Address of Welcome The time has arrived for the class of forty-five to depart from Millbury High. Parents, Teachers, Classmates, and Friends: We, the Class of Nineteen Hundred Forty-Five, approach the most impor- tant event of our school lives, graduation from high school. The four years we have spent preparing for this event have been four of the darkest and most dismal years that mankind has ever been called upon to face, and only now can men look up to the war-torn skies and see the dark clouds begin to disappear and the dawn of a new world peace approaching. Today, however, let us forget momentarily the great world conflict and renew for the last time the happiest four years of our lives—the years which we spent at Millbury High School. Years such as these we may never know again, but they are ones which we shall cherish forever. We wish to thank our parents who have worked so hard to give us a suitable education, our principal and members of the high school faculty who did all that they could to make our four years, first of all, profitable and then happy. With these thoughts in mind, in behalf of the Class of Nineteen Hundred Forty-Five, I extend to you a cordial invitation to enjoy with us our Class Day Exercises. CLASS HISTORY overcame these difficulties, and Mr. Beaton allowed us to elect our class officers. Those To some it will be the end of gay happy school days; to others it will be the begin- ning of a different life filled with new ex- periences. Parents and friends of the mem- bers of the graduating class, let me take you back through our four years as stu- dents in Millbury High School. We entered high school in September, 1941, very proud but inexperienced fresh- men. Many hindrances confronted us such as: getting accustomed to the bells, finding our classrooms, and using the correct stair- ways. By the end of the first month we elected were President, Robert Carey; Vice-President, Rudolph Pinsky; Secre- tary, Eileen Stewart; and Treasurer, Ro- land Shepard. Although we joined many clubs, our lack of experience and knowledge prevented us from gaining any offices which were held by the upperclassmen. Our inecapability did not bother us too much because we realized that during the next three years our talents would be recognized. When Mr. Roberts called for football tryouts, we were proud to show the upper-
