SENIOR CLASS OFFICERS President Edwin Miller; Vice-President—Martin Halleran; Secretary—Betty Jean Norman; Treasurer—William Gabarino; Reporter—John Swierupskie. To the Senior Class of 1949: Our class is about to go out in the world and distinguish itself. We are now at the crossroads of our lives. Throughout our elementary and high school curriculums, we have been more or less sheltered by the cloak of public education. An entirely different situation now confronts us. We now have to either pay for additional education or find some form of employ- ment. In both cases the requirement for ultimate success will be each indi- vidual’s own initiative. Looking back over the years we have already completed in school, we must duly realize that we have been given an excellent basic education. Our faculty advisors have endeavored, in every way, to see that we received the greatest benefits from our studies. They have done their job well. Now the time has come when we must do our part. We should all remember that many people have placed their trust and confidence in us, and we cannot fail them. It is our duty to carry out still further the fine principles which we have learned in school. Let us make the Class of 1949 one to be proud of. Your president, EDWIN MILLER.
