lContinued from page lOl ball were awarded Harry Codt, Gerald Bur- gess, Russell Byers, Fred Meinke, Dean Rizner, Stanley Stonecipher, John Wolbart, and Roger Bivins, Fred Meinke, John Sloan, John Wolbart, Dean Rizner, and Lee Heron earned major basketball letters. Major track letters were won by Fred Meinke and John McLean. Two Dramatic Club productions, Mr, and Mrs. North and My Heart's in High, utilized much of our junior talent. Leading roles played by juniors in Mr, and Mrs. North included, Susan Warner, Mary Keeney, Elaine Fisher, Bob Malach, Lois Selgestad, Wayne Frazer, and Dick Brown, in My Heart's in High, Wayne Frazer, Dona Pieschel, Alice Schmidt, Lois Selgestad, Mary Lou Wil- liams, and Eleanor Jones. During the last semester, the Dixini staff was made up almost entirely of juniors. Car- men Leonard served as managing editor, Rosemary Baker as news editor, Alice Schmidt as news editor, Russell Byers as sports editor. All of these journalists car- ried on their work until the middle of their senior year. During the junior year we pre- sented our best talent in the junior assem- bly. Various radio programs made up the theme, the most humorous being the Mr. Anthony skit. We chose for our class offi- cers Carmen Leonard, pres'dent, Bob Ma- lach, vice-president, and Lois Selgestad, secretary-treasurer. For the first time we were able to help plan the junior-senior prom and attend it. lt was a wonderful evening for everyone and the memories will linger forever. We solemnly watched the seniors graduate and knew that the day was not far off for us At last we reached the top of the ladder as high and mighty seniors. At first we didn't quite feel big enough to hold down the job, but it wasn't long before we became accustomed to being seniors. The first issue of the Dixini came out under senior leader- ship. For the first half of the year Carmen Leonard served as editor, Rosemary Baker, as managing editor, Alice Schmidt, as news editor, and Russell Byers, as sports editor. At the end of the first semester, the seniors retired and the juniors carried on under senior editor Rosemary Baker. Football season was as exciting as always and we were one hundred per cent behind the fellows-win or lose. The fellows who proved their football skill and received major letters were: Ken Carroll, John Wolbart, William Boehme, Gerald Burgess, Russell Byers, Harry C-odt, John Jenkins, Charles Webster, Fred Meinke, Jack Wola- ver, and Bob Dogwiler. For our last year in high school we elected John Wolbart for president, Bob Camery for vice-president, and Ray Hood for secretary- treasurer. We chose Carmen Leonard for the D. A. R. good citizen representative in the early part of the second semester. We will never forget the wonderful eve- ning of April l3 when the C- A.A. held their annual dance in the high school gym. Every- one was invited and all the gals showed up with their best fellows. Along with that we will fondly remember Senior Day as our last program with the entire class cooper- ating. We all probably will look back on our last exams of high school life and remember how we took them before any of the other students and how hard we crammed I Many gay evenings were spent in the gym at the popular SACS dances. Our class suc- cessfully carried on this project which started in last year's class. The formal dance held by the SACS Club was a tremendous success and largely contributed to the most enjoyable events of our last year. We stop here a moment to remember all the fellows who have left our class since our freshman year to serve in the armed forces. We sadly wish they could have graduated with us, but we know they will be remem- bered as loyal and courageous members of the class of '45. Almost too soon the first day of June was upon us. We could hardly wait for that main event of our last year-the junior- senior prom. lt was the gayest of gay eve- nings and will never be forgotton. And now, with sadness in our hearts, we have come to the end of another chapter in our lives. Now, we will attempt to gain suc- cess and happiness in a world of turmoil.
