BETTY SMITH WITH PRIDE WE PRESENT OUR QUEEN It has been the custom for many years for the seniors to select one of the girls of their class to reign as queen. This is an honor which every senior girl would like to have bestowed upon her. The queen is elected by the popular vote of the class without nomination. T he selection is not based entirely on beauty and poise, but includes popular- ity, cooperation with fellow students, and characterization of the ideals for which we are fighting. Many people possess some of these qualities, but the combination of all of them in one person is the distinction of the Senior Queen. After careful consideration of all of these requirements, without the in- fluence of personal prejudice, the class of '44 assembled in the senior room to select the girl to be queen. Miss Betty Smith attained this honor. The large majority by which she was elected indicates that she merited it. Betty always extends the same warm welcome on the street, in the classroom, or at the social function. The class of 1944 is very proud to have a beautiful and charming girl like Betty for its queen. The queen is crowned at the Senior Class Play, serves at all festal occa- sions, and reigns at the Northwestern Track Tournament. -Patricia Houk. Page Twenty-seven

VICTORY CALLS FOR THINKING MINDS Through the past eleven years we have made steady progress along the highway to the great victory of the completion of our high school education. We, the luniors, have achiev- ed much, for there is but one more year to follow the highway. . But when our thoughts wander beyond the last year, we realize that in the future there will be vast problems requiring even larger accomplishments. Our class started the year with the election of our officers: Anna Wallace, president, Bill Fleming, vice president, Bose Marie Priest, secretary, and George Yarger, treasurer. Our class has participated in athletics and other extra-curricular activities. Though there have been various school parties through the year, the most enjoyable one for us was the Valentine-Bond party at which we were guests. Our class had the honor of winning the school war bond drive by purchasing nine hundred ninety-eight dollars worth of war bonds and stamps. Q On March 22, l944, we presented our class play, Incognito, an up-to-date mystery comedy. The play was under the experienced direction of Mr. Walter Faben, who also has given the junior class invaluable assistance as class adviser. We presented the Iunior-Senior Banquet on April 28. This was our farewell gift to the senior class. The theme of the banquet was 'Suddenly lt's Spring. Several boys from our class are now in the service. We are indeed proud of them. As the battle is waged on different fighting fronts, we are endeavoring to cooperate on the home front, One of our paramount aids in winning the peace is to procure as much as we can from our educational opportunities. -Barbara Nolin.
