Il 5 I H LEIUIS IIIC EIL LASS OF NINETEEN HUNDRED AND FORTY-FIVE hw -., IIDITIIIIISTRIITIDII We believe here that the things we do now influence our future lives. We can grow or stagnate. We can take with us forward look- ing ideals. With the end of this war in sight, we hope, we become aware that tornorrow's complex- ities will be those in which Iune's graduates must find a place. This implies a responsibility for that world, a respect for its people, and for their right to choose their own government freely. We should now have adequate respect for the contributions of many races and creeds to our civilization. We must face reality and accept new respon- sibilities. As the instructor at a flight school watches his trainee solo for the first time so we watch you with the same pride in your beginning accomplishments. We have a sincere faith in your ability to perform because we have shared life with you because you are part of the America which we both revere. WALTER L. BUMGARDNER, Superintendent These are days filled with opportunities for you, packed with moments of anxiety for your parents and friends,-days with numerous challenging occasions which call for leader- ship, clear thinking, and demands for your best. With those who are entering the armed forces go our heartfelt appreciation and prayers. With those who are entering college or other institutions of learning, the business world, and to those who stay home go our best wishes for success. Our desire is that you may maintain the sincerity, honesty and fair play which we have tried to inculcate in your learn- ing. May God bless you everyone, keep you, and guide you all the way. We will always recall, with much pleasure and happiness, each member of the class of '45. IosEP1-1 E.

Second How: Mr. Graves, Mr Webster, Mr. Bean, Mr Cain, Mr. Adams THE BUHHD OF EDIICHTIUII ensr nunonn man scuool The management of a high school is a difficult and complicated affair. We, of the East Aurora High School, are fortunate to have acting on our Board of Education, a group of competent and interested citizens of the community. Their selfless concern for the young people of the area is proved by the fact that they receive no remuneration for their service, other than the satisfaction of service to the community and the pride that comes from a successful school. Mr. Irving L. Price, President: Mrs. Donald E. Maytham, Vice President: Mr. Edwin T. Bean, Mr. Donald T. Graves, Mr. Richard W. Adams, and Mr. Wil- liam Webster are all members who have served long periods of worthwhile administration. Equally valuable, although relatively new members, are Mrs. Raymond L. Moore, Mrs. Edwin A. Brewer, and Mr. I. Forrest Cain. The Class of '45 is proud of our Board of Education . . . for what they have done for us and for our teachers: we are grateful for their support and regret to see the termination of a most pleasant association. ASS OF NINETEEN HUNDRED AND FORTY-FIVE 8 FIICIILTV ir There is a group of competent people in our school to whom we refer with the general title of faculty . Almost all of us have learned to know each of them separately and to be grateful for the many thoughtful and kind things that they have done for us. Each room in school has become meaningful to us because of the personality in it. We have worked with and for these people and have found them conscientious in their aims for us and helpful in their individual guidance of us. If in the past, we have taken for granted their tireless labors, we pause to compliment them for their persistent effort. Many of them spend extra hours helping with activities from which we get most of the benefit and a great deal of the fun. We hope that in the days to come we may live lives that will justify and do credit to the skillful training and excellent characters of those who have taught us. science l Q l l L First Row: Mr. Burdick, Miss Stanbro, Mrs. Schnecken- burger. Second Row: Mr. McNeil . . . Man's ultimate fate is not written in the works of Spengler or Veblen or Marx, but in the nucleus of his own cellsf his end if it be pre-destined, is in the death of a star or in a rising of the bacteria . . . for of life there is but one kind.

