'9'7iE' tijlfyt -Q . Valedictorian of the Class of 1945 lack Fedderke Salutatorian of the Class of i945 Alice Froelich Citizenship Awards'-Alice Froelich and Palmer Sportsmanship Cup Alvin Mcxass Linhardt Award Beverly Marihugh Machine Works Awardefloe Seibert Bausch and Lomb Honorary Science Award Iczck Fedderke Paul To the world the Class of l945 proudly presents their representatives and nom- inees for the position of world leaders of tomorrow. Let no being say that the future is doubtful, for with men and women such as these, plus a bit of self-confidence, the world is ours to conquer. Not as Hitler and Hirohito hoped to conquer, but rather -as Socrates, Milton, Shake' speare, Einstein and numerous others have conquered. Those who conquer through knowledge, love of fellow-man, -- -' 'v ': Kwai' faith, hope and charityg of such are these. ln times such as these we hear so much of the future being so uncertain. The presentation of these young men and women is Defiance High School's answer to such cynical observation. As they leave the portals of DHS they probably will be a little dazed and frigtened, but also curious and inquisi- tive about the size and wide range of this old world. But as time goes on and experience is acquired just watch their dust - that's all we can say 4 just watch their dust. Top: luck Fedderke. Bottom: Ioe Seibert. Alice Froelich, Paul Palmer.
