SENIURS 'fi Bob Hanncy, presidenh Par Fifzsimmons, freosurerp Jusfine Potter, secretaryp Tom Pryor, vice-president. Members of the Class of '43, near their gradua- tion, look back over their last and best year and remember the hours of enjoyment they spent as well as the hours of study. Their first thrill came when the Senior Pin Committee, headed by Virginia Meade, an- nounced that the pins were ready. Because the pins had been ordered in June, seniors were able to obtain them before the second week of school had passed. Members of Senior Torch were surprised in October when they received their pins in an assembly. Since more than 150 earned pins, it was evident that life was not all play. The first Senior dance came during the foot- ball season and was appropriately named the Touchdown Tanglef' It made a big hit with all who attended. Jody Hawkins and Dick Higgins, co-chairmen of this dance committee, are to be congratulated on the fine job they did in planning this affair. The other Senior dance, Ration Rampagef, came just after rationing and this theme was well carried out through the decorations and programs. The juniors were seniors, guests at this dance and Barbara Brad- shaw and Coyle Briggs, co-chairmen, made the dance a success. Seniors, this year, are well aware of the war and are doing their part to help. Boys are en- gaged in war work while girls are working in department stores and taking care of children. Many of our boys are in the armed forces of our country and before long, many more will be. The Senior Prom Committee, headed by Bud Simpson, started work early to plan a fine prom. Everyone on the committee worked hard to make the prom a success and this added the final touch to every senior's graduation. Through air-raid drills, dim-outs, and cur- fews, our officers, guided by Miss Gleditzsch, class sponsor, and Miss Lee, counselor, have led us through the year. It is gratifying to find we chose such able officers as: Bob Hannay, presi- dent, Tom Pryor, vice-president, Justine Pot- ter, secretary, and Pat FitzSimmons, treasurer. Our high school days are over now. Seniors have said goodbye to their friends and teachers, and taken a farewell look at the familiar halls and rooms. Before we go our separate ways, we have commencement, with our speakers, Marilyn Lavelle and Dick Eilertsen, elected by the fac- ulty, and Jim Brink and Mark Litchman, elect- ed by the class. Then diplomas, and the long- awaited, all-important Senior Prom.
