FOUR YEARS WITH THE CLASS OF 45 41-42 One of the best freshman classes started in l94l. We all agree with this especially when we think of work OJ. ln our freshman year, we remember doing about the usual things. To begin with, we elected officers: President-Harold Caswell, Vice-President- Gerald Stimson, Secretary-Edwin Naslund, Treasurer-Ioyce Hine. We held the skating party at the usual place-Celoron Park, just average school kids. 42-43 Our soph year started off with a bang and we were all very much determined to make good use of our valuable time. Ronald LeRoy was elected President, with Delores Kolstee, Vice-President and Helen Swanson, Secretary-Treasurer. Square-dancing had become the fad and our dances and skating parties seemed to have been enjoyed by all even though there was an inadequate supply of males. However, we know now that we gained much knowledge by experience which helped us to more ably play our roles as 43-44 Becoming Iuniors, we felt rather prominent. Here was the year our headaches began. To start our job well, we elected Dick Nunn, President, Ioyce Hine, Vice-President, Gene Bloomquist, Secretary, Dorothy Forbes, Treasurer. We were happy to find that so many fellows were learning the art of cutting a rug. We appreciated the fact that all the kids were supporting our class by attending our dances, theatre and skating parties. Then on a beautiful night in Iune, the date of that long-awaited Iunior-Senior Prom arrived. We enjoyed a chicken dinner and afterwards, we danced to the irresistible music of Pat Nor- man. The girls made their appearance in lovely gowns and the boys looked sharp in sport jackets with light pants. lt seemed like a dream to think that by the next year we would 44-45 How could one help noticing those boys and girls strutting around with brilliant faces and looking so important? Of course they were no other than our intelligent, indispens- able seniors. We used very good judgment in our selection of officers. Our capable Maur- ice Phillips held the office of President: Delores Kolstee, Vice-President: Patsy Nelson, Sec-- retaryg and Ioe DeMarco, Treasurer. The majority of Seniors were employed part time or on weekends. They proved to be efficient in lessening the acute labor shortage. Then on a cold night in December, the first, the Senior Plays were presented to a capacity crowd, The plays were entitled, Pink for Proposals and The Brave Shall Serve. Due credit is attributed to Mrs. Redfield, director, the superb casts, and the committees for the success of the play. We appreciated the play supper treat given to us by the advisors and play director. Uncle Sam seemed to have his eyes cast on the men of the class. Frank Gatto, Gerald Stimson, and Stuart Barnes left to join the Armed Forces. We again attended the lunior-Senior Prom as guests, rather than hosts. The Seniors say Au Revoir and the best of luck to all. Iuniors. be Seniors. THE POST GRADUATES MARY LOU MARGARETTE IUNE ARMSTRONG OLSEN MARTIN 27
