UNIUHS SAY '45 JUNIOR OFFICERS Dean Hill, Prerident Joyce Mann, Vice Prerident Mary DeVoy, Secretary JUNIOR SPONSORS Miss Lillian Brasher, Chairman Miss Frances Campbell Miss Mary Lou Finley Mr. Custer McDonald Miss Maye Rone Forty-five forward might well be the typi- cal thought in the subconscious mind of every Junior in the coming class of '45. Yes, we're ready, anxious, and indeed willing to receive the torch of learning from the Seniors at Commencement. We fully realize that our re- sponsibilities as future Seniors will be many, but we intend to carry out any and all of those duties in the best of traditions. This promise may well be guaranteed by a brief delving into Junior activities in 1943 and '44. After spirited campaign speeches, the re- turns from the election of class officers were as follows: Cy Johnson, president, Dean Hill, vice-president, and Mary DeVoy, secretary. When Cy Johnson resigned his position as pres- ident to join the Navy, Dean Hill automatically became president, and it was decided at a class meeting to give the vice-presidency to Joyce Mann. These capable executives had the guid- ing hands of Miss Lillian Brasher, Miss Frances Campbell, Miss Mary Lou Finley, Miss Maye Rone, and Mr. Custer McDonald, class sponsors. Showdown, the junior play was a com- edy-mystery in three acts chuckfull of action, suspense, laughs, mystery, and romance. Pro- claimed an outstanding success by all who saw it, Showdown was well worth the efforts and hard work of actors and actresses Jerry Stone, Glenda Lee Johnson, Frank Peterson, Joyce Mann, Jimmy Mock, Eatrall Beals, Kenny Van Slyke, Lois Patton, and John Patterson. The juniors became charming hosts and hos- tesses at the junior-senior banquet, May 5, as any senior will gratefully verify. The theme Page twenty-rix PUHWAHU -ag-1.-cyl lj fl of the banquet was patriotic, and this idea was carried throughout in a most effective manner. Commander Dean Hill, president of the Junior Class, was the Toastmaster of the Junior- Senior Convoy, as it was so called. Mess Call was sounded by Musician Delmer Easom on the bugle, and the Invocation was given by Chaplain Clell C. Warriner. The speech of welcome Ship Ahoy was given by Lieutenant Commander Joyce Mann, and the speech of thanks, Of Thee We Sing, by Colonel Rich- ard O'Shields, president of the Senior Class. G I Chow was then served. On the menu was spiced tomato juice, baked ham, raisin sauce, creamed potatoes and peas, spring salad, hot rolls, butter, cake with Russian sauce, and coffee. Patriotic songs were sung between the courses. Chief Petty Officers Joyce Lee White, Betty Lou James, and Mary Edith Killebrew sang We're the Seabees of the Navy. Lieutenant Colonel Stanley Hopper gave tribute to the superior officers, our instructors, in his speech entitled On the Beam. The American Pray- er was sung next by Ensign Glenna O'Bannon, and Major Betty Ann Gainor gave tribute to O. H. S. in her speech, So Proudly We Hail. Lieutenant George Megill came forth with the Marine Hymn and was followed by final orders from the Commander-in-Chief W. Max Chambers in his speech, Forward March. The banquet came to a close with taps sounded by Musician Delmer Easom. So now, seniors, we're fully prepared to re- ceive the Torch of Learning. Its light will never diminish, as we juniors go onward with but one thought in mind, '45 Forward.
