CLASS QF '44 Here's to the class of '44, Whose stalwart boys marched oif to war, And left the girls to search for more. Here's to the team of '44, Those sturdy giants of Bergstrom's singing lore, Who won the shields for the conference what ain't no more Here's to the stamp sellers of '44, Those energetic retailers peddling bonds of war, Whose receipts not always checked with the total score. Here's to the steadies of foreverfmore, Those twosomes who hate to part at classroom door, Whose looks are drooly and whose notes say even more. Here's to the green-slippers of '44, Those slick, smooth Sams who thought they knew the score, But met their fate behind the oilice door. Here's to Wilkins' music corps, Those hepcats who somehow learned their score, Even tho 3115's multiplied o'er and o'er. Here's to the gang at Neville's Store, Those thirsty patrons who guzzled cokes galore, And squeezed the latest gossip o'er and o'er. Here's to the poets of '44, Those wits who gnawed their brain to the core, And just couldn't think of any more, flvliriam Browning and Ellen Hansen page sixteen

LilyfoffthcfValley MOTTO ,,.,., winner ncver quits, and a quitter ncver wins The war has affected the entire school, but perhaps the senior class to the srreatest extent. They have assumed a number of tasks, among them the selling of war stamps and bonds which has taken place every Monday morning. Before long the war stepped in and claimed john Nilsen, Cal Roulet, and Pat White. The latter's departure left a. vacancy in the class presi- dencv, which was immediatelv hlled bv Cal Bostian, former vice president of the class. lack Peaco was elected as the new vice president. School life continued with a few dropping out to obtain high-salaried wartime jobs. Then Pete Kristan, star athlete, was called into the army, and the seniors again felt the pressing war problem. V-12 and Y-S tests were :liven to the senior boys, and they began to take themselves seriously. Senior girls wrote letters to service-men and dis- cussed the drafting of women and the man shortage. The vear was a fast-moving, exciting one, and manv seniors grew up over night. ' P329 SCVCIHCCII Peaco
