DONALD HERBERT A1NswoRTH-Band 1, 2, Orchestra 1, 2, Football 1, 2, 3, 4, Basketball 2, 3, Glee Club, Operetta 2, Class Treasurer 2, Block M 3, 4, Junior Play Committee 3, Senior Play Committee 4, Senior Ball Committee 4, Wig and Rouge 4. Once you agree with Don that Leapin' Lena is the hest Model A Ford on the road and that eating and sleeping have lots of future in them, you're the host of friends. Don has heen active in sports all through school and possihbf that accounts for his Sinatra- like following from the seventh grade. EDNA MAY AM1DoN-Intramurals 1, 2, 3, 4, Tumbling Club 2, Glee Club 2, Junior Party Committee 3. Edna's ahility as a haskethall player far .surpasses that of the other girls in the class. Those long shots are the envy of the whole team. 5'he can sink them at will. Social item: she's engaged, too. MARGARET MAURETHIA BARTHOLMEW-Intramurals 1, 2, 3, 4, Soph Hop Committee 2, Glee Club 2, Operetta 2, Junior Party Committee 3, Junior Prom Committee 3, Junior Play Committee 3, Senior Play Com- mittee 4. Next comes Margaret Bartholmew, a slim hlond whose interests center around hecoming an aviation hostess. .S'he's an agreeahle girl whose ahility to quote Keats or .fhelley ejestfulbf has made her conspicuous among less gifted in that field in English. MARJORIE MYRTLE BARTRAN-Library Club 1, 2, Frosh-Soph Picnic Committee 1, 2, Frosh-Soph Play 2, Intramurals 1, 2, 3, 4, Junior Red Cross Council, President 2, Junior Party Committee 3, Junior-Senior Party Committee 3, Senior Ball Committee 4, Senior Play 4. Comfort- ahle' '-that's Marge who seldom gets riled up, as she possesses all the qualities that make for calmness. As to her out-of-school work, she's realbf a good clerk at Perkins if she can he rounded up. Her slogan is Don't fence me in. HAROLD JAY BORDEN-Glee Club 1, 2, 3, 4, Operetta 1, 2, 3, Freshman Frisk Committee 1, Aviation Club 1, Soph Hop Committee 2, Junior Prom Committee 3, Intramurals 3, Senior Ball Committee 4. Aviation and eating sundaes are Harold's hohhies. C. A. P. takes care of the one,' and the drug store, the other. Lest you think this all he does, you should see him work on committees or stramhle out an answer in history. That is another story. PHYLLIS MARIE BRADY-Glee Club 1, 2, Operetta and Concert 1, 2, Intramurals 1, 2, 3, 4, Physical Education Demonstration 1, Frosh-Soph Picnic Committee 1, 2, Library Club 1, 2, 3, 4, Treasurer and Secretary 3, President 4, Soph Hop Committee 2, Frosh-Soph Play Committee 2, Junior Red Cross Council 3, Junior Prom Committee 3, Junior Party Committee 3, Junior-Senior Party Committee 3, Latin Club 4, Consul 4, Myndersian Staff 4, Senior Play Committee 4, Senior Ball Committee 4. Phyllis is going to he a nurse and we are certain shelll cheer up patients with her lively chatter. Her sympathies are so keen that she practicalbl floats out of sad movies on her own tears, and does she love it! MARGARET ELIZABETH BRowN-Glee Club 1, 2, 3, 4, Operetta 1, Class Secretary 1, Drum Majorertte 1, 2, 3, 4, Intramurals 1, 2, 3, 4, Junior Prom Committee 3, Junior-Senior Party Committee 3, Senior Ball Com- mittee 4. Give Margaret a horse she can ride and she's happy. An outdoor girl, full of pep and gayety, she finds all sports fun. Too, she's a snappy, high stepping majorette, a real addition to any parade. JoAN ELAINE CAFARO-Freshman Frisk Committee 1, Freshman War Bond Committee 1, Freshman Hot Dog Roast 1, Frosh-Soph Play Tournament 1, Intramurals 1, 2, 3, 4, Glee Club 1, 2, Operetta 1, 2, Physical Education Demonstration 1, Soph Hop Committee 2, Junior Party Committee 3,Junior Prom Chairman 3,Junior Play 3, Microphone 3, Associate Editor 4, Wig and Rouge 3, 4, Junior-Senior Party Com- mittee 3, Junior Prom Court 3, Le Cercle Francais 3, Vice-President 3, Senior Ball Committee 4, Senior Ball Court 4 5 Senior Play 4, Mynders- ian 4, Honor Student 4. Clever and original-that's joAn. There is a sultry .quality to her that is dificult to explain, hut she'.r a gay and witty companion, chuck-full of ideas, as Porky tan testify. When she rolls those eyes, she expresses volumes, and what volumes! CLASS HISTORY ONCE UPON A TIME MANY YEARS AGO WHEN THE GODS OF FATE WERE FLITTING FROM CLOUD TO CLOUD A DISCUSSION AROSE IN REGARD TO A WEIGHTY PROBLEM AN ORDER HAD COME IN TO THE PRODUCTION DEPARTMENT FOR A NEW CLASS FOR MYNDERSE ACADEMY AND EACH OF THE GODS WAS MAKING HIS CONTRIBUTION ..., I, SAID ONE, SHALL 16

