I THE SENIDR CLASS 1943-44--As bewildered freshmen we came to R-B admiring the privileged upperclassmen but determined to enter into activities for ourselves. Our first undertaking was the Freshmen Fling, our class party. For our first class officers we chose: T. Flaherty, President, A. Middaugh, Vice-President, R. Lukas, Secretary, D. Ring, Treasurer. The service flag with its blue and gold stars reminded us that the war was very close to home, 'I944-45-White zibs reigned supreme as athletics dominated our sopho- more year, new All-Star uniforms, a lightweight football championship, the unforgettable Skyscrapers, and the President's Cup. Our sophomore party, Suspense, fell on Friday the l3th. As officers we selected: T. Flaherty, Pres- ident, D. Ring, Vice-President, E. Eriksson, Secretary, C. Murdock, Treasurer.
