CEAS Sel a@ ned As we, the seniors of the class of 1945, look back to the beginning of our high school career, we begin to realize what accomplishments we have gained in these last four years of school. We are thankful to have had willing and helpful teachers who always gave use great opportunities to advance our knowledge and find our places in the world. On August 27, 1942 a group of Freshmen dared to enter a school of higher learning which we though would be more than we could undertake because it would be different from the regular routine of grammar school. We were ex- pected to make out a schedule for a day’s work. We were already learning some- thing new; “How to figure things out for ourselves.” But with the aid of Miss Sara Wellman and Miss Mary Fletcher we soon became accustomed to our new tasks and surroundings. From the very beginning our aim was to grow and in- crease in wisdom until we reached that final goal as high school graduates. A few of our classmates had already become members of school activities. After getting a good start in our first year we were advanced to a higher class xalled sophomores. As our advisors, we had Mrs. M. C. Barnhardt, Jr., and Miss Martha Miller. Having once been high school students themselves they understood and led us through another successful year. Our spirits were high as we com- pleted half of our four-year course. With a grand new year ahead of us, we began to strive hard to be good Jun- iors as we would soon be leaders of the school and we must set a good example. We sure must have lived up to the old name of “jolly Juniors” because everybody was in fine spirits. Our leaders were Mrs. M. C. Barnhardt, Jr., and Miss Edith Chambers. In order to finance a Junior-Senior banquet given by the Juniors an- nually, a play entitled “Bound to Marry” was presented to obtain funds for the occasion. The informal banquet was held in the gymnasium on April 14, 1944. The pirate theme was carried out with the Senior’s fortunes hidden as the pirate treas- ure. With many of our class taking responsibilities to carry on the duties of our high school we at last were at the top. To lead us through the final year our advisors were Mrs. J. L. Sowers and Miss Anne Cress. We were assigned full duties which are given to the Seniors. All these were carried out favorably to the end. Now as we come to the close of those four happy years, our faces and hearts turn to the future. A glorious future in which this generation will take a leading part in world affairs and making peace among all nations. As we have persevered through high school tasks, may we always keep that perseverence throughout our future tasks. Naomi Brown, Class Historian
