FOREWORD We, the graduating Class of 1945, wish to present this book as a gathering together of memories of the past four years. By the reading of these pages in the days ahead we hope to keep fresh in mind the class- mates and incidents that served to make our high school period the happiest of a lifetime. ¥ LO

FREDERICK EDWARD WELCH Fred has fulfilled all the requirements that go to make a perfect class officer and leader, and was so amiable about it that we all were delighted to serve under him. Many things we have stored away in memory of Fred, but chief among them was his ever ready anxiety for the other fel- low. Best of luck to a real leader of men. BARBARA ANN BLAGDON Barbara filled her office of vice-president with poise and affability. Her interest in the welfare of the class stood out at all times, nor did she ever relent until the happi- ness of all was secure. A high honor pupil, she still found time to participate in all activities especially sports where her cheering ability was no small portion. We wish every success and happiness to Barb in her future work as a nurse. MARGARET MARY Margaret, our competent secretary, mever failed us in moments of crucial need. Above all at class she saw to it that we never had a dull minute. Cordiality was her typ- ical trait, while her natural leadership often spurred us on when the going was tough. Whether Margaret becomes a teacher, a nurse, or secretary, she will spread about her always, the sunshine of a wholesome disposition. LEO JOSEPH BEDARD Leo, our tr.asurer, was tops in the work, especially since our money bags were so heavily laden. Courteous and genial, ‘Red’ stood out on all occasions, but partic- ularly in the orchestra when he played the drums for 'Too-ra-loo-ra-la-ra.’ . Our best wishes go with Leo in evcrything he does.