Henry, Mrs, Plain, Mr. Bird But at least knowing before your own conscience that you are not mouthing things you do not know and do not under- stand . . . that at least you have tried to see clearly. Reasoning, not to confute past experience, but because you see that past experience of each man now dead has given you higher eminences upon which to stand and thus see further on than they could. ERIC KNIGHT, This Above All IIIIITHEIIIIITICS First Row: Mr. Smith, Miss Boldt, Mr. Hickey Second How: Mr. Marlowe . . In final sum, we must somehow . . . live that the quality of life itself shall be good and lead on fruitfully to other and finer living. How each one does this- that it is which for him builds his indi- viduality. And it is the quality of that living that counts. WILLIAM L. KILPATRICK, Democracy and the Curriculum BIISIIIESS Mrs. Parker, Miss Kaiser, Mr. H. Henry Then, at home again, came a sense of elation with the realization that here were opportunities, millions of jobs, big jobs and small jobs for all us kids, young kids and old kids, if only we could be saved from the old illusions and fairy tales and taught to see things as they are, straight, as solvable unsolved problems and oppor- tunities. LINCOLN STEFFENS, Lincoln Steffens Speaking 10 LIIIIGIIIIGES First How: Miss Bryan, Mrs, Hamilton Second How: Miss Hyde, Mrs. Smith Whenever the English people had direct Contact with other cultures, whether by trade, conquest, cultural interchange, or colonization, they plundered foreign vo- cabularies to enrich their own. This type of plundering, it may be said, had one very great advantage over the harsher forms of acquisition that often go with im- perial expansion: it hurt nobody and left the givers no poorer than they were be- fore. MARGARET SCHLAUCH, The Gift of Tongues EIIGLISH First How: Mrs. Ward, Mrs. Peek Second Row: Miss Harp, Mr. Hoover, Miss Dillon They'll build great bridges yet and taller towers. But a vow has lasted where a wall has fallen,' a word has been remem- bered where a city perished: and faith has lived when a flesh grew rotten. THOMAS WOLFE. The Web and the Rock IIPPLIED IIRTS Mr. White, Mr. Harbison America has been a work hive since the fifteenth century. All over the hundreds of thousands of miles of virgin land the tents went up, the cabins went up, then the brick, the stone, the fantastic cloud- scraping shafts of concrete and steel . . . the workshop became a mill, the mill be- came a factory, the factory became a vast plant, the plant grew into a solid town.

As each momma kissed her darling and put him on the pathway to Life, Miss Rosen stood Waiting with a welcoming smile for this next flock of untaught cygnets, ready to do her bit toward transforming each into some semblance of a cultured swan. A trip to the local post office first broadened our tiny horizons. Re- member our first efforts at creation-those much worked on Christmas presents for Mom and Dad? They looked like unlovely hunks of clay to everyone else, but to us they were really quite attractive ash trays and candle- holders. More trips were in the offing for first and second grades. There was a tour of the theatre building, where we were all fascinated by the holes in the silver screen. Pfeiffer's made a happy day of it one warm afternoon. Cries of Look at this! and Oh, smell this one! vi- brated against sunny window panes. Highlight- ing third grade was a visit to the Vel-Rose ice cream parlor-who wasn't interested in the making of ice cream! ITH THE CLIISS 0F '45 Fifth grade saw the aging cygnets motoring to the Buffalo Pottery where we all had a very enjoyable and interesting time-except for a few of us who rounded out the day by becom- ing carsick on the return trip home. The same year we were also taken to the Buffalo Mu- seum of Science. How life-like were the stuffed animals! CThose in the casesj Next year the roar of the presses inspired those with a drop of printer's ink in their veins and off we went to The Courier-Express. Bette Hamilton is known to have first felt her future calling there. In addition, there blossomed forth a large assortment of young human flow- ers for an operetta, Aunt Drusci1Ia's Garden.

