Senior Class Officers J. Mayer, Nl. Evans, P. Stctser, E. Griffiths shoulder class lH'0l7ll'lllr today. world proh- l8lllS IOIIIOITOW. Mr. W. flrilliu, class adviser, slllllivs thc IH'0lDl!'lllb of seniors. The '45 graduates not only made history by having tl1e first woman president of the National Honor Society, but also in their transformation of the Girls Hi-Y from a close circle of a selected few to an organization with democratic ideals. Soon 1945 will be a part of the past, and voices of that never-to-be-forgotten class will no longer echo and ring through the rooms and corridors, but their voices will be heard through- out the world, carrying with them the ideals of freedom and democracy which will help to lead us on to the kind of peace we are all searching for now. ll. l'n-acock and H. Boslrysllvll exchange ide-as in center hall. The class of '45 has many times been referred to as the ugirls' classw of Lansdowne High, and would have come mighty close to be- ing just that if the vanishing males hadn't slowed down to a gentle ibut still steady! trickle toward the end. The smallest class of the past fifteen years grew rapidly smaller as the boys were called or volunteered for service in the Armed Forces. Those boys are fighting for Peace and a United World. The members of this senior class, and of those which follow, are the future leaders of the world of tomorrow, and are preparing, training and giving their lives to attain lt. Mr. B. Wycliffe Criflin, who has been ad- viser, teacher and friend to them all, has guided the '45 class through four years of successes and defeats, laughter and tears, and sadness and joy. There's never a dull moment when Mr. CrifTin's around, and his doctrines of thoughtfulness and justice are practical as they are preached. The class will never forget Mr. A. Todd Coronway, who stepped into Mr. Criffixfs place during a critical period and led them through one of those special Senior Dances and a tri- umphant and glorious success - their Senior Play, fflunior Missf, Their tall, friendly president, Eddie Grif- fiths twho Hsimply can't do a thing with his hair after he washes itl steered the class safely to a happy finale. Cute, pert Peggy Stetser was his vice-president and right-hand man. while vivacious Mary Kay Evans held the class npocketbookf, and titian-haired ,limmy Mayer was pulled from the sports world to keep the minutes up to date.
