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. Class Will The members of the class of 45, being of sound body and mind of debatable adequacy, do hereby and forthwith bequeath as our last will and testament, the following: Article I. To the faculty we leave our autographed examination papers, that in the years to come when we do not become famous and renowned, they may have the consolation of remembering that we might have been. 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. To the Freshmen we leave a kind word of advice and encouragement, and a friendly warning of the difficulties they will en- counter when they become Seniors. Article V. We, the individual members of the Senior Class of 45, do hereby bequeath the following: Viola Wells and Bill Peterson leave their role of Romeo and Juliet to Betty Forrest and Harold Brown. Dave Hisey leaves his height and intellectual abilities to Bill Hubbard. Marilyn Fulton wills her man to the Navy for the duration and six months. Jean Shay wills her belt of scalps to anyone who is big enough to take it away from her. Dorothy Welborn wills her gift of gab to Max Newman. Allen Bartlett wills his visit to the principal's office every morning for a late slip to John Cockburn.

The Prophecy of the Class of 1945 As we enter the little town of Wetwater, which is apparently suf- fering from growing pains, we see a sign advertising the greatest show on earth, Vogler's Two Ring Circus.” Somehow the circus strikes our fancy and we follow the crowd to the tent grounds. We can't believe that such a gathering can be obtained from the fact that Milton Vogler's picture is on the billboard, and on further examination we read All women performers. Suddenly a voice is heard shouting, Get your tickets here, folks, get your tickets here. It seems familiar and then we recall, it's the booming voice of Roger Nelson, ace ticket seller. After buying our tickets and elbowing our way into the great arena, we see George Green in his popcorn stand trying to pop corn as fast as he can eat it. Say, isn't that Marilyn Fulton helping him? Yes, we are informed that she is the former Marilyn Fulton. After tripping over four seats and stumbling over as many legs and feet, we reach our desired spot which is, of course, the ringside The lights dim as there is a loud fanfare from the all-girl band, containing six members. We try to recognize their faces but we believe that they have masks on. But no, that can't be! There's Dolores Jackson on the big bass horn, or rather, there's the big bass horn on Dolores. Sitting be- side her and having a royal time poking the other members of the band with her trombone is Edna Cluphf. Well! Crrrrockerrr! !. If it isn't Astrid Nelson taking over the bass drum. At the front of the fray is Verla John- son, trying to outblast the rest of them, all by herself with her shiny little trumpet. In the second row back, Dorothy Welborn is deftly handling a piccolo. Someone tells us she plays that because she's so short winded. We suppress our laughter. Dorothy's co-worker in the same row is none other than Joyce Drake, having a whale of a time playing something that must be her own creation. As the fanfare ceases, a couple of clowns bounce past. That one bouncing on her head must be JoAnne Harshman, she doesn't seem to be hurt. Putting on our sunglasses we can now look at the other. That brilliant red hair is a dead give away. It's Millie Jolitz in spite of the mask. We heard that she was formerly the lady wrestler but that she had to give up this profession boc ause there were too many casualties among her opponents. Now the main show begins Here comes a tall, lanky fellow in a black silk hat. Oh, he's the masher of ceremonies and a hard one to recognize. By the looks of that four foot stride it must be Dave Hisey. It is. The crowd is hushed as Dave announces the first performance. You will now witness the greatest horse riding act in the country. Presenting Jean Shay and her intelligent white horse. That's Miss Shay on the right. We are spellbound by her astounding ability.
