W'ell, that is the Torch staff. It is interesting to see a group of girls talking together about this and that, a few doing shorthand, the boys talking to Mr. Reed, and Club Editors: Virginia Waslosky Thomas Hanzas Business Managers: Anne Kirkland Justin Fair Soprts Editors: Frank Heinrichs Bernard Powers the Editor trying to get everyone to cooperate. But, it can be done! Room 218 could be seen occupied until after 5 o'clock with these busy children racking their brains trying to think? ? 7? Finally some- one got the idea of basing the Torch on a newspaper plan. They got all excited and just couldn't wait to get started. Can't you tell? Girl's Sports Editor: Ann Little Student Photographer, Jack Pearce Director of Art: William E. Reed Editorial and Business: Advisor: Frederick W. Agnew The art staff drew up the plans, feature writers wrote up their articles, sports edito1's and club editors w1'ote their sections, pic- tures and cartoons were finished and put in, the cover was selected, and everything was sent to the printer. It sounds simple but it required a lot of hard work from the staff, It Says Here!

Since the office is one of the most frequently visited places in the school, we shall meet its per- sonnel. Early each morning UQ you will find Miss Marjorie Reed arriving. She is secretary to Mr. Glass and is a graduate of Dor- mont High School. She occupies the main office and meets many of the students there. Then Miss Jean Sloan arrives. As secretary to Dr. Stewart, she also meets many of the students when she gives them their working permits. NShe is a graduate of South High. The secretary to the school board is Miss Ruth Mahaffey. She has her office down at the end of the hall and is also a graduate of Dor- mont High. She takes care of the financial accounts of the school. In Miss Reed's office there are a few little t'helpers who work f?J one period a day in the office. Any time you go in there, you will find one of them struggling with the switchboard. Miss Reed's peeve is all the children that are tardy. Miss Sloan's is the pupils that are pay- ing for books but don't know the name, only the color. Miss Ma- haffey's is the muscle she gets in her arm from working the adding machine when she is figuring out the income taxes. But everyone works together and things run along quite smoothly. if af if TORCH 1945 Page 9 THE OFFICE OF D SERVICE WITH A SMILE Open Day and Night R O X Y ' S RIGHT FOOD . . .

i' i 'A' TORCH 1945 Page 11 This year-l9454the an- nual tradition of e l ectin g Senior Class Officers was carried out successfully. Dur- ing our Freshmen, Sopho- more, and Junior years we had an opportunity to recog- nize our leade1's in various fields and appreciate their services, but in our Senior year we chose those who were to represent our class in our scholastic activities. Those who were to represent us were James Davis, our president, Leslie Lofquist, as vice president, Arthur Nass, treasurer, and Nancy Wible, the secretary. As you can see these are all outstanding members of the 1945 class, and they made capable lead- ers. 'lhese officers were imme- diately interviewed by a member of the Dormonitor staff, and their likes and dis- likes, ambitions, and favorite doings were brought to light. These facts proved quite in- teresting and enlightening- Jim Davis has a certain dream-girl in mind who is nice looking with a neat fig- uie and swell personality. His favorite song is Sunday, and his pet peeve is silly girls! He likes football best of all other sports. In fact, he someday hopes to be head coach of the Greentree Tech team. Jeanne Craine is his SE IOR OFFICERS ELECTED -Ng- I .Y f cf Art Nass, Jim Davis, Nancy lVible, Les Lofquist favorite m 0 v i e star.-vLes Lofquist thin k s a certain blond majorette is tops. He likes the song Letls Go Pickin' Cherries and dislikes Freshies on the football team. His favorite expression is O. K., you Rubeslt' His am- bition is to be an F. B. I. Agent. Art Nass seems to be more than a little interested in the city of Ebensburg and also a ceitain girl who lives there. His favorite sport is foot- Lall, but he doesn't like it when there are no blockers as he runs through the line. Donna Reed has first place on his list of movie-star fav- orites. Someday he hopes to be head of the Stove pipe gang. -Nancy Wible's ideal is one great big, nice Swede. She goes for Van Johnson in a big way too. Her pet ex- pression is t'Hot dog, and her favorite song is Rhap- sody in Blue. Her pet peeve is chewing gum on top of beds-of all places! She also likes a little song called Grandpa's Nose is a Little Red, But His Lunch Box is a Little Pale. Her ambi- tion is the same as Les's. They want to start the Lest You Fall Orphanage in California. Well, these are the class officers in person, and we know that you were proud to stand behind them just as all of us were proud of the other outstanding accom- plishments of the Class of 1945.