Among those lost to us through the armed forces was Gino, whose good-natured rihhing has hrightened our days. With his candid camera shots and manual art skills to fill his days, he has still had time to hecome a gay Lothario-a night worker, we take it. SHIRLEY MAE CooMBs-Glee Club 1, 2, Operetta 1, 2, Freshman Frisk Committee 1, Camera Club 1, 2, Soph Hop Committee 2, Acanthus Club 2, Le Cercle Francais 3, Junior Party Committee 3, Junior Prom Court 3. To .Yhirley goes sincere thanks for her morale huilding effect on us all. As a result of the antics of this little pixie have come many hearty laughs from her classmates. Her smile and cherful ways will keep her happy always. BETTY JANE Cnoss-Frosh-Soph Play Tournament 1, 2, Frosh Hot-Dog Roast Committee 1, Frosh-Soph Picnic Committee 1, 2, Glee Club 1, 2, 3, 4, Operetta 1, 3, Freshman Frisk Committee 1, Intramurals 1, 4, Freshman War Bond Committee 1, Class Secretary 2, 4, Soph Hop Com- mittee 2, War Stamp and Bond Committee 2, 3, 4, Le Cercle Francais 2, 3, Junior Play Committee 3, Junior Party Committee 3, Junior Prom Committee 3, Empire Girls' State 3, Elmira Key Award 3, Senior Ball Committee 4, Junior Red Cross Council 4, President 4, Myndersian Staff 4, Honor Student 4. Betty sounds almost too good to he true hut she isn't. Enthusiastic, untiring, co-operative, friendb, ejicient-yes, she's all this and heavenly humorous as well. No class Who's Who would he complete without mention of this all-round, third ranking scholar of 1945. LEONA MARGARET DEAN-Margaret joined us in .Yeptemher and is aregular commuter from Canoga. How we enrg' her heing ahle to leave for the wide open spaces hefore lunch! MARION JANE DEARY-Freshman War Bond Committee 1, Camera Club 1, Frosh-Soph Picnic Committee 1, Intramurals 2, 3, 4, Glee Club 2, 3, Operetta 3, Soph Hczp Committee 2. Though she's always making jokes, Marion is a girl with alance. You can laugh yourself silbf at her antics, or draw her into a serious conversation ahout her soldier hrother or her home econo- mics training. In fact, she's a very interesting person to know. MARY RosE DESARo-Intramurals 1, 2, 3, 4, Glee Club 2, 3, 4, Senior Ball Committee 4. Mary need never worry ahout heach styles, for she'.r a sort of modern stream-lined Venus. As for her nails, she may yet model Revlon products. To most of us, she seems a reticent pereon, hut her sparkling, dark eyes register a keen sense of humor. FLORENCE RosE DESTEFANO-Intramurals 1, 2, 3, Library Club 1, Glee Club 2, 3, 4. Pretgf, hright-eyed Florence has collected more pink tardy slips than anyone else in Room 19. .Y he just can't get to school on time with all the delays attendant on mailing letters to her hrothers in service, though as all of you must know, Pete alone is excuse enough. ALICE THERESA DURNIN'FfCShmHH Party Committee 1, Physical Educa- tion Demonstration 1, Acanthus Club 1, Intramurals 1, 2, 3, Junior- Senior Party Committee 3, Junior Prom Committee 3, Senior Ball Com- mittee 4, Myndersian Staff 4, Senior Play Committee 4. Alice carries herself with a quiet dignity in keeping with her reticent personality. .S'he's at- tractive too, hecause she isn't the ohvious Upe. She doesn't helie her last name, for she has a quick sense of humor that makes her responsive to the hest and the worst wit in the class. MAN PILL INTO THE POT .... AND SO ON DOWN THE LINE. HARD WORK, GOOD FUN, INTELLI- GENCE, TALEN TS, DILIGENCE, AND COURAGE WERE EACH ADDED IN THEIR TURN. SO THEREIN, GOOD READER, LIES THE STORY OF THE BEGINNINGS OF THE CLASS OF NINETEEN HUNDRED FORTY-FIVE .... THE MAIN ACCOMPLISHMENT OF FRESHMAN YEAR WAS OUR ADYENT IN MYN- 18
