Adding more vim, vigor, and vitality, we sponsored the biggest financial success in ages - the Franklin Rally. It was a wow , with Sully as general chairman. Another undertaking to fatten the treasury was the first costume play in about fifteen years, presented by class dramatists - The lNliser 'by llloliere. Then, discarding their speaking roles, the class actors showed off their musical talent by participating in the operetta, The lWikado. At an assembly in February the Service Plaque was reverently dedicated to our boys in the service. lllanyof our own boys sitting among us were even then privates in the Air Corps. To show them our support, during the Fourth VVar Loan Drive our class contributed 34,114.35 to the school total of 59,498.55 Four from our class went to the Sl,OO0-a-plate bond dinner at the tavern. In advance, we had elected in the spring of '43 our senior officers: Harry Bryant, president, Charles Sheehan, vice-president, lNIary Lou Smith, secretary, Nan Sullivan, treasurer, Nancy Head, representative, John Luneau, alternate. Miss Sylvia Numelin was class sponsor. Even with Roosevelt, Churchill, and Stalin meeting at Teheran, the class of '44 was more concerned with the local problem of meeting to settle graduation, prom, and reception plans. Such questions as VVho'll march with who ? Cregardless of grammarj, YVill the banquet and reception be together? arose. After numerous lively gatherings and heated discussions, we have settled these questions and plans. From our rally in November to our graduation in June, we have been busier than bees. Now our high school life is draw- ing to a close as we approach a world of greater responsibilities. Short ogg- Q U es - s A 3 'lFlft.fH' iYJ'iil-if-fy L Qinii I7 I f'1 ij Q . ' A Q T f f Ti

l l Q JUNIOR CLASS OFFICERS Miss McCrillis, Barbara Baker, Dorothy Libby, Patricia Lightbody, Herbert Hughes. JUNIOR CLASS At the beginning of the year the juniors allowed no fooling around in their midst but settled down to a year of serious work in preparation for their responsibility as seniors next fall. They were not too preoccupied with studies, however, to put plenty of pep and vigor into the various activities, excelling in debating, dramatics, prize-speaking, musical organiza- tions, to say nothing of athletics. These are only a few of the activities which engaged their whole-hearted participation and cooperation. The junior play, Booth Tarkington's The Fighting Littles , carefully chosen by an adept committee headed by lklary Ellen Shannon, was produced, upholding the honor of the school and bringing much-deserved credit to the class. May I2 was a day long to be remembered by the juniors and others as well. What happened? If you didn't know it was the Junior Prom, your education was sadly neglected. The committee-chairmen in charge of making a success of this memorable occasion were Virginia Lacey, llarjorie Riggins, Herbert Hughes, Herman Caswell, and Frank Neal. The class offices were ably filled by President Herbert Hughesg Vice-President Patricia Lightbodyg Secretary Barbara Baker and Treasurer Earl' Slattum. Their representative and alternate were Barbara Boutwell and Dorothy Libby 5 the class' sponsor is Miss Ernestine McCrillis.
