Senior Class History In the fall of 1941, we the class of 1945 enrolled in the Freshman class. There were 63 of us. Class officers were elected, with Lois Kinney, President; Jerry Huddle, Vice-president; JoAnne Harshman, Secretary; and Mike Shaler, Treasurer. Our class was divided into three home room groups with Miss Gates, Mr. Hedlund, and Mr. Clark as advisers. The H to O gave a Junior High assembly. We also took part in the All- School Play. Highlight of our Freshman year was the Freshman-Sopho- more party given by the Sophomores. We started our second year of high school as Sophomores and were really in the swing of things by now. Six girls from our class were mem- bers of the Drill Team. We were represented in Glee Club with I I members and in Torch Honor Society with 16 members. Some of our class also took part in Band, Orchestra, and Flashlite. Evelyn Thompson became a majorette and JoAnne Harshman and Dolores Jackson be- came Vi-Queens. Four boys turned out for football. Our class had diminished in size to around 50 students with Mr. Bancroft as our adviser. We elected class officers: Allen Bartlett, President; Chuck Conrad, Vice-president; JoAnne Harshman, Secretary-Treasurer; and Cliff Gantt, Class Representative. We welcomed six new members to our class. These were Delpha Dunnington, Patty Yeaton, Duane Allen, Dorothea Best, Edna Cluphf and Viola Wells. We sponsored a few dances and skating parties. We also gave the annual Freshman-Sophomore party. Slowly our class was growing smaller, and when we enrolled as Juniors there were only 40 of us left. Mrs. Lundeen was our adviser. Class of- ficers were elected as follows: John Gilbert, President; Herman Kadyk, Vice-president; Delpha Dunnington, Secretary; JoAnne Harshman, Treas- urer; and Herman Kadyk, Class Representative. Lorraine Kalaquin and Herman Kadyk were enrolled as new members of the class. Our Prom was a great success. It was the highlight of our Junior year, despite other activities we sponsored. This year an assistant staff for the Flashlite was chosen to carry on work for next year. We sponsored some dances and movies to make money for the Prom. Lowell became a letterman in football and Allen became a letterman in basketball. Now as Seniors we are the boss of the school — well practically. It seems quite impossible that four short years ago we were all thrilled at the thought of attending High School. Now our high school days are over, but this last year has also been filled with sunny days. We elected class officers as follows: Evelyn Thompson, President; Lowell Posey, Vice-

president; Verla Johnson, Secretary; Allen Bartlett, Treasurer; and Jo- Anne Harshman, Class Representative. In December we gave a semi-formal Senior Ball, the first of its kind for quite a few years in this school, but it proved very successful. We chose our Senior Play, entitled Johnny on The Spot, which was pre- sented on the evening of April 20. Mrs. Johnson was our Senior class adviser as well as the coach for the Senior Play. John Gilbert and Jerry Welborn joined the Navy at the close of their Junior year. JoAnne Harshman was Drill Team Captain and Jean Hubbard was Girls' Club president. Allen Bartlett was Student Body president for 1944-1945.

Article II. To the Juniors, the full right to assume and use the title of Dignified Seniors. May they be as successful as the class of 1945. Article III. To the Sophomores we bequeath our energy and ambi- tion which allows us to be serious at least five minutes out of every day. Article IV.
