EL SS nr 1945 OFFICERS President U MICHAEL KOSTREY Vice President JAMES BURNS Secretary JOHN ZUBAR Treasurer JAMES BLOXHANT Class Motto: Prepared Class Flower: Red Rose Class Colors: Blue and Silver Advisors: Miss Mildred Thorn and Mr. Francis N. Mooney Four years ago, we, the class of '45, entered the portals of Saint Clair High School. We had the usual Freshman characteristics resulting from inexpcrience and a sense of inferiority, which disappeared after we became accustomed to the High School routine. Then-the fateful day of December 7th arrived. All the world now felt the effects of the war, and we were no exception, for the remainder of our high school years were tinged by it. As we began our Sophomore year, the class was increased by a large group of students from the Townships. We were kept busy doing our hit for the war effort. This hit included the buying of War Bonds and Stamps, working as telephonists and messengers during practice air raids, and taking part in the Victory Corps which was organized in the school. These activities did not prevent many of our members from distinguishing themselves scholastically, athletically, and socially. The traditional Junior Prom was the outstanding event of our Junior year. We planned for it, worked for it, and, with the untiring aid of our class advisors, made the ball an event which will long be remembered. Now that we are seniors, we realize that our school days will soon be over. The joys and experiences we have shared during the past four years are a memory which we will treasure forever. We thank all who have helped us to surmount the difficulties of those years, giving us a firm foundation, on which we, as The Builders of Tomorrow, may successfully cope with the intricate problems of the future. 12
