MARY McKNIGHT EDWARD SHIPLEY MURIEL RALPH SMITH KLEINSORGE JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY The graduates of 1945 have just completed the busiest year thus far in their high school life. In the year 1941 the class started off on the right foot by electing the following class officers: President Beth Gable, Vice-President Edward Lahaie, Secretary Mary McKnight, and Treasurer Jean Demmon. The able assistance of Mr. McAllister was invaluable as the class discovered many problems confronting them. During this year we held a “Hard Times Party.” Many mem- bers of the class bought their sweaters and we voted that the colors of our division be blue and gold. In our sophomore year the American Beauty Rose was chosen as our class flower. Kenneth Catlow was elected president of the class with Edward Shipley, John Sabo, and Marjorie Meyer completing the executive board. The class enjoyed two very successful parties. In September of this year we elected, as did the seniors, a girl for class president. Mary McKnight was aided by Edward Ship- ley, Ralph Kleinsorge, and Muriel Smith. We worked industriously on the War Bond Drive and boosted the Magazine Subscription Drive that the high school carried on during the month of Feb- ruary. Miss Anna Peters and Miss Olive Wood were the capable sponsors of the class this year. We are looking forward to an even bigger year when we make our final plans for graduation. Nineteen
