THE JUNIOR CLASS The greatest event of the year, the Junior Prom, took place May 10. The theme, ‘The Hells of Saint Mary’s” gave the juniors an opportunity to show their artistic talents. The boys and girls created a beautiful scene with silver bells hung from a roof of green. While Johnny Nugent and his orchestra played the lovely strains of “The Bells of Saint Mary’s,” King James Duffy and his Queen Ellen Laing led the promenadors through the intricacies of the grand march.

We were initiated, and in the middle of the first year, our present principal and true friend, Mr. Kiger arrived. During our Sophomore year we in turn initiated the Freshmen. Our Junior year was now upon us and we were really advancing. First of all we selected our class rings; the next topic was the Junior From. For many weeks we decorated the gym with apple blossoms and pastel streamers. Our theme song was In Apple Blossom Time. On April 13, 1945, marching to the tune of Larry Woodbury’s orchestra the lovely Queen, Beatrice Giencke, chosen by King, John Heller, lead the other couples. And then there was the Junior and Senior banquet. At last our Senior year prevailed upon us, the drastic war was over and peace reigned throughout the world. Our graduation pictures were taken, and graduation gowns, cards, and announcements were ordered. The class play The Patsy” was one of our greatest ventures. Other events of 1946 that will be in our memories are Junior and Senior banquet, senior trip, alumni banquet and graduation night. Class President .............................
