Social events were curtailed, students entered the armed forces, and the class went all out on a war program. H 4 4 The junior year of the Class of '44 was greatly influenced by the war. Members of the junior class helped fill MalVerne's Service Honor Roll. Joseph Tiedeman, an excellent athlete, and Chris Gherity, everybody,s friend, enlisted in the Navy, and both were sent to the Great Lakes Naval Training Station. Frank D'Antonio, a popular and prominent member of his class, enlisted in the Army and was sent to Camp Wallace, Texas. Malverne's ace fullback, Bill Keahon, left school in March to join the Marines. These boys and others who may go after them can be sure that the whole of Malverne High School wishes them good luck and a safe return after the war is won. To do their bit, many junior girls joined the American Women's Voluntary Services, Junior Auxiliary, which conducted salvage and war stamp drives in Malverne. A Junior A.W.V.S. Chorus was also established, under the direction of Mrs. McConnell, and a large number of juniors joined. The chorus performed at Rockville Center at an A.W.V.S. meeting before Christ- mas. This was accomplished after only three rehearsals. A great number of patriotic juniors joined the Victory Corps which is a new war-time organization at Malverne High School. At the school's weekly sales, junior homerooms bought large numbers of war stamps and bonds. Room 210, one of the smallest homerooms in the school, often led the sales and Won a Treasury Flag for its effort. To make the purchase of bonds and stamps seem more personal, pledges were made by the homerooms toward the purchase of jeeps which will have stenciled on them Donated by Malverne High School. To augment their class treasury the juniors held a series of cake sales. Volun- teers donated the cakes and sold them after school. The Junior Prom, held in May, was also a great success, thanks to the committees which worked dili- gently to put it over the top. The juniors had many students prominent in school affairs. Elfriede Moeckel, Robert Hanrahan, Nancy Murphy, Marjorie Smith, Nona Flatley, Theodore Demmerle, Carolyn Rand, Jaqueline Crawford, and Jane Gould served effi- ciently as Student Association oflicers. Theodore Demmerle, Robert Hanrahan, William Keahon, Addison Seekins, jack Randall, John Holly, and Chris Gherity gained places on varsity football, basket- ball, and baseball teams. Junior girls were also active in sports, winning places on hockey, basketball, and baseball honor teams. The Class of '44 looks back with pride on a successful junior year and looks forward to a memorable senior year.
