Something which will long remain in our memory is the Junior Prom. Remember how the decorating committee struggled for two whole days with blue crepe paper streamers and broken wires to create the sky effect? When the great moment finally arrived, the blue crepe paper, the flowers, ferns and Spanish dancers had been arranged to give a beautiful effect. The auditorium had been converted into a flowering Spanish scene. To this day, there remains a trace of a large blue spot in the middle of the iioor. This is a mark left by the class of 44 , when the clean up committee tipped over a large vase of water on a huge pile of blue crepe-paper!! One of the biggest events of the year was the Minstrel Show which was written and directed by Mr. Stuart. Many of our class took part in this show. Some were black end men, some played in the band and many of the girls sang in the glee club. This show, which was noted for its genuine corn, was enjoyed by all. Several members of our class played in the dance orchestra which was organized this year and played for our class assembly. Of course the junior year meant class rings. These were hard to get but by putting in an early order most of us managed to get one. Our junior class officers were: President, John Sclavosg Vice-President, Jane Martenisg Secretary, Nancy McCoolg Treasurer, Kenneth Bouchelle. It was with a feeling of pride that we reentered the halls of E. H. S. in September of 1943, since we were now dignified OJ seniors. This year we were divided according to the course we were taking. Commercial students went to the commercial department under Miss Benton and academic and general students went to the senior home room under Miss Bowers. One of our first problems as a class was to elect the officers to carry us through our final year. After much deliberation we chose the following class executives: President, Edmund Pratt, Vice President, Barbara Evansg Secretary, Lillie Scottg Treasurer, Kenneth Bouchelle. ,Later the class of 44 decided to publish a year book. This being the first undertaking of its kind in Elkton High School, it met much discouragement. Despite many difficulties we proceeded with our plans and results have been quite successful. The Senior Prom was held on the fourteenth of January. This being the last big dance by our class, we planned elaborate decorations. The theme was Winter Time . When our efforts to build snowmen and borrow a sleigh failed we resorted to snow- covered trees and a starry sky. With the aid of pine trees, blue crepe paper, silvery iiitter and soap, plus many hours of hard work, a realistic effect was produced. A very pleasant evening was danced away in this winter fairyland to the music of George Feary's Sailor Orchestra. After this we turned again to hard work and plans for graduation. It was necessary to make preparations early because of unsettled world conditions. Graduation announcements and name cards were the first to be ordered. Then came commencement gowns. Our selection of white gowns for the girls and blue for boys broke the E. H. S. tradition of gray. Many high lights for the senior class have yet to come. One of these will be the Spring Prom given us by the juniors. In the final rush of events before graduation will come the sermon to the graduates, class night, and the commencement which will terminate our high school careers. 3 'Page Thirty-Seven
