W The Freshmen Class of 1945, with Mrs. Christine Sims as home room sponsor, entered Deming High School with high hopes and great expectancy. We were in- dustrious and eager to get the most from our educational opportunities. Like most all other high school classes, we have been beset by great losses in the nu ber of classmates who have quit school, some through channels of matrimony and others because of general discouragements. The Sweetheart Banquet, sponsored by our class, highlighted our Sophomore year. Through both our Sophomore and Junior years Mrs. Sandlfer has been our Sponsor. Now at the end of our third year we are only fourteen in nu ber. Our class roll with pictures above, reading from left to right, is as follows! Mary Lou Hlldreth, Donnie Morford, Mary Jo Barnette, Norma Howard, Betty French, Juanita Myers, Betty Stoker, E. C. Thomas, William Owen Massey, John King, Nolan Craig, Wayne Selby, and Mrs. Sandifer. Donald Linville, President of the class, and Don McBrayer, Vice-President, were absent when the group picture was made.
