We have all cooperated to 'back the attack' .... We have bought several thousand dollars worth of war bonds. , . . We have brought in tons of paper for the drive and would even have been willing to sacrifice our textbooks for the good of the cause .... Most of us joined the Iunior Red Cross and a few of us have worked on the Red Cross Council which has carried through several important projects .... We have turned in our copies of the 'Blue and Gold' to be sent to our soldier alumni, who seem to have enjoyed fe- them tremendously .... C . 7 A What fun it was to walk out of class the day we all had our pictures taken. . . . af And when the pictures came, we spent the whole day trading them and laughing at those queer expressions the camera had caught .... There was the time Yehudi 5 'Q rang the firebell but we dutifully marched out anyway .... Even rationing had its 5 good points when it meant school was out sooner .... Every Friday morning for months, we were subjected to a blitz of spelling which downed most of us .... Oh, well, we still don't know how to spell 'toemain' .,.. What really cast a blight over our spirits was the Essay .... We heard so much about Latin America we haven't thought of it since .... If anyone had wanted a , definition of 'nightmare' we could have furnished it easily-a psychological test fits 1 the bill .... After filling in an inventory of 435 questions, many Seniors still haven't discovered their hidden talents .... Our Girl Reserves have initiated the McComb chapter of that organization .... The G. A. A. has taken charge of all girls athletics outside of gym classes. . . Together the Hi'Y and G. R. have sponsored a number of school dances .... The National Honor Society duly admitted a handful of new members into its midst with an impressive ceremony .... A large number of Seniors reaffirmed the scholastic standard of our school as shown by the results of the State Senior Scholarship Test .... One of our students won a high place in the nation-wide Science Talent Search, and another placed first in the state in the D. A.R. Good Citizenship Contest .... Many of us took the scholarship tests and surprised ourselves at the results. All of us breathed easier when our homeroom's chapel was over and we could sit back and enjoy the rest. . . . Most Chapels were based on a patriotic theme .... Many potential public speakers expounded their self-written speeches to our attentive ears .... ln addition to seeing several movies, we heard many interesting speakers on a wide variety of topics-Argentina, singing, Mexico and the new volcano, the art of writing, weather, and West Africa .... We haven't confined our activities to school hours .... There was the evening we held our breath while Mom and Dad had a nice C?j little chat with Teacher .... And the Hobo party in the gym when all the gals at the Mixer were certain of their futures after waiting for hours at Madam Knowallski's booth .... Another evening the Thespians entertained us with three super plays which afforded plenty of variety .... The Iunior Class play 'Lena Rivers' carried us back to the 'Gay Nineties' for three interesting hours .... The Senior play had more than its share of fun and suspense .... We enjoyed all three hours of the vocal Eisteddfod and were awfully glad we didn't have the adjudicator's job of deciding who was best .... 'Sweethearts' was far better than a movie and transferred us to technicolored land of song and romance for a few short hours .... And the Music Festival with all its choirs, large and small, ushered in the Christmas Season .... The boys who went out for sport are of the material from which heroes are made .... Our football team gave the impetus to our sports program for the year .... Although we didn't win every game, our team did a fine job .... The basketball team really went to town just as we expected .... lt completed an un- defeated season spectacularly .... The swimming team came out on top, so far on top, that they are now the State Champs, showing that teamwork is really what V 409595555 fq M F 4 'J N 153 Eat counts .... Our band, cheerleaders, and drum majorettes added the finishing touch to all our school games .... rpm 112 1 A 'AK ., ' - y 1 QA my I .h 4 Q N25 ' Mg 4955 QE QE x How proud we were of our orchestra and band the evening they gave a E concert for us .... Remember, they played a lot of our favorites-'Star Dust' and 'Holiday for Strings,' for instance .... Fi -: Our Art Department has a large amount of artistic talent as shown by the wonderful display at the Art Exhibit .... A few art students had the honor of demonstrating their method for the Northwestern- Ohio Teachers' Convention .... Many pieces of art were entered in the Scholastic Contest and justified our pride in them .... The event which was worth suffering through a whole year of school came at last, far exceeding our fondest dreams .... What was it?-The Prom .... The Senior Chapel completed our programs, and as the Senior President entrusted the Trojan plague to the Class of '45, l was very proud of my school, concluded the Trojan, because I am only the essence of its deeds and become just what the students of Findlay High make me.
