JUNIORS Junior Class Officers Lett to right: Peggy DeChant, Secretary; Richard Ruble, Vice-President; Jack Tease, President; and Jean McCullough, Treasurer. In September, 1945, our class of twenty-three boys and thirty-three girls, started out as juniors under the leadership of Miss Hastings and Miss Herson. With an abundance of energy we began working to uphold this title of juniors. In September we used part of our excess enthusiasm for having a food sale and chancing off a turkey. October found us planning our Hallowe'en Dance. As early as November committees were appointed to start planning the peak of our year—the Junior Prom. We celebrated March by giving a St. Patrick's Day Dance. It was in this month that our long waited for class rings arrived. With a wonderful feeling of pride we donned this symbol of being a junior. Then to top off the whole year we gave the dignified prom in honor of the departing seniors. But all of our school year wasn’t dancing. Oh, no. With the capable assistance of our teachers we struggled with our text books and tried to absorb the thoughts contained within them. Many were the mental battles with history, Spanish, English, chemistry and other subjects. With the hope of having mastered these we are looking forward to fill the vacancy and becoming dignified seniors. We hope that we will be as active, scholastic, honorable, and idealistic as our predecessors. Good luck on your journey into the world, seniors. We, the juniors, send our best wishes with you.

SOPHOMORES Sophomore Class Officers Lett to right: Joseph Lank, President. Arlene McGee, Treasurer; Hershel Deputy, Vice-President; Lillian Sorrells, Secretary. We have completed one lap of our high school education and we re finishing another now. As a group, we re the typical sophomore class. We ve given much of our time and energy in the field of becoming better students, athletes, musicians, and members of our newly formed Student Government. Our activities began early in the year and have continued admirably. The projects we have undertaken have resulted in giving us much pleasure and entertainment as well as supplementing funds to our class treasury. Perhaps the most important activity sponsored by the sophomores and enjoyed by members of the community was our Thanksgiving Dance. It was well attended and innumerable compliments were received on the decorations and entertainment. However, the project of which we are most proud was the winning of first prize in the Milford Victory and Hallowe en Parade of 1945. The subject of our float was the Flag Raising on Iwo Jima. Plans for a dance in May are also under way. As our advisers. Miss Mary Freas and Mr. Blair Rhodes, have done much in helping us over the rough spots during this school year. Looking back, we are very proud of our achievements in our sophomore year and expect to have a junior year fully as successful.