Yes sir, Gloria Augustine spent most of her time in the movies with numerous fellows: her favorite saying was Oh Nuts , her pet peeve was her shape. Bud Agnew spent most of his time holding up the school walls with the Brute : he was captain of the marble team, so he said. Paul George Adams will long be re- membered for his length, his pet peeve was the senior girls, and he went around saying Der i fx meche madchen, death besser. Sinatra-fan, Mary lane Allan, used to wear black nail polish in those days and was seen most often with Glo and Dot. Bill Adams was having trouble with his Model A and milking cows: and Mary lane Almeter had just learned how to drive, her hobby was holding hands. Tom Bean was generally peeved by Grey- hound, consumed enormous amounts of food and had a snappy lil' car. Dana Baker, an avid ping-pong player, considered Mr. Corser his favorite personality. Bill Bannister was usually found in trouble with Don Eaton or Carl Schenne, making up nicknames for people. Don Beu was called Amoel in those days, had cauliflower ears, and a mountaineer's ac- cent. Lorraine Behen had dimples, wrote let- ters, and did Trig when she wasn't day dream- ing. Mibbie Booth spent most of her time in the Guidance Office doing her German.

We glided in for a three-point land- ing on the top of the E. A. H. S. of 1960 to meet other alumni of the Class of '45 for a big reunion. Walking down the Hall of Honor Cnow the width of the whole block, l00,000 honorary pictures covering the spacej, we recognized pictures of some of our fellow classmates such as Don Emil Beu, now an Admiral in the United States Navy and Bill Bannister, a machinist mate lfC5 also Zip Fowler, still training in boot camp at the Sampson Naval Base: too, we found that Mary Hotwes is wearing the navy blue, while Mary Iane Donahue is in the Marine Air Corp, as is William Heim. We noticed a very stylish young woman advanc- ing toward us. Overwhelmed by the clothing that she wore, we failed to recognize her as Nancy Fleischman, owner of The Nance, fashion shoppe on Fifth Avenue. We learned from her that other members of our class re- sided in the big city of New York. Sallie Morgan and Norma Denecke are at their home 1 for old ladies, where Sally sings her nightly lullaby to restless and lonesome ladies-while Norma Qstill being pursued persistently by playboy Roger Dean and his millionsD spends most of her time trying to grow longer eye- lashes. Sue Hamilton, also in New York with Hosie Bradley, has had her first book pub- lished, Exotic Poetry, and Rosie is the main soloist for The Symphonic Plumbers aided by Mr. Zeller, president of the organization. Mary Iane Booth has risen in fame since her first attempt in oil paintings, fifteen years ago, of Mr. Barber. Going down to the first floor, we were sur- rounded by a mass football team of little Beckys and Agnews, all attending Viola Weber's and Pauline Cufr's Nursery School in the Kindergarten Room. Sue Liebo1d's devilish twin boys also attend, while she teaches science in the upper grades.

