The Class of 1945 Four years ago this class of 1945 began its career as freshmen in Gowanda High School. Looking back, we find that for our first year in high school we elected the follow- ing officers: president, William Krebs: vice-president, Arthur Luine: treasurer, Genevieve Gelia: secretary, Katherine Gelia: and class adviser, Miss Glaser. Our main events were a get-acquainted barn dance held in the gymnasium and the all day excursion to Sunset Bay, which brought to a close our freshmen year. As sophomores our officers were: president, Walter Peters: vice-president, Arthur Luine: secretary-treasurer, Katherine Gelia: and class adviser, Mr, Hall. That's the year we had a picnic at Mentley's Grove. It rained off and on, but between showers we played baseball, ate and danced. Our junior year brought the Prom with its stardust theme and the crowning of Marion Dubaj as May Queen. On the last day of school, with the seniors as our guests, we cruised over to Crystal Beach. Most of us still thrill when we think of the breath-taking ride on the Cyclone . William Edwards was our presidentg Patricia Webster, secretary: Lottie Ligiecki, treasurer: and Mr. Scura, class adviser. It was during our junior year that we lost one of our fellow classmates, Robert Keller. We will always remember him as the rollicking lad whose irrespressible sense of fun led him into all kinds of mischief, the consequences of which he accepted good-naturedly with that irresistible grin which was so characteristic of Bob. This year, after electing Arthur Luine, president: Richard Rooney, vice-president: Harry Spencer, secretary: Marilyn Hubacher, treasurer: and Miss Glaser and Mr. Scura class ad- visers, we ambitiously started off on our magazine selling campaign which turned out to be quite a success. On December 1 we held a dance in the high school gym in honor of our foot- ball team. Our senior play, Seven Keys to Baldpaten, was presented on March 22 and 23 under the direction of Mrs. Simon. We enjoyed bringing to the public this combination mystery-comedy. With all this behind us, and with only regents and graduation ahead, we, the seniors of 1945, will soon be bidding farewell to our Alma Mater . We shall have a pleasant four years to look back upon. -8,-
