. It hardly seems possible that our high school life is gone, but it's been four years since we elected Bob Wagner as our frosh president to be supported by vice president Bill Drayer and secretary-treasurer Tom Haeussler. Mr. Peiffer and Miss Garster were our sponsors while Bob Troup, Cecelia Gatts, and our president carried on in the Student Council. The cast did a grand job with our play The Courtship of Miles Standish. We were more sure of ourselves in our sophomore year. President Bill Shade, vice president Bill Drayer, and secretary-treasurer Bob Masters were our guiding lights. The Dudley Gals starred in the scholarship tests and the class of '44 was granted more fame by lim Spencer's baton twirling at Miami and Mary Ann Fry's rating of excellent plus for her piano solo in the contest. Helen Halloway and Bob Troup served with President Bill on the Student Council and Miss Garster and Mr. Blowney were our sponsors. Elmer was our chosen play. Oh, that junior year! Vendors of everything. Speaking of the good old days- Bob Masters, Mary Ann Fry, and Lois lane Rice were chosen as class officers with Bill Shade, lean Woods, Don Rost, and our president on the Student Council. Miss Garster, Miss Herboltzheimer, and Mr. Peiffer sponsored our exploits. One of the big events was the success of The American Eagle. Cliff Gebhart attended Boys' State and several of our boys starred in athletics. On Friday, May 21, we enjoyed the Reception at the Wishing Well. We did it the South American Way and everyone had fun. lt was all so much fun-more than we realized before our senior year when we elected Bill Shade president, Bob Masters vice president, Cecelia Gatts secretary, and lean 'Woods treasurer. Don Rost flew into the presidency of the Student Council with Bill Shade, Bob Masters, and Lois Rice. After much debate we voted purple and gold as our colors, the yellow rose our flower and our motto: One world, one peace, one victory. Miss Reed and Mr. Heistand spon- sored our undertakings with Miss Iennings directing What a Lifel And what a success! Cecelia Gatts and Onnolee Morris were chosen to take the D. A. R. tests and ten of the seniors tried their intelligence in the scholarship tests at Roosevelt. Bill Snyder and Louie Brockman left two blue stars in our class window when they heeded the call to the colors before finishing their classes. The Libraria Farewell, April 14, began the closing events. The Reception at the Wishing Well, May 205 Baccalaureate at the United Brethren Church the Zlstp the good old Prom on the 22ndy that crazy Class Night the 23rd: the Senior Picnic on the 24th: and the final precious memory of our lives together---Com- mencement on May 25. Now, we the class of '44, begin our lives as real Americans in a free and beloved land, ready to keep that land free through our constant and united efforts and prayers for victory.