Beyond our friendly rivalry, there is our deep respect and our hearty wishes for the success oi the next senior class. A sum- mary oi your accomplishments during the past three years proves that you have thus far achieved a record oi which to be proud. Miss Milacent Grimes and Mr. Iudson Hul- bert were your capable and understanding advisers during the freshman and sophomore years. Freshman president, Ed Vidler, piloted you through that year which was new and different. In the sophomore year, there were successful achievements of wide variety led by Iuli Andrews, president. This year the Dogpatch Shuffle, at which pins and a trophy were presented to the foot- ball team, symbolized your characteristic thoughtfulness. Under the leadership of presi- dent, Bob Donnor, and the guidance of Miss Rita McCann and Mr. Carlo Nisita the junior play, baked goods sales, four skating parties, and the prom have been recorded as success- ful. With a class of one hundred and seventy, the goal of bettering all previous achievements can be triumphantly realized. Carry on, Class of 1946. CilAYg7S OF CNICEETAECENLHUCNDRED AND FoRTY-Flve CLH55 0F '47 To the sophomore class which is in the prime of high school days, we say: Let your con- science be your guide. Profit by our loss and gain by our experience. Mr. Paul Zeller, Mrs. Eleanor Plain, and President Bob Hunt were your freshman leaders. This year has been one of bustling activity for you with the sponsoring of baked goods sales, a junior varsity dance, a class barn dance at Donovan's barn on Main Street, a square dance, and the spring fair. A class project worth recording was the house to house canvass for the March of Dimes, netting one grand total of four hun- dred and fifty dollars. Notable among the many, Hubert Stubbs has assumed respon- sibility as your class president during the past year. He has done a fine job for his class. We have seen you slowly becoming part of the vast body of upperclassmen in our school: we have felt your influence in student affairs. Already members of your class have distin- guished themselves in school activities and there is yet two more years of school left to you. You will be busy in the coming two years with dances, the junior play, baked goods sales, your yearbook and proms. But if you are as fortunate to be under the guidance of Mrs. Leland Austin and Mr. Paul Zeller as you were this year, your work will be magni- ficently accomplished. You can reach any ob- jective. Good Luck, Class of '47! CLASS OF NINETEEN HUNDRED AND FORTY-FIVE R .ae 5 Hb CLIISS 0F 48 Last but not least Class of 48 you will be the hopes and unfilled dreams of a post-war graduating class. During the coming years we shall look upon our Alma Mater with pride and joy knowing and realizing the traditions that will be memories are being carried out successfully by you. Under the understanding and inspirational advice of Mrs. Iohn Peek and Mr. Ralph White your goal to be a class that will leave a good record is assured. A class of one hundred and sixty members under presi- dent David Moore' vice-president Lura Kil- mer' secretary Ruth Mack' treasurer David Forden' and an executive board composed of lim Iackson Don Brown Duane Rosier Bill Roberts Marion Becker Kathryn Cooley Kay Holmes and Beverly Lawrence have helped to start the ball rolling by the direction of the candy sale in December. Members of your class have already proved to us that you pos- sess initiative and drive for carrying out your plans. Among the personnel lists of school functions we find that you have taken the jobs which lead to the top. For it will be your responsibility some day to manage as it is yours now to train for that management. Per- haps you dont feel important now but your importance will be shown in your usefulness to the school. For your future plans and in all that you do we the graduating class of 1945 want to wish the class of 1948 the best of luck always. CLASS OF N!NETEEN HUNDRED AND FORTY-FIVE .95 9, Fix?

ITIIIRHH me Junlon mv The story of a soldier-his experiences, his loves, and his friends,-was presented by us in March of our junior year. It was entitled The Eve of St. Mark by Maxwell Anderson. Shirley Smith and Howard Facklam were our leading characters with a majority of boys making up the supporting cast. Great were the experiences gained. Learning how to work with others will prove fruitful to us in later years. And great was the fun we had, with Roger running around dazedly with a chair in one hand and a lamp in the other. Miss Dillon, our very able director, playing taxi driver for the very tired cast: and Newk al- ways missing his cues because he was holding a consultation with approximately five girls backstage. We guzzled the cokes and those huge ice cream cones: and experienced the suspense at the last minute when we didn't know if Hammie would pull out of that cold or not. We know how much we learned: what friendships we gained, what thrills we knew when the first curtain went up! We shall all look back upon that play with the remem- brance of good fellowship and happiness.

ITIIIIED CHORUS From the midst of the Night Beiore Christmas suddenly floats the strains of the Spring Song. Don't be surprised, for it is only Maestro Zeller gently suggesting to his budding choral aggregation that all is not right. Once again the East Aurora High School mixed chorus is preparing for a successful season. The credit for the fine performance of the chorus is due to the excellent lead- ership of Mr. Paul R. Zeller. the perseverance of the members. and the faith- ful assistance oi the accompanist. Sally White. Recognition is also in order for the student soloists, too numerous to name, who have added their talents to the performances of the chorus. Music has been an important part of our school and community. It is hard to imagine the Christmas or Easter season without being grateful for the dignified beauty of the presentations which mark the performance of our mix- ed chorus. The quality of the numbers which are given and the excellence of their selection is a delight to all music lovers. Whenever the mixed chorus has appeared before the student body in as- sembly, they have received the rich and grateful applause which is due them. In this yearbook, we would like to continue that applause.

