SEINIICDIQS 1945 UUR PARTING WCRDS As we finally near the end of that long-anticipated senior year, we suddenly realize that graduation from high school does not represent a final goal. Instead, it means the start of many new experiences and asso- ciations in which we shall find opportunities proportionate to your own personal endeavor and devotion to duty. Prepared in mind and body to cope with the problems of daily living, we face the future with con- fidence and curiosity. We who are departing leave to you seniors of the future all the material things connected with school life. But we take with us something we'll never relinquish-the memories of the good times we've had par- ticularly during our senior year. With what pleasure we'll look back upon the colorful Senior Masquerade, which brough forth so many outlandish costumes! What riotous fun some of our seniors, talented in dramatics, had working in Dirty Work at the Crossroads ! How privileged we felt in taking time off for 'ditch day ! What a battle the Senior-Faculty basketball games were! How proud we were to present the Senior Play, Ianie's One-Track Mindvl We'll always fondly remember the grand Senior Prom and Banquet planned for us by the loyal juniors, but the biggest thrill of our whole high school career will always be Commencement with caps and gowns the order of the day and diplomas the coveted rewards! Now, we wish to pay tribute to our fine adviser, Mrs. Ellen Reed, and to our swell crew of officers including Don Pfeiffer, president, Pat Sylva, vicefpresidentg jerry Harvey, secretary, and Marilyne Short, treasurer. As we take our leave from this familiar campus, we pause for a few farewells. To our wise principal, Mr. V. A. Dunlavy, goes our heartfelt ratitude for his kindl interest in ever one of us. His advice g V Y will always stand us in good stead. Thanks to our teachers for their patient efforts in boosting us over the rough bumps of knowledge. To the seniors of ,46 we give this advice as we are about to embark on our new responsibilities. In the present chaotic world, where the privilege of a free and unbiased education is accorded to so few, it is your duty to treasure and make the most of your dearest possession- your high school education. We also leave with you our sincere wish that your senior year will witness the cessation of this devastating war and a return to a normal high school life culminating in whatever job or profession your abilities and interests may dictate. It is to defend this right and all other fundamental principles of liberty and justice that we, at this time, dedicate all our efforts.
