Sophomore History 'Way back in 1939 a new class hit the bottom of J.C.J.G.ls intellectual heap. This was the present scphomore graduating class. We spent all of that year accustoming ourselves to our new surroundings. In our junior year we began to develop. we con- tributed high-ranking scholars and fine athletes.We , were doing fine until near the end of the year when We threw traditions away, and had a picnic for the seniors. This has gone into the records as the pop bust , an affair that will be long remembered. Along came 1941 with all the power that belongs to the graduating class. We did all right that year, too. We took tests, produced a play, and had a pic- , n10 that we'll never forget,as Well as a famous skip day. This class was the last to have enjoyed that privilege. H II A number of us decided to venture upstairs . This group was augmented by out of town and St. Peter's graduates. we certainly found things differ- ent as we studied night after night and still didn't seem to be able to learn. However we still found time to furnish all but one member of the upper divi- sion basketball team. i This year we were unfortunate to lose to the armed forces our original class officers,Bill Mont- gomery, Ralph Rose, and Jack Mullen. In addition to these men we lost Raymond Shoop, Jr.; Wilfred Raithel, and Ernest Tietjen. Our class sponsor, Mr. Hagar, became Captain Hager of the Marine Corps. Now we graduate again. In the minds of most of us the upper division will remain tops in our memory.

Senior History The Senior Class of 1945 is quite distinguished since it is from the class of '43'thet the govern- ment took its first eighteen-year-old draftees. Ours is the first class to graduate into the Army or Navy almost en masse. We' re the class.which was handed from dean to dean.We're the class which went to four high schools; we're the class that produced Sprin Fever, and the one With almost no boys for The Importance 2i Being Earnest. We produced more than our share of celebrities: football players, basket ball heroes, singers, mesi- cians, actors, and speakers. It's too early to know now, but from the chemistry classes a chemist may yet emerge. It was during our reign that a democratic student council first began to function. we revived, too, the fine custom of the juniors giving a dance to the seniors. And who will ever forget the Barn Dance or the Junior-Senior Dance of '42? Our officers have always been a point of pride. Our freshman president was Roy Payne;vice-president, Caroline Fischer;secretary, June Norfleet; and Toots James, treasurer. In our last year at Junior High, Margaret Claiborne was president, ari Dean Mitchell was vice president.John Von Der Bruegge was treasurer. When we came to Junior College,Dean was elected pres- ident, L. B. Lake vice-president, and John Von Der Bruegge secretary-treasurer. Something new was add- ed with the class election of Mary David Rootes and Ralph Catlin to the Student Council. We were a fine class, and we had lots of fun, and a class such as we are should really do things. So hurray for the class of '45!