Every Tuesday evening come seven thirty, there drifts over the sleeping edifice strains of the finer music such as Schubert's Unfinished Symphony and Selections from Victor Herbert. It is the popular request that Robert C. Grant is weekly the guest conductor for the group of students and alumni. Not only is it a time of vigorous workout but one of relaxing enjoy- ment. One of many thrilling musical experiences was the one at the All-State program in Hamburg, November third and fourth, under the masterful direction of Doctor Harry A. King. We were proud to have as orchestra leader the vice-president of the New York State School Music Association. It is a moment of school pride when we see our orchestra before us in assembly. We are conscious of the many hours of practice that are behind the finished contribution. We are grateful for the opportunity offered in the privilege of learning to play orchestral instruments. We also bow to the versatility of the members of the orchestra who handle more than one instru- ment and participate in more than one musical organization. Without the orchestra, a specific air of school spirit would be lost. Definitely it is one of the greatest assets to our Alma Mater. Deserving of the finest recognition for upholding the school's musical standard and carrying on Music for Victory is Robert C. Grant whom we shall long remember.

During the past year their presence at football games and asseme blies has been a very important part of our school life. They rendered also valuable services to the community. Within the past year, the band played for bond rallies and other patriotic gatherings as well as adding to the success of the annual parades with their stirring music, bril- liant uniforms, and their precise maneuvers. This year the East Aurora High School was well represented at the All-State Sectional Band. Several soloists upheld East Aurora's traditional high stand- ing at the State Music Festival. In addition to these activities, the band highlighted its season with the an- nual winter and spring concerts. Sections of the band also played before various organizations, earning money for the Smokes for Soldiers Fund. All these activities, however, do not represent only one year's work. All senior band members have had at least one year of free instruction and most members had been in the band previous years. We, as students, have often taken the band too much for granted and have not fully realized the amount of time and effort spent by every member in preparing these performances. The success of the spring concert and the merited praise earned by the band and its conductor from the community and students is an indication ot the im- portance of the work which is being done here by the Senior Band.

The club was organized to help the girls get a better understanding of their problems, and to obtain reliable advice from persons properly informed. The meetings are held once a month, with guest speakers. The club is represented by members of the seventh to twelfth grades. It is the duty of the officers to plan the future programs, and to see that they run smoothly. These officers are Mary Io Bechtel, president: Mary Ellis, vice-president: Ianet Hoth, corresponding secretary: Margaret Hill, recording secretary: Phyllis Bolender, treasurer. New ideas, brought up at meetings, make interesting discussion. Our program for the year 1944-45 included a variety of activities. Among these were social functions, whereby the younger set became better ac- quainted with the older girls. At Christmas time, we were privileged to have as our guests, at a dinner party, the members of the East Aurora Board of Education. Other activities for the year included a demonstration on meat and cookery given by representatives of the Iroquois Gas Company. In May the girls gave a tea for their mothers. We are deeply indebted to Miss McCann and Mrs. Austin for their help and advice in organizing our club. They have taught us many things that will prove indispensable in our later lives.

A. as it is commonly known, is the national or- ganization of, by and for boys studying voca- tional agriculture in the public schools of the country under provision of the National Voca- tional Education Acts. The National F. F. A. was organized in 1928 and East Aurora Chap- ter received its charter in 1930. Our chapter has grown steadily until now we are tied with one other for the highest membership in the state. The war has limited our activities somewhat but in spite of that, and infantile paralysis, forty of our members made exhibits of their projects and entered judging contests at the Hamburg Fair. We succeeded in winning S175 in prize money, S25 of which went to the chapter treasury. We helped out in the milkweed pod gathering project to provide floss tor making life jackets for the Navy. Our supervised prac- tice activities helped in producing food for the war effort. Our members own 800 laying hens. reared 6200 day-old chicks, reared 40 calves, kept dairy herd improvement records on 180 cows, fattened 42 hogs, raised 26 acres of po- tatoes, 45 acres other field crops, reforested waste land with 10,000 trees, and purchased co-operatively 6800 pounds of certified seed potatoes. In our shop we repaired several pieces of machinery for nearby farmers. The activities have not all been work how- ever, for we have sponsored two community dances at South Wales which were well at- tended. We also held one party and game night in the school gymnasium. We plan to have a chapter picnic and play day before school closes this lune. Our officers for the year who have been responsible for carrying out our program are: President Donald Byers: Vice President Rupert Liebold: Secretary Iohn Witkop: Treasurer Walter Zittelg Reporter Dana Baker. Mr. Stod- dard has acted as adviser. The F. F. A. deserves recognition and respect by all for the part it is taking, in war and in peace, in preparing and educating the farmers of tomorrow.

