8 tAcJ moo+t yexi ihooJz, 1945 — Dedication We, the Class of '45, do hereby dedicate our yearbook to the first graduating class of Mechanicville High School. Since 1892, many classes have passed through our portals; but the spirit of this first graduating class lives on in the present class, and it will continue to live in the hearts of all the classes of tomorrow.

Jlciifjmacm yearbook, 1945 7 The graduates sat in the front row of chairs on the assembly floor and faced the stage. They wore long dresses that swept the floor, had short puffed sleeves and long white kid gloves to the elbow. Each wore a corsage of roses and carried a white feather fan. As the class was small, every member had a place on the program inter- spersed by music by the band. Following a prayer offered by the Rev. A. McD. Paterson, the Salutatory Address was given by Miss Pattison; a recitation, “Parrhasius and the Captive,” by Miss Waldron; essay, “Rocks and Difficul- ties, by Miss Close; oration, “Grumblers,” by Miss Pattison; recitation. “Too Late for the Train,” by Miss Hutchins; essay, “Niches” by Miss Hogle; vocal duet, “Mountain Life,” by the Misses Waldron and Hutchins; and Valedictory Oration and Address, “No Contest, No Crown,” by Miss Baker. The class then listened to an address by the Rev. D. G. Lawson. Principal Blakeman formally presented the graduating class to the Board of Education and the girls marched to the platform and received their diplomas from the hand of Mr. Daniel E. Ladow, President of the Board of Education. Following the Benediction the graduates and their invited guests were driven to the home of Mr. Ladow on South Main Street where a reception was held.
