 CLASS HISTORY The present day Senior Class started on the upward trend of education in 1940. At that time the class consisted of twenty-one members but since then quite a few have dropped out to either find employment or attend schools elsewhere. In September 1942 the class organized and elected Morris Sowle as president; Daniel Collins-vice-president; Mary Orrey-treasurer; and Dnrothy Sherman-secretary. Miss Schwem was elected class advisor and with her untiring patience and help, the traditional Galway Piper was pub lished. Editor-in-chief Mary Cwiakala and Business Manager Morris Sowle aided Miss Schwem in supervising the production. In the latter part of June 1943, the class held the annual Junior Prom in the High School auditorium, with the Merrymakers furnis hing music. Eleanor Podhajecki and Mary Orrejr were the Junior Marshalls. At last 111 1944 has arrived. Though our members dwindled from twenty-one to five, we remaining, don't regret our desire to leave the G. H. S. portals with diploma s. This year's officers are; president - Morris Sowle; vice president - Dorothy Sherman; treasurer - Mary Cwiakala ; secretary - Mary Orrer; and publicity manager -Eleanor Podhajecki. A sight-seeing trip in New York City has been planned but no definite date has been set. Sufficient funds have been raised by the sale of magazines and Christmas cards and it is planned to increase the treasury by giving a spring entertainment. S 2 C Daniel Collins and Corporal Harold Cornell were members of the class of '44 but are now in the service of the United States. Eleanor Podhajecki