To further promote its principles of service, leader- ship, character, and scholarship, the organiza- tion successfully inaugurated a new policy of greater participation in school functions under the capable assistance of adviser, Mr. Russell E. Corser. In early March, the chapter received addi- tional new members to augment a depleted membership resulting from the mid-year grad- uation of several men. The remaining mem- bers planned to continue the new policy through the second term in hopes of encounter- ing the same success it met in the sponsorship of the annual Christmas assembly. Unfortunately, as we go to press, the major contributions of the society to school life can- not be recounted. Nevertheless, the members have pledged themselves to uphold the tradi- tions of former years in the maintenance of the four basic principles and their projected intensification.

In East Aurora, our chapter is sponsored by the High School Highlights, and any senior who shows outstanding literary achievement in the school, or aids in the advancement of literature is able to join. The Quill and Scroll has sponsored such projects as the overseas edition of the Hi- 1ites for servicemen who are alumni of this school and the Blue and White, the semi-annual magazine of East Aurora High School. Organized in 1939, the Quill and Scroll has stood as a challenge to all stu- dent writers in East Aurora High School. Requirements for membership in- clude high scholastic standing, faculty recommendation, Quill and Scroll vote, and national acceptance by the Columbia Press Association Board of Iudges, which is based on a sample of the applicant's writing that has appeared in printed form. Present members are all outstanding members of the Highlites staff. They are Bette Hamilton, president: Sue Hamilton, Nancy Fleischman, Sallie Morgan, Mary lane Booth, Bill Nenno. Mr. Howard Hoover advises the group and Mr. Barber and Mr. Bumgardner are honorary members. The society is limited in its membership to juniors and seniors.

Bridgman Ingalls, Mr. Hoover Fourth Row: Thomas, Ruby Kenyon HIGH SCHO0L HIGHLIGHTS Familiar to all students is the Thursday afternoon call of High School Highlights. The popularity of this paper is easily seen by the avid hands that reach for a copy as the salesmen are surrounded in the halls. A school paper should be the symbol of its school and the voice of its stu- dents. We believe that High School Highlights fulfills both of these aims. Due to the diligence and initiative of the editorial and business staffs and their very competent adviser, Mr. H. Howard Hoover the Hi-lites not only satisfies the five hundred students who read it weekly, but the paper has won numerous awards in praise of its literary excellence.

Held at a magical time of the year. May 12, 1944, when the juniors realize that next year it will happen to them and the seniors realize that it's really goodbye, the Senior Prom was one of our momentous and memorable events. The west gymnasium was fragrant and gay with spring flowers which served to accentuate the theme of memor- ies which was so well brought out by Lenny Lewis and his orchestra. The climax of the evening was the crowning of the Prom King and Queen. A vote cast beforehand by the class had assured Charles Dye and Shirley Smith of the honor. After the crowning of the King and Queen and the presen- tation of their gifts, the whole audience joined in a Grand March. To Betty Iackson and Richard Sampson, Who Were co-Chairmen of the dance, we were indebted for one of the rnost successful social events of the school year.

Its purpose is to strengthen the work of the school in developing good sportsmanship and high ideals among contestants and teams and to promote and unify eligibility rules governing participation in interschool athletics. It is this ever-functioning board behind the scenes which paves the way for cordial and well-organized sports events. Members of the board consist of the superintendent, the principal, a member of the Board of Education, the head of the health and physical education department, all the coaches of participating teams, and as many other faculty members as are needed for the duties of finance, sales promotion, advertising, management, and other similar duties that the needs of the organization may demand. D The meetings of this board are held during the first week of each school month. At present, football, basketball, baseball, track, golf, and tennis are the approved sports functioning under the jurisdiction of the athletic board.

