As we, the Class of 1945, graduate, we can ' t help thinking back to the days when we were little sophs and of the students who were seniors then. Today they are scattered everywhere- -studying, working, fighting, and even dying. We think of the gold stars added to our flag this year; some of them represent students in that ' senior class. We wonder how time will deal with the members of our class, in so short a period as two years. We have had our ups and downs as have other classes, but the thing which makes us distinctive is that we have witnessed history in the making. With this world in turmoil, we cannot help graduating with a more serious and mature outlook than have other classes. As we leave, we think back to the fun, the sports, the activities, and the wonderful friends we ' ve had. We think of our counselor, Miss Collins, who has advised us and helped in giving us these memorable three years. We are glad to graduate but we are sorry to leave the good times we associate with Paly .
