,N ' We, the seniors, bid our last farewell to Helena high. Through storm and strife, peace and tranquillity, it has woven its influence into the graduates as firmly and trustworthily as the Rock of Gibraltar. Our present huilding was constructed in 19235 and reconstructed in 19537. Thousands of students haxe passed through its doors since, this year opening for 800. Today all who have graduated from our school have a real affection for it. It has been a stepping stone and a home of higher education. Now, the seniors, in leaving, mark a great turning point in their lives, and whatever success we achieve in future years will be largely due to our high school training. ... ..,.,,,..,.,.-..,-,, v -,.

Class Histor The class of 1944 entered High School with about 240 members in 1940. Since then we have lost some members and gained others. Our class presidents have been Vivian Heiser, Freshmang Robert Hawkins, Sophomoreg and Connie Eckhardt, Junior and Senior. In our four years in High School we have sponsored a number of dances all of which we are proud to say have been successful. The theme of our Junior Prom which was given May 1, 1943, was the deck of an oceanic liner. The annual Senior Barn dance was held at the Old High Gym, November 24, 1943. We won the Vigilante cup in our Freshman year. This cup is given to the class with the most entries in the Vigilante Parade. We were the first Freshman class to achieve this honor. Many members of our class will not be present at graduation because they are now serving in the armed forces and many will follow shortly after. While I write this brief history many of our class mates are making our future history. AUDREY WENDEL.