FO0TBIlLL East Aurora High's fightin' football eleven wound up their 1944 season with a champion- ship record of 4 wins, 2 ties, and l loss. The McNei1men ran up a grand total of 135 points to their opponents' 33, the best offensive record of any team in East Aurora sports history, be- sides placing second in the scholastic league. Charles Dye captained this year's contingent of record-breakers while completing his second straight year as first string fullback for East Aurora. Fleet-footed Bud Agnew proved to be the greatest record-smasher on the squad by crossing the final line stripe ten times during the season and accounting for six extra points to score an individual total of 66 points. Agnew also completed the longest run of the year when he galloped 95 yards against Canisius High on November ll. Right half-back, Iack Castle, was one of the hardest runners on the Auroran squad and raced 81 yards on a pass interception during the Depew game on Nov- ember 3 to bring up second place in the longest run class. Quarterback Ken MacManus called the signals for the Blue Devils during the entire season with the exception of the Canisius game when he was out with injuries. Linemen George Gunner, Bob Logel, Ioe Winters, Dave Brown, Bob Stockwell, Bill Little, Dave Kent, Tom Bean, Bob Halliday, Warren Boorum, Al- ton Fox, and Newk Steuart made up East Aurora's forward wall during the majority of the season with loe Winters, Bob Stockwell, Dave Kent, Bob Halliday, Warren Boorum, and Newk Steuart stepping into the limelight in- dividually throughout the season. lerry Smith and Tom Madigan filled in the backfield breeches while Cy Seifert, Paul Adams, Dick Sampson, Howard Facklam, loe McCormick, Bob Bean, Hank Iensen, Bob Donner, and Leo Smith also saw action during the year. Coach H. Lewis McNeil couldn't have had a better squad to fulfill his pigskin dreams. They opened the season at LeRoy and trounced the team 26-7, for the first victory any Auroran squad has experienced over a LeRoy eleven. Lancaster fell prey to East Aurora's blistering CLASS OF N!NETEEN HUNDRED AND FORTY-FIVE 77 attack 26-0 while the Blue Devils sank the Purple and White 37-l2 at East Aurora, for the first Blue and White victory over rival Hamburg in 0 two years. Then Gowanda came here to receive a 33-0 shellacking while Depew High held the locals scoreless. Then the McNeilmen nearly toppled previously unscored upon Canisius High in 14-13 tilt at the villa in a non-league encounter. The East Aurora line played their best game of the year and held the Hoya line in check although con- siderably outweighed. Amherst and East Aurora battled to a scoreless deadlock on November 18 to end the season. FO0TBllLL East Aurora ............ LeRoy ....... East Aurora ............

Their enthusiastic handling of the crowd of spectators at each game and their individual code of sportsmanship have brought honor and pride to our student body. They have coached us in our cheering and the learning of new yells: they have entertained us in the Pep As- semblies in which they appeared: and on the night of the big games, they came be- fore us directing our cheers for victory. The class of '45 would like to give three cheers for the cheer leaders. We think that they have done a wonderful job. Their ever- present pep and sincere attitude of good sports- manship have been an inspiration to us all. They have contributed a spirit to our class of which we're proud. Mary Io Bechtel, as head cheer leader, has proved herself worthy of all our admiration and praise. Nancy Hofmann, Hope Haller, Ruth Bennett, and Margaret Hise have done a magnificent job of raising our school spirit to its height. To Helen Persons, who is proof that some of the best things come in small packages, we would like to wish good luck in her next two years of cheering. To all of them, we would like to say Thank You, and we really mean it. CLASS OF NINETEEN HUNDRED AND FORTY-FIVE Third Row f- fH.

