CLASS It was only yesterday that we entered the doors of Q. H. S. Some of us were new and probably a little afraid as we timidly walked down the halls for the first time. We could see some of our number going into wrong classrooms, others be- ing lost, and still others, who were acquainted with this school system, having no diffi- culties at all. Nevertheless we soon settled down to our studies and became acquainted with the students and with the pa- tient faculty, who helped to guide us for our next four years. Let us look back and review some of the incidents that took place and the things we accomplished during our high school days. lt was l94l when the class of '45 was organized for the first time. We had a wonderful time that year. There were football, hockey, basketball, and baseball games, plays, and other entertainments which we enjoyed. This life seemed so different from that of the past. Our first campaign fbaseballl we won, and this gave us the first sum of money for our treasury. We can also remember that beautiful Flpril morning when the whole class piled into Le-vy's buses and went to Phil- adelphia to spend the day. Mr. Buck was taking us to the Franklin Institute. Qfter we had had our papa-da-sickles' and our ice-a-da-cream, we started our tour of the Institute Several boys walked around by themselves all day, having decided that they wanted to view the educational exhibits of the Institute without the in- terference of the fairer sey. That was the beginning of the Bachelor Club fwhich slowly dwindled as the years passed byl. ln spite of those who didn't believe in sign: and got into the wrong places and those who rode the elevator: until they were told to walk, we finally got everyone as- sembled in the bar fmilkl Plfter Mr Buck had gathered in it-5 n ' X Xkanmln w W - ' ng 1 x I ,Eli - 'il ' 2. itklll 13.

This homeward trip proved to be an exciting garne of tag among the three busses, with the lzttle yellow one in the lead We had a lot of fun, but we also gained some valuable knowledge which we will never forget. The fall of 42 quickly carrie The school bells were ring.ng their familiar sounds again We entered with an energetic feeling, hoping to mark down another successful year. Our sophomore year was a very poor one for campaigns To our regret we lost every one of them Two memorable events occurred during this year. One was the ordering and receiving of our class rings. We had them earlier than previous classes because of the war. Plnother event was the invitation to the Iunior Prom This was the first one we had ever attended. During this year we were saddened by the sudden death of one of our classmates, Hildegarde Lang The Junior year began with the election of our class officers and class adviser We selected our class colors, flower, and motto. We also ordered and received our class hats and pennants We worked hard in the football campaign that year and won it after very keen competition from the sev- enth grade. We gave our first play, UThe Fighting Littlesf' under the direction of Miss Stever. lt was a great success. We also sponsored the Iunzor Prom. This was held in the gym, which was beautifully decorated to represent a South Sea Island. Qt the end of the year we naa a doggie roast at Ezcnners Grove. We played garnes and went boating Qfter dark we sat around the large bonfire, roasting peanuts and singing songs Our track team suffered the next day when Osie' came in a lame fourth. ln contrast to the sophomore year the Junior year had been a very active one The trearse
