SENIUII CLASS lllS'l'0liY vited to attend this most important social function of the year. There is no need to tell you what that did for our morale. Our -Iuuior year started ofli with the election of officers and cheerleaders. Next. under the direction of Mr. MeDunn, we presented the play 'ABIHIHHQS Baby Hoy . lt was quite amus- ing' to see Teddy Smider. by no means a little boy. running around with abbreviated pants, a bow tie. and a changeable voiceq while Albert Zido's pride and joy was a rubber ball and a piece of st ring. Not since Junior High School days had our whole class been together. so it was with un- bounded entliusiasni that we awaited the Junior Ulass Party. The day. March tenth. finally came and the ball was set rolling' hy a truth or consequences contest followed by games in the grymnasium. A new form of golf was invented-driviiig' the balloon into a wastepaper basket with a grolt' elub, lt took quite a while to master the technique. Then the girls had a shaving race with the poor boys as victims. Since there were no real razors. just plenty of soap, the boys seemed content and smiled at their pretty barbers. They say a little bad must come with every good. Ours came when they announced that the -lunior-Senior Prom had been canceled. Of course it was a shock but didn't we have next year in which to carry out our plans? Thirty days times three and presto we were back in school for the last time. Even in peace- ful times a comparatively small uuinber of students go on to higher education. Now oui' country was at war and it was evident that this small number must be decreased still more. The motto ot' every Senior. even though he may not have realized it. became Make the best of what you have while you still have it. This was difficult at first for there were many faculty vacancies. but soon we learned to like the new teachers as well as the old. One of our number, Paul Yavorsky. brought. honor and glory to his class and school by earning' Honorable Mention in the Second Annual Science Talent Search for the YVestingrhouse Science Scholarships sponsored by Science Service. He was one of three hundred chosen from fif- teen thousand entries. The class play Ever Since Eve was so written as to be exceptionally well suited to a young' group ol' amateurs. Johnny, the seventeen year old boy, had all his plans foiled by the young: lady next door. Susan. the young' lady. had an amazing' imagination and she decided that Johnny was to be the man in her life. For the tea dance. held the following day. the price of admission was the stub from a play ticket. So that those people who did not usually dance might enjoy themselves there was a Square Dance and a Virginia Reel in which everyone could take part. Then Daisy Mae, played by Bob Nea, chased liittle Abner, played by Gabriel Dealedio. around the gym. Any resemblance between liob and Daisy Mae was purely coincidental. XVithout a doubt the Senior Dance was different. lt was informal. there were no corsagres. most of the eouples walked. and after the dance they went to various houses and had a grand time in spite ot' gas rationing. Spring was ,just around the corner and with it came the full realization that we could actually count the remaining' days of school, Surprisingly, that did not make us happy. Quite a few boys had ,joined the service. enrolled in colleges. or had gone to radio school. This left a smaller but more unified graduatingr class. -lust as we attended the Prom and the Senior Iianquet in a gray mood. we went to bacca- laureate and commencement in deep thought. Now the last arc has slipped into place. As we look at our circle some of us wish that it niight have been larger or more compact. Nevertheless it is made with the joys outweighingr thc regrrets and in years to eome we will look back and see only the joys. 31
