y ir -ir if -fr it. -is V 1 5 1 r mi? ★ i945 ★ ★ ★★★★★★★ Being so well pleased with the administration of the previous year, we re-elected the same officers and Incidentally it was MIkey McGann ' s FOURTH term. Our football team proved triumphant throughout the season with the exception of our contesf againsf Durfee High when Joe JakuboskI and N. A. H. S. suffered fhe misfortune of Jake breaking his leg. Besides Jake , Johnny Dean, Joe Velletri and Bill Mason were firsf sfringers. We decided fo fake advantage of Leap Year by holding a dance giving the girls the occasion to make their own choice of dancing partners. The Harvest Dance, St. Nick ' s Hop, and the previously mentioned Leap Year Dance were well attended and most successful from the point of view of George, our class treasurer. Eileen BorucInskI, and Eleanor Broderick, our two attractive Senior cheerleaders kept up the spirits of our afhlefes with their Incessant cheering. We greatly appreciate the time and effort spent by Miss Erving in making our Senior Play the great success It was. We hadn ' t realized before the hidden talent that was present within the members of our class until they fitted into the roles of Every Eamlly Has One. The last of our social acfivltles having passed we centered our thoughts around graduation, with the class meetings as the basis of many feuds. Ruthle Chabof, Agnes Collard and Joe JakuboskI leave Mr. Bronson searching for three musicians to fill their places. At last, or maybe too soon, our high school days have come to an end. We leave this building with cherished memories of classmafes and feachers. We hope that the under-classmen will follow In our footsteps, the efforts we have made to be- come successful. We leave, bidding farewell to all and wishing the best of luck to the members of our class who have already left us to enter the armed s ervices. They are: Don Eournler Bill Parks Joe Tero Bob Ruest Frank Phipps Bill White Louis Chabot Tony Cassale Roger Achin Let Caldwell Elmer Nadow George Craig Erank Beggs Those who left during our Senior year are: Roger Gagne, Bob O ' Neil, Sarkis Mooradlan.
