jo .A pidlfe .gil we Tomorrow's success lies within the youth of today, and with this in mind the members of the class of 1945 are now setting forth to find and accept responsibilities in the great world that lies before us like a huge book full of wonders and experiences that are as yet unknown' to us. We are about to prove the worth of David Grayson's words when he said that everyone has a place in the world and no matter how insignifi- cant his job, if he does it to the best of his ability he will be able to take his place in helping to shape the destiny of the world. Wally Martin and Bob Anspach, because they died during their senior year, have been denied the privilege of accompanying us on our adven- turous journey down life's road as we go out to seek our fortunes in commerce, education, govern- ment, or science. Miss Elizabeth Little and Mr. Everett Pen- nington, our advisers, and Jessie Ormerod, Dick Vachon, Bob Stavenik, and Lloyd Vogel, our offi- cers, deserve vast amounts of credit for leading us so well through our last, most wonderful year here at North Side. Pathway to the Stars was the appropriate theme for our senior banquet which was held at the Trinity English Lutheran Church on january Guides of the '45 class are, seated, Jessie Ormerod, presidentg Miss Elizabeth Little and Mr. Everett Pen- nington, advisers, and Dick Vachon, vice- president. Standing are the secretary-treasurer, Bob Stavenik, and the chairman of the social calendar, Lloyd Vogel. 17. Bob Northrop served as toastmaster for the occasion, Dick Vachon and Bo-b Stavenik read their hilarious class prophecy, and Milton Brooks, with Ruth Mertz as his accompanist, sang several selections. Speakers for the evening were Miss Mabel Greenwalt, Miss Loraine Foster, Jessie Or- merod, and Don Ropa. Our delightful senior play, Ever Since Eve provided an evening of riotous entertainment for a fully-packed house on February 17. The sparkling cast, under the direction of Miss Margery Suter, included Vic McGuire, Rena Miller, joe Carken- ord, Vergie Lewis, Flo Ann Brown, David Maish, Peggy Watt, Roger Moore, Thaine Ford, Nancy Haypner, Gene Dennis, Bob Northrop, and Wayne Kes er. At the Senior Assembly the class will was read and the class presented an oil painting of Mr. Northrop to the school. Our most outstanding social event was the Commencement Dance, which was held the eve- ning of june 2 in the school gymnasium. The baccalaureate sermon was given on Sunday, june 3, and commencement exercises followed on june 5, as we closed the doors forever on our high school days which are now but glowing memories that will be with us always, wherever we may go.
