SOPHOMORE CLASS Our second year of defense work is nearing its end and our factory ceases its busy humming for our long awaited vacation. Our foremen were: John Henry, manager, and Mary Isgro, Ella Barker, Shirley Phelps. Inspectors were: Miss Fitzpatrick, Miss Canavan, Putt” LaMay and Mr. Sweet. We put 10% of our pay in war stamps and did a good job. We had few absentees at our war plant this year and were we eager for departure when the noon-hour whistle blew and the shift was over. Our homeroom teachers, Miss Smith, Miss Sullivan and Mr. Miller, worked hard blowing off steam to keep us in order and they were usually successful. Our cheerleader, Joyce Ormsby, did much to keep up our morale during our busy year. We took time off from work to give a Halloween party. All the employees and employers attended, including welders and riveters.

JUNIOR CLASS When the whistle blows, the cream of the crop (the class of ’45 which is just one big happy union working for victory) lines up to win the Army-Navy E award. In our first year on the assembly line, we sponsored a Christmas Party. During our second year we staged a Halloween Party. This year we have really settled down to hard labor under the capable leadership of our Forewoman Ruth Smith, assisted by Josephine LaSarso, Dorothy Reid, Charlotte Rosa, and Ursula Neuhaus. In the fall of ’43, to keep up the morale of all the workers, we sponsored a social after the Whitehall football game. On Valentine’s evening we gave a party in honor of all the factory workers who had gone to serve Uncle Sam or who were due to leave soon. We ordered our class rings in the early fall, but due to war conditions they were unusually late in arriving. Although our numbers have been seriously depleted because of Uncle Sam’s call to arms, we hope to equal and surpass all other classes which have graduated from Fort Edward High Factory.

FRESHMAN CLASS After graduating from the Junior Division to the Main Plant, we were eager to begin our shift on the assembly line. We elected officers from among our employees. Those elected were John Peter Symthe as General Manager, Raymond Pashby as Assistant General Manager, Arthur Toole as Recording Clerk and Edward LaClair as Financial Inspector. Gerald Dickinson was elected to the plant’s Student Union. Unfortunately our General Manager has left to work in a larger factory and his assistant has joined the Navy, so we are now without leaders. We enjoy taking an active part in producing finished products from our plant and are looking forward to better jobs next year.
