We all came with the expectancy of having the honor of the senior room . How- ever, we were soon separated, the boys in the auditorium and the girls in room 2. In the course of the year, we have lost eight of our classmates, three of whom are in the Navy and two in the Army. The class elected their oflicers for the year soon after school opened. They were: Presi- dent, Keith Cunningham: Vice-President, Charlene Stedman: Secretary, Joyce Plumer: and Treasurer, Beverley Wood. We seniors finally had our turn at officiat- ing at an initiation. The freshman were the victims on October 27. We could sympathize with them with vague memories of our own agonies four years ago. However, they re- ceived what was due with no partiality. We repaid them by the annual Freshman Recep- tion in the evening. The proceeds from the reception were 31328. Our class is well represented in school ac- tivities. Those participating are: Victory Corps Council: Keith Cunningham, Helen Moore, Charlene Stedman, Leslie Sher- burne, John Gee, and Joyce Thompson. Boys' Glee Club: Earl Cully, John Gee, Ivan Crocker. and Leslie Sherburne. Girls' Glee Club: Helen Moore, Beverley Wood, Baralbra Ross, Joyce Plumer, Hazel Devereaux, Virginia Inman, Nettie Withee, and Grace Roberts. Orchestra: Keith Cunningham, Charlene Stedman, and Ivan Crocker. Boys' Basketball: Earl Cully, Leslie Sher- burne, and John Gee.

La figure centrale est Jean Valjean, le forcat, le manufacturier et le philanthrope l'homme qui rembounse le mal pour le bien. A le commencement de l'historie Jean Val- jean etait un forcat qui venait d'elargi d'une prison.

we feel safe in drawing the conslusion that our play was at least a moderate success. In all seriousness, we hope the audience enjoyed the play as much as weenjoyed putting it on. Flaws can be found in the greatest of works, as the philosophers say. Considering this statement as tru-e, I'm sure the mistakes in our great work were disregarded. We did have a few slip-ups, it must be admitted. Our sound eifects were slightly off at times. The play called for the sound of banging wa- ter pipes at various intervalsf No one, except Miss Clifford, seemed to know just when the pipes began and ended their noiseg unfortu- nately, she was on the opposite side of the stage from the noise maker. So, if anyone no- ticed the stage properties being heaved back and forth or heard any peculiar noises, it was only Miss Clifford notifying the pipe ham- merers that it was time to hammer. The play was so funny, they coulldn't be bothered to watch the book! Broadly speaking, the iirst and second acts passed: off well. I might add that upon the ending of the second act, one half of the audience was observed to be still awake. The .third act introduced numerous diiiiculties which confused us' players considerably. We managed to iumble the ldialogue so comnletelv that Miss Clifford was in a dither. Using an excess of ingenuity, we adlibbed ouselves in- to a pretty mess. Frankly, on a few oecasions we were left with our mouths Wide open, honing an appropriate sound would form it- self automatically. To be truthful it wasn't that bad, We ended on the right beat. Because of illness in the cast. we had to substitute. Due to this and other circum- stances, Cully found himself 'blessed with .three wives anid the nossiblity of a fourth! As much as anyone, Gladys should be compli- mented for doing so well the 'nart of Mrs. Cokes on just twenty-four hours' notice! We'er still wondering why John fitted into the roll of a nut so well. Was it. perhaps. that one last spree 'before the Navy scrubbed him down? And we were sorry that Ina Cook's illness kept her from appearing in our mas- terpiece. Confusion and all. we had heaps of fun presenting Adam's Evening . Joyce Plumer, '44 JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY The class of '45 entered its third year of studies on October 4, 1943.
