became secretary. The social functions of the year were a Hal- loween Dance, at which the fortune teller's booth proved very popular, and the much-publicized Junior Prom. The gymnasium for the Prom was decorated in accordance with the theme, Hol- land Paradise. The ceremony of investing the king, Dale Baird, and the queen, Virginia Rohl, with the royal CTOWHSJ took P1059 kefore the Grand March. As we treked gaily back to school the following fall for what most of us hoped would be our last year, we noticed that our class had dwindled from one hundred and twenty-one who answered the roll back in 1941 to a present total of eighty four. The Second world war did not overlook our class, for at this time fifteen of our original classmates are in the vari- ous branches of the service, while five members of our Senior class have recently left, or are about to leave for the service. we are justly proud of the fact that we are the first group to complete four years of high school during world War II. Now that we have advanced into the realm of seniority, we find ourselves busier than ever. we elected Crawford Smith, gesidentg Virginia Rohl, vice-president for her fourth con- secutive term, Gerald Kihl, secretary, and Raymond Ignatz, treas- urer. To finance and publish a worthwhile UCayuganH became :me of our goals. We well remember how gigantic the task seemed when we learned the anticipated cost of the project. We were determined, however, to go HOnward to Success.H We are proud that the class sold a record number of yearbooks. Much unsuspected talent was revealed in our Senior play, a three-act comedy, HThe Family Upstairs,H produced under NK. Bigelow's skillful direction. The bounteous profit realized from the play plus the proceeds from a stationery sale under- taken by fifteen of the girls increased our treasury balance considerably. We also sponsored a Sadie Hawkins Dance and a Christmas Dance. Now we are planning the Senior Ball, and we feel assured it will climax the social events of all our school years. Thus concludes the history of one of the most im- portant epochs of our lives. We express our deepest gratitude to the members of the faculty for their generous cooperation, kind consideration, and wise counseling. For many of us this is the last year of formal education. Others, however, will seek higher education in schools and collegesg while all alike, we believe, will face their new life with courage and confidence. Most of us will, of course, stumble, and some may even fall on the stony road to success, but all will benefit from their early training and inspiration received at Lancaster High. 14
