The ECHO 15 Oin ' (Schoolin ' Our first year in high school—can you remember that, When everyone enjoyed calling us “rats”? We studied hard and tried to learn, Our first credits we did earn. In our Sophomore year we were full of hopes. By then we thought we knew all the ropes. All of us have faults—we won’t pretend. But by study and hard work, all well did end. Some of our dear friends had left us in our third year. But on we trudged with both hope and fear. But happy we were when in reality. Seniors next year we would be. Seniors at last! Our dreams have come true. But our studies go on—both old and new h ' or final exams we still have our fears— ' I’he same as we did in those other years. When school is over we will be glad, it’s true. But, friends, we will .always remember you, , nd we hope you will think of us and strive ' I’o reach your goal like we, the Seniors of ’45. So good-bye, good friends of Alontvale Hi; ' I ' he time for parting is drawing nigh. We lea ' e all our friends who are so dear. And go out into the world both far and near. ELSIE DOOLEY

14 The ECHO ( e?iiors JAMES KEY Neither boisterous nor mischiev¬ ous, James seldom offers his opin¬ ion about matters. Although he possesses a dignified air, he is well liked by all. ELIZABETH KING Having won the title of the pret¬ tiest girl in the senior class, Eliza¬ beth is a tall, slender brunette who is usually smiling. Very athletic minded, she displays a wholesome interest in all sports. GERALDINE LANTZ The only redhead of our class, Geraldine is forever brewing up pranks to pop on some unsuspect¬ ing victim. She is an active par¬ ticipant in all school functions—• whether sport or social. DOLPHINE OVERSTREET Endowed with a love for talking, Dolly seldom runs down. Neverthe¬ less, she is a likeable, jolly good fellow who is ever ready to offer help. May you have a large share of the world ' s success. GENEVIEVE WILKERSON This friendly, breezy young lady answers to the nickname, Lu-lu , as often as to Genevieve. Regard¬ less of what you say to her, Gene¬ vieve ' s ready reply is, That ' s tough, aint it? She aspires to be a nurse—and who could make a better one?
