JUST A MEMORY NOW For the last four years, we, the class of nineteen hundred and forty-five, have been madly trying to keep up with our lessons, our club activities, and most of the other phases of high school life. Now, before we leave, maybe, we should pause a moment and give a coherent account of ourselves. It doesn’t seem so very long ago since we were freshmen, feeling quite grown up and important. Under the supervision of our home room teachers we began to think of ourselves as a class and chose these people for our officers: Don Gray, president; Bob Poppino, vice-president; and Claire Jean Duckworth, secretary-treasurer. We had a lot of fun preparing our part of the program for the all school party and having two parties ourselves. We ended the year with a trip to McCormick ' s Creek State Park where awards and medals were given to outstanding students. Looking back over this year, we saw how much we really had grown. We were now ready to leave the traditional freshman adjective, green, to the next class. Viewing the world from the lofty position of sophomores, we began to settle down to business. Most of us found our places in the various clubs, and we also began to get our scholastic programs straightened out. This year we had one party. Our officers were: Don Gray, president; William Moreland, vice-president; and Maxine Smith, secretary-treasurer. Our sponsors were Mrs. Tyner and Mr. Ostermeyer. Our junior year is one we will always remember. At last we were upper classmen. This was our busiest year yet, with parties, planning programs for the all school party and a convocation, giving our class play Miss Jimmy, and last but never least, the prom. Our theme was Stardust, and we never will forget the fun we had decorat¬ ing the Recreation Hall and dancing to the music of Bob Baker ' s orchestra. To help us carry out all these activities we elected William Moreland, president; Bruce Baker, vice-president; Jane Kivett, secretary; and Lois Congram, treasurer. The teachers who gave us so much of their time were Mrs. Prewitt and Mr. Bowers. It is rather hard to describe how it feels to be a senior, for suddenly along with all the fun comes the realization that it will all soon be over. For our last year we chose Gene Prather, president; Elizabeth Hanna, vice-president; Florence Day, secretary; and Ruth Rawlins, treasurer. With the help of our sponsors, Miss Rose and Miss Stevens, we carried out many memorable activities. The year book, the class play, the prom, Class Day, Baccalaureate, and Commencement, will all rate full pages in our memory books. Not all of our memories will be so pleasant, for we will never quite forget the great conflict that overshadowed our school days. Nor will we forget our resolve to apply in some way our knowledge gained here, so that it will never happen again. Thus, we will leave our seats in the auditorium and our government books to the on-coming senior classes and hope that they have as much fun and get as much from school as we. 12