Captained by Bob Halliday and coached by Millard Red Henry the 1944-45 contingent of basketeers ran up a grand total of 520 points as compared with 415 scored against them. Bud Agnew and Dave Kent were the two high scorers for the Auroran squad with a total of 228 points tallied together. Agnew broke the E. A. H. S. individual scoring record set by Burton Gibby in 1941 when he scored a total of 181 points alone. Kent who led the in- dividual team roster with 47 points at the time of his entrance into the Navy, broke the single game record when he swished 27 points single- handed during the Lancaster game last De- cember. All but two members of the team were able to drop in baskets during the year as the locals concentrated on team play to capture third place in the Northern Erie County League.

Depew came here to receive a 44-33 beating on Ianuary 9, followed by a 38-22 win over Amherst. The next week East Aurora edged out a close 29-25 victory over last place Akron to finish the first half of the season undefeated and with a record of 291 points against the opponents' 194. The Aurorans started a downhill march at the beginning of the second half with a 18-24 loss to Pine Hill there and Hamburg had their revenge to the tune of 42-27 on February 2. Lancaster again fell 38-21 but Depew won over the Aurorans 47-44 in overtime play. Akron lost 36-21 before the Blue Devils journeyed to Amherst to lose 43-38 in a close contest.

TRIICH Coached by Millard Red Henry, the East Aurora High School cindermen captured three victories during the 1944 season and placed second and fifth respectively in Western Intermediate Conference meets held at Pine Hill and Kenmore. This was Coach Henry's first year as head track coach at East Aurora although he had twelve years of coaching experience at both North Kingsville and Austenburg, Ohio, previous to his appointment at East Aurora. The initial victory of the year was a three-way track meet between East Aurora, Amherst and Hamburg at Hamlin Park. East Aurora tallied 50 points with Amherst capturing 37 counters and Hamburg turning in a 28 point per- formance. The second victory for the Aurorans was staged at Hamburg where the Henrymen again defeated Amherst and Hamburg. East Aurora's third win was at Lancaster where the cindermen ran up a 60-point prize with the Red and Black scoring 34V2 points. The Western Intermediate Conference meets were held at Kenmore and Pine Hill. East Aurora scored llV4 and 33 points respectively at these meets. Lettermen for the year were Robert Bean, Tom Bean, Robert Conley, Niles Cox, Alton Fox, George Gunner, David Kent, Richard Leachy. lim MCC11iCh6O11, Don Rippey, Chester Schwab, Eliot Smart, Newk Steuart, Robert Stockwell and Ioe Winters.

Hoth GIRLS' SPORTS Even though school opened late, making a short field hockey and soccer season, we made the most of our favorite fall sports. We chose Ellen Hoth as our captain for the field hockey and soccer senior teams. Ellen and some of the other girls are skillful players in these sports, and then there are some of us who go to the field without dreaming that we could become excellent enthusiasts. We enjoy these sports because they are fun. We enjoy having one day a week that we can have ct game that is a riot if not a record for the book. Even if we're on the losing team, we like hav- ing the coke and gab session afterward. Our teams were not professional, but we think they were pretty swell. Our games were not always smooth but they were more fun that way-and made better memories. FK1D HOCHEV van Hoth mert, Lathrop First Row Bolender, Hana- Second Row B e c htel, A.

The three senior teams were captained by Peg Petrell, Lora Hudson, and Anne Keem. Of course, some of the girls knew how to bowl but there seemed to be more of the type who jumped and shouted and slapped their teammates when they made a strike. And there were some of us that might have been named Gutter Gertie with- out error. The Gutter Gerties furnished many laughs for the kids who knew what they were doing. Monday and Tuesday afternoons were re- served for basketball. Our senior captains were Priscilla Rathbun, Ellen Hoth, and Mar- garet Hill. The senior teams played a Round Robin tournament with the other high school teams, and did very well. Each girl showed the ability and spirit that makes a basketball game interesting to watch, as well as fun to be in there shooting.
