Kfcm Astor? Our Freshman year! How far back it seems! And yet, when we stop to think about it, we donit feel so much older. Every year a new class of bewildered freshmen invades the limits of Dunellen High and in 1940 We were the innocent but suspicious victims. We d,idn't make much of a start in our first year. Why? Well, perhaps, because we were FRESHmen. Early one morning in September, 1941, we made our initial appear- ance at D. H. S. as Sophomores. We had discarded the blank stare and questioning look of freshmen and stood at the portals of our second year in high school with all the assurance and confidence of trained per- formers. This year we entered the field of finance by sponsoring two projects-a basketball game in assembly and an after school dance. Both proved highly successful and turned out to be stepping stones toward our one goal-We were looking forward to the annual Junior Prom. At last our Junior year was here and the big moment had arrived. What? you ask. Why the Junior Prom, of course. After much de- bate, we finally decided to have as a setting an old-fashioned park scene with quaint gas lamps, flower beds, and all. Mysteriously, a gay quarter moon beamed down on the dancers that night while they tripped the light fantastic to the smooth strains of Ray Martin's orchestra. Certainly, the other outstanding event of the year was the purchas- ing of class rings. Will you ever forget the rush to see the display, waiting for the orders to arrive, the first time you slipped it on, and finally show- ing it off? As we watched the seniors assemble and prepare for graduation, we suddenly realized that now we were ruling the roost. We had come through three joy-filled years and were ready to be seniors ourselves. When we started our Senior year last September, we thought we knew just about everything and everyone around D. H. S. But to our surprise, we found that the war and the draft had made many changes not only on the faculty but also in our own classes. Throughout the year we were continually reminded of this, whenever any one of our old pals now in service, turned up in school for a visit. But the time is drawing near now when the Class of ,44 will be no more. There will be only memories of things like marching into assembly for the first time, the senior wing, starting the Exodus, having our picture taken for it, the lockers, the Senior Ball, and most important of all-Baccalaureate and Graduation.
