ANON 1a de NS) SMOG IP ley AVA) SOURED Noh Gonna In the fall of 1944 about 85 of us re- turned for our final year in high school. We soon realized that being a Senior had a few more responsibilities than pushing other people around. We chose as our of- ficers: Walter Ramseur, President; Troy Lawrence, Vice-President; Helen Garver Deal, Secretary; Perry Sloope, Treasurer. To do the many things before us this year we had to advise and help us, Mrs. Ralph Linn and Miss Mary Gladys Fisher. In a magazine subscription drive we defeated China Grove and the money we earned helped a great deal in our ex- penses. It was a glorious day when we received our rings; one could not help but see our rings because we clearly displayed them in the following days. We received our rings one day during the fifth period, our English class, and we do like to get to skip classes. The Junior Class honored us at a ban- quet in the spring of 1945, which tre- minded us that we would soon be leaving Landis High. During the year we had a hay-ride— and a weiner roast afterwards—at Daugh- erty Springs. We also had a skating party. Commencement was soon upon us and we tealized that we would have to go forth into the world and try our luck. We knew that we would have to struggle more than ever before. We also knew that the war would help to hinder us, but, never- theless, we had to help carry the load our elders were carrying now. We bid good old Landis High School farewell and go out into the world to do the best we can. TROY LAWRENCE, FRANCES POOLE, Historians. Twenty-three
