HISTORY OF THE CLASS OF 1945 (CONTINUED) friendly contest between the two Senior Classes. Shortly after the close of the magazine sale we selected the Senior ring committee to choose our long-dreamed-of class rings. After weeks of anxious waiting we received these symbols of eleven years of work and achievement. For days afterward we enjoyed displaying them before the envious eyes of the Juniors and Sophomores. January also brought the close of the first semester and the mid-term examinations. The annual staff brought its work to a conclusion, and the annual went to press in February. Soon afterward we began plans and practices for our Senior Class play. This year’s production was presented in the spring under the excellent direction of Mr. Abbot Lake. A break in the regular school routine occurred in May as we observed the traditional May Day exercises. Jean Whisen-hunt, our beautiful Queen, with her lovely attendants reigned supreme during the colorful ceremony. Now our school days are like a tale that is nearly told. Today we stand too close fully to realize what the past ten years and this eleventh and most important year of all really have meant to us. Perhaps in later years we shall come together again to gather the golden threads of memory, recalling the joys and sorrows we have experienced together these last eleven years. Today, however, with courage and hope we stand facing the final hour of Commencement and the future that lies beyond. Edward Coleman, Historian. T uelve
