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 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
