lfemcffried +++ Through all the years together, We've loved and laughed and livedg We've shared our joys and triumphs, Our heartaches and our tears. We've worked and played together. Undaunted and untiredg Through all these years of happiness. Our thoughts with love inspired. We'lI always remember with pleasure Everything-both lost and wong And regrets will rush up to meet us For things unsaid and undone. And now as we go to meet life With the knowledge acquired by the way We'll lift our heads high with pride That we worked for this-today. As the years lengthen out behind us, And memories grow vague and dim, The ones spent here will brightly shine- Nothing can hinder them. And so we say goodbye, To five years-conquered and won, Though in our hearts we hate to leave, Lifeis really just begun.

History of class of '45 By Charles Young, Jr. As the sun shone brightly in September, it came the day, when we as the Class of 1945 came over to Hopkinsville High School. We had been told horrible tales about Mr. Petrie and the school. We were told that this was a place to run to classes and crawl to lunch. During the first year at Hopkinsville High School, none of the class dil anything of ary im- portance. A few of the boys went out for the B Tcam in football. The first year having past we were now freshmen. This was anothor step toward our completion of a high school education. As the year passed some of us tried to make life hard for the teachers but we soon learned to like them and listen to their advice. This year finally hav- ing passed it was time for our summer vacation once again. During the summer we had forgotten almost all that we had ever learned. The day once again came to start back to school. This year the class was very happy because they were entering senior high. The girls be- came very disappointed because they found out to their amazement that they could not talk and gossip in the study hall. Big George Claiborne made the varsity this year and the class was very proud of him. A Very good friend and teacher of our class left the summer of 1942. This was Coach Ralph Mills who entered the Armed Services. He was a splendid coach and we know he is giving a good account of himself in the Air Corps. The coaching was taken over by Coach Oak- ley Brown, than whom there is no better. No one was here to help him at the first of our prac- tices, One day while practicing, a sleek young man, Mr. Chris Cox, came as our assistant coach. He developed a very logical nickname, Wolf, as he was seen to flirt with the girls. A number of the boys of this class made the varsity this year. George Claiborne and Butch Jones made the first team varsity. Others on the varsity were Hal Johnson, Julius Morris, Dan Stone, Charles King, Luther Guier, Ed Owen, Al- len Tharpe, and Charles Young. We are proud of the team having won the Western Kentucky Conference Championship. George made All- State this year. It was again time for the tapping service of the National Honor Society. Those chosen were Bet Gardner, Mary Sue McWhirter and Alice King. The light shown very brightly on their faces. As the year came to a close many students played with the band for the graduation exer- cises. They were Anne Melton, Mary Henry Duncan, Mae Word and Charles Young. This brings our junior year to a close. The football boys came to find Coach Brown had gone. He went to Louisville. Our assistant coach, Mr. Chris Cox took his place. His brother, Mr. Cliff Cox, came to help him. The football team also achieved great fame this year by winning the Western Kentucky Con- ference Championship again. Big George made All-State once more with Charles King receiv- ing honorable mention. Class officers were elected on a bright sun- shiny day. They are: President ............... .................. HAL JOHNSON Vice-President ............., LAVERNE JONES Secretary ......... .... . DOROTHY ANN WOOD Treasurer .............. ............. ....... B R OOKS MAJOR As the year passed it was again time for the tapping service of the National Honor Society. Those chosen were: Mary Tandy Lacy, Anne Melton, Ed Owen, Brooks Major and Charles Young. One day upon entering Trig class, Miss Juanita instructed us that we should exchange rooms with Mr. Gardner. She exclaimed that maybe you can work eighth grade arithmetic. As the time fleets by before the sunset on our high school education a few boys went out for the track. These boys were: Dan Stone, Ed Owen, Julius Morris, George Claiborne, and Charles Young. During this era of war, many of the students from this high school have gone into service. They went into service in order that we at home could work on as we have always. Among this class many boys are entering service after graduation. These boys are enter- ing service in hopes that the future classes will be able to graduate in a peaceful world. Laverne Jones is entering the air corps, George Claiborne and Paul Stadelman, the armyg Charles King, Hal Johnson, William Barnes, Garnett Moss, Dan Stone, Claude Petrie, Julius Morris, and Charles Young, the Navy. These boys are going to the call of the colors instead of finishing their education. They, as a whole, deserve all the credit that it possible. We are proud of you and all of Hopkinsville High School salutes you. As the Class of Nineteen Hundred and Forty- Five graduates, we pray that the next class will graduate into a world of peace and love for their fellow neighbors. When the school's last lesson is mastered, And the classes are tested and trieclg When the stupidest student has vanished, And the dullest has stepped aside,' We shall rest-and, faith, we all need it! We shall rest a moment or two, Till the wonderful School of Experience Shall set us to worlc anew! Then those who have gone shall be happy: They shall pass through life's higher grade: They shall face the world's difficult problems With countenance unafraid: They shall pass through each test as they meet it At the sounding of duty's stern call: They shall work every day-when they have to- And never be tired at all! And only the big world shall praise us, And only the big world shall blame, Though we worlc for the joy of the winning, And climb up the pathway of fame: For each in his separate calling, His separate thought must express, As he follows the gleam as he sees it To the goal that to him means success.
