Trade Beaver 1944-1945 Our class advisors for this, our final year, were Miss Tarr and Mrs. Perrin. As seniors we had senior class dances where we could get acquainted with one another. Once again we held our annual Trade School show. This year it was called “Trade Review of 1945” and again as last year it was a great success. An unfortunate incident that occured in Trade this year was the fire that started in the airplane shop. Fortunately it was quickly extinguished before it could do serious damage. Another event that saddened our senior year was the death of President Roosevelt who died on April 12, 1945, during his fourth term as president. About the middle of our third year we began to hear rumors that we were to have a nationally known figure as our graduation speaker. His name was not re- vealed to us until one day Dr. Burridge told us at assembly that he was to be Father Flannigan of Boys’ Town. By now we were beginning to make eager preparations for all the class events connected with graduation, and the year book committees be- gan to be very busily engaged. Our banquet which was to be held at the Kimball Hotel and the prom at the auditorium, which would be made festive for the affair by the twinkling lights of the crystal ball, became topics of much enthusiastic con- versation. Class Day also began to seem close at hand especially when a group of students began wandering about the building taking pictures to be shown that day. In sports our soccer team won the city championship. The print-shop won the intermural basketball championship and gained permanent possession of the bronze placque for being three-time victors in this sport. And so three pleasant and profitable years at Trade School are brought to a close and we stand ready to take our place in the world, hoping that before long it will be a world at peace. PHMEIISSY BZN STANLEY MAT YSCZYE: CLASS OF '45 POEM By MARGARET HARRINGTON As we leave you, dear Trade School, And go on our way We know that we'll miss you More every day. Fond memories will linger Locked in our hearts Of the good times and bad times In which we had parts. So we shed a tear And heave a sigh As to our Trade School We say Goodbye.
