice Nelson W illiams David Jones Vera Gam bone President President Treasurer Secretary Sen ior As we were walking down the aisle last night with the stirring strains of “Pomp and Cireuinstance’' filling the auditorium, the realization suddenly came to me that we were graduating. The weeks of preparation anil all the last minute rush and bustle were over and the long awaited moment had arrived. It didn't seem so long ago that we had first come to high school as seventh graders. We felt so big and important but we soon realized how small and insignificant we were. We were always underfoot and forever getting lost and as a result, were frequently late for our classes. The next year we watched the new class do the same things and laughed at them in their dilemma: we forgot that perhaps the year before another class had laughed at us. In our freshman year we began to feel that at last we could officially take part in the high school activities. Then came Pearl llarhor! That dastardly attack changed our whole lives. W hen we came hack to school as sophomores we found that some of our teachers had not returned. It was that year when the hoys first left school to enter the armed forces. It was that year also when the annual trip to W ashing-ton was cancelled for the duration of the war. In the beginning of our junior year, our class was organized and the officers were elected. Nelson Williams was our capable president: Florence Xinni tin vice-president. I he honor of keeping the accounts was bestowed upon David Jones, and the secretaryship went to Vera Gamhonc. W r received our class rings in January and were the proudest people in the school. As our first project we sold Christinas cards. Other means of making money were skating parties and movie benefits. All that year many of us worked as assistant editors on our school magazine the Blue and Gold. The following fall we were seniors. In our last vear we had an informal dance, another movie benefit and a skating party. In May the annual senior play was held. A Ili-Y Club for the hoys was formed which occasionally joined the Tri-Hi-Y on projects and social events. This year we were editors of the ‘“Blue and Gold and early in tin year we started to assemble the material for our yearbook. During the early part of June we had our Prom with the Junior class as our guests. Then came Class Day. Parents. friends, and underclassmen were there to hear us prophesy what our classmates would become and to heard us will our talents and assets to a lucky junior class. Sunday night Baccalaureate Service was held. We gathered in the auditorium garbed in our caps and gowns. This was the solemn part of our graduation. Our thoughts were with those hoys of our class who had already left to serve their country and could not be with us. At last it was our graduation night. We assembled at the rear of the auditorium, waited for the music to begin, and marched to our seats on the palm-decked stage. It seemed no time until the speeches were over, prizes awarded, and diplomas presented. The music started again and we marched from tin auditorium as alumni of Conshohockcn High School. 16
