Page Fourteen On the eventful day of Sep- tember 22, 1941, 130 strong, the class of '45 entered the great doors of Healdsburg High. We were welcomed at the Freshmen Reception during our first week here, and although we thought that being freshmen was some- thing big,'l we were shown that we were just freshmen. The majority of the class took active parts in sports, activities, and all . dances, and gave a Freshmen Assembly in january of '42. Our class officers were Presi- dent, Woodie Wattlesg Vice-president, Lila Rulofsong Secretary, Sue Rickman, Yell Leader, Billie jo Bennett, Student Council Representatives, jackie Tanner and Ida Armstrong. SENIOR HISTORY The year '42 rolled around and we could mark one year down to the good, with three A huge success of the year was our own Dance-The more years to look forward to. Sophomore Hop. The theme chosen was Twiterpated. We were really proud of the dance, as it was our first. We also presented an old-fashioned vaudeville show as our class assembly. Class officers were President, Robert Bledsoe, Vice-president, Bill Foote, Secretary, Lila Rulofsong Yell Leader, Doreene Whiteg Student Council Repre- sentatives, Gloria Nicoletti and Billie jo Bennett. Upper Classmen at Last!! What a feeling-No more lower classmen stuff-Can't push us around anymore. Our first social event of the year 1943 was the Halloween Dance given in October-with the woozie', as the center of attraction. Our first great problem this year was the raising of money for the junior-Senior Prom. As a class of bright juniors we decided upon a city-wide rag drive. The proceeds totaled over 3551. Much time, work, and preparation were put into the junior-Senior, which was held in june in the atmosphere of a Chinese Tea Garden. Again we could claim our dance as another successful event put on by the class of '45, The junior girls won the basketball inter-class championship, and the boys were instrumental in bringing about the many successes of the varsity teams. Official yell leaders, drum major, and leader of the drum corps were chosen from the junior class. Class officers were President, Eddie Byrn, Vice-president, Bob Lebsack, Secretary, Shirley Bauer, Yell Leader, Shirley Batt, Stu- dent Council Representatives, Betty Owen and Doreene White, Merit Committee Rep- resentatives, Doreene White, Elmo Petrocchi, and jackie Tanner. As in all of our years in H. H. S., the senior girls defeated the senior boys in the sale of student body cards. As a result, the boys, with Bob Lebsack as head man and under the leadership of Mr. Osborn, gave a SUPER roast dinner fthanks to the Senior Boys' Moms, that cooked the dinnerj A three-piece orchestra gave out with the music between courses. Good, too!! Senior advisers and faculty members were also present. The evening ended with the annual Senior Dance. The theme of the dance was a Snowing Christmas Scene. Senior Dress-up Day gave the seniors a good excuse to relax. Not that we needed it! What Characters! Caps and Gowns seemed to rule the class after several Usteamed-up meetings. We are anxiously awaiting the arrival of june 14, when we will leave H. H. S., never to forget the times-good and bad-we had in school. Senior class officers were President, Bob Lebsackg Vice-president, Harold Morehouse, Secretary, Bette Morgan, Student Council Representatives, Allan St. Clair and Frances Hall, Dan Cardinotti and Jean McDowell, Yell Leader, Harold Brown, Merit Committee Representatives, Doreene White, Eddie Byrn, Shirley Batt and Harold Brown. As we leave H. H. S., we wish to express much gratitude to Miss Destruel and Mr. Osborn for the fine help they have given us as our advisers.
