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. BARBER, Principal CLASS OF NINETEEN HUNDRED AND FORTY-FIVE

L Front Row: Mrs. Maytham Mr. Price, Mrs. Moore, Mrs Brewer. 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.
