Saniona f,Dnaw clflean o 'lflaomlp andl Cincumatancd' On September 7, we started for the last lap of our high school career. We had come through the first three furlongs with flying colors, and it was our ambition to win the race as true Monacans. Those chosen to lead us in the race were: President , i.... .... C- lenn Wilson Vice President , . . ..,. Rose Ann Jaros Secretary ...... ..... B etty Schupay Treasurer ..........,... Eleanor Martincek Without the faithful coaching and training of Miss Hegner, our sponsor, we would have been far behind at the finish line. This year's Senior Class was noted for its individuality, its excellent constitution adopted in the freshman year, its high scholastic standing, and its IOOVO support of every school affair. Our entire senior year was darkened by the departure of some of our classmates for service in the armed forces. We really miss them in the halls and classes, but we are intensely proud of the job they are doing. Along with other non-essentials, we sacrificed some of our activities and jumped head first into doing all we could to promote the War Effort. Our senior boys came through, when they began working part-time in the mills. The girls, not to be outdone, also worked part-time, chiefly clerking. The senior boys and girls knew sales technique, when it came to selling war bonds and stamps. Not only did they prove their ability as sales experts, but they had a good time promoting our country's cause. When we ordered our invitations and name cards, we felt that the end of our race was near. November l9 came next on our calendar of events with the presentation of our Senior Play, Mrs. Miniver, by an excellent, well-chosen cast. Another senior-year accent was the holding of the Junior-Senior Prom. It was a gala affair and everyone had a grand time. Our Baccalaureate exercises were held on May 24. As we were assem- bled in cap and gown in the auditorium, the sudden awakening that the race of Class of '44 was reaching its final lap, left a note of sadness in our hearts. May 24 was our most memorable day. With unseen tears and humble pride in our hearts, we marched down the aisle of the auditorium to the strains of Pomp and Circumstancef' When we received our diplomas, we became gopscilous that now we were alumni of our Alma Mater-the Monaca High c oo.
