10 THE ECHO CLASS HISTORY By Barbara Hogan The class of 1945 entered the awaiting arms of high school in September, 1941. They were standing cn a pedestal. They were Fresh- men! Senior, juniors, and sophomores just knocked them about like so many little dwarfs, and those cruel teachers seemed to think they had nothing to do but work, work, work. Naturally, they learned all the tactics and techniques of high school from those professionals who also had gone through the same torture. Mr. Hodge put up with the eighteen college students while Mr. Nevins tamed down the twenty-seven commercial pupils. The only excitement during the year was being on the outside looking in on the Junior Prom, Senior Play, and other main events. Everyone said, “Wait until we’re up there. We’ll outdo them all.” Their first experience in politics was the election of class officers : Richard Proverb, president; Marion Chaplic, vice-president, Eileen Mangott, secretary; Therese Mack, treasurer; Russell Colby and Geraldine Clifford, Student Council representatives. June soon rolled around, and the summer vacation came. Next year they would be sophomores ! So sophomores they were in September 1942. They came in with the idea that this year they would be the cream of the crop, but their upperclassmen still said, “Not yet !” This year they gained three new classmates: Rita Audette, Ann Berg, and George DeYoung; however, the loss of Elizabeth Reid, Jane Doble, Francis Thomas, Walter Grant, Richard Proverb, John Waldo, Marion Chaplic, and Donald DeWolf made their class much smaller. Officers this year were Thomas Veale, president; Robert Bettle, vice-president; Madeline Johnson, secretary, and Therese Mack, treasurer. Russell Colby and Geraldine Clifford were still representing them in the Student Council. The Sophomore assembly was the most stupendous assembly of the year. Yes — they were starting to blossom out. Many of them attended the Junior Prom, but they still said, “You haven’t seen any- thing yet!” Summer came in, and they were off to a carefree vacation. Juniors! They couldn’t believe it. At last they were upperclass- men. The ball started rolling with the election of officers in Septem- ber with Ruth Lucas as president, Barbara Hogan as vice-president, Eileen Mangott as secretary, and Madeline Johnson as treasurer. Student Council members were Geraldine Clifford, Thomas Veale, Charlotte Dyer, and Russell Colby. The class was now even smaller with the loss of Lillian Sanfillipo, Joyce Colburn, Ann Berg, Rita Audette, Irving Swenson, Horace Upham, Malcolm MacDonald, and Elmer Goodnow. Furthermore, Charles Richardson and Leslie Chandler had entered the U. S. Navy. It was a small class, but a superb one, united under the leadership of Miss Anna Damon. A musical assembly was held, and according to
