CLASS HISTORY On a windy September day in the fall of 1945, sixty smiling boys and girls walked into the freshman homeroom of LaFayette-Jackson High School. Within a few days we elected officers. The results were: President, James Bassettg Vice- President, James Thomasg Secretary, Richard Kerskerg Treas- urer, Viola Gauseg Student' Council Representative, Betty Rundio. Then came the great day when the freshman initita- tion took place. You should have seen all those smiling freshmen with long skirts and their sweaters on backwards, with a boot on one foot and a shoe on the other, carrying a great big book. In the evening we looked out of the music room and saw a long string of other boys and girls with pad- dles. What else was there to do but go through that line and get it over with. Ve did. But oh, we had a very funny feeling behind us for a little while! The heat just rolled. We were sorry to have the following withdraw: Margaret Wurm, James Fedele, Merle Frick, Reva Jackson, Donna Wilkins, Carl Holt, and Dick Brown. But our sad hearts became glad when Mertis Hackworth walked in and said, HI would like to be one of you.n Of course, we accepted her gladly. We began our sophomore year by electing' officers.
