H. S. Each of us has been prepared in our chosen field to enter the business world or to go on to further education. We have, as the classes before us, waded through the Ancient Mariner ’ Monsieur Beaucaire,” Julius Caesar,” and Mac- beth.” Besides, we have lost sleep over the Junior Prom and the Senior Ball. As we are just an average group, we can not list long lines of the out- standing deeds we have done, but what we can say is that we have enjoyed our stay, no matter how we havecomplained, and we leave with a slight pang of regret. Clifford Bookstaver, LeRoy Burgess, Harry Gleckler, Ralph Henne, Stanley Knudsen, and Joseph Supper were not present at our graduating exercises, as they entered the armed forces during the years of war. Robert Matschat made the supreme sacrifice. While these boys did not graduate with us, we think of them as valued members of our class. Humble, docile, and of average intelligence, we lay no claim to having been an exceptional group, but we were always the proud wearers of the orange and black.”

OUR JUNIORS They march and sing aloud a triumph song.” This line from the school song can be well used to describe the Junior Class. They work as a united body and they sing triumphantly because they have, by their cooperation, been successful in many ways. In the course of the year, they made their Guid- ance Night a sparkling success, and after much hair-pulling and chewing of fingernails, they put over the Junior Prom, which was a bang-up affair. A number of the Juniors managed to get on the Honor Roll, but not without many a grey hair over chemistry. These students have had a grand record as Juniors and when they become Seniors they will assuredly carry on the traditions of Hicksville High and will be a class of which we can be proud.
