PRIVATE GORDON ANDERSON If you don't succeed once, try again Football l,2,5,4; Captain, Football 4; Glee Club 1,2; Patrol 1. Gordie was always willing to try again espeu cially if it was a new play in football. Remember Gordie and his football shoes during the season of '41? PRESIDENT'S ADDRESS Faculty, Relatives, and Friends, on behalf of theggadu- ating class of 1945 of Proctor High School, it gives me great pleasure to welcome you here today. I hope you will enjoy listening to how our fine class has progressed since the fatal year of 1951, when we first started down the road to success. We are glad that so few of us have fallen by the wayside, that a goodly number of us remains to reach out for that much-prized diploma, which marks the end of our high school days. Although the members of the class of '45 will soon be scattered far and wide, there will be no-sepa- ration in our love for Proctor High School and our apprecia- tiOn of teachers, parents, and friends, who have made our opportunities in education possible. We pass out into a world of strife and turmoil. It will become our duty to fight for our freedom and to make this a better world in which to live. The struggle may be long and difficult; however, let us remember the words of our class motto, lhe Impossible Takes But a Little Longer.

CLASS POEM As the pines cast their shadowa dark, Presaging coming night, While, Proctor High, we gather here, Beneath your cupola white; Our thoughts go back o'er four short years, We've spent within your sight. Our teachers here have taught us What we might expect of life, That every rose must have its thorn, And that success crowns strife; The world is what we make it, And trouble now is rife. And now our days with you are o'er; Relentlessly time flies, When coming months stretch into years, We'll come to realize E'en though your classes come and go, Your spirit never dies. Elaine Gilmore
