GENE SKAHAN Killed in France while serving his country. OUR GENE Farewell. dear Gene Our glorious one. Dear soldier rest, Your work is done. You were so young, For you no fame, But you're a hero Just the same. In a foreign land Mid battle strife, You gave for us Your dear young life So we'll pray for you, With prayers of love, And honor you With hosts above, With grateful heart We'll say and mean, Thank you, God, For boys like Gene. Helen Schweitzer. 0 .0!Ny0l'l0I BILL YOAKAM The Class of '45 is minus a member due to Uncle Sam's bidding. Bill Yoakam came to us in the seventh grade, and was with us as we struggled through the first three years of our high school career. But since Bill realized that he would be called into the serv- ice of his country before he could complete his senior year with us, he attended sum- mer school, earned the required credits and graduate with the Class of '44. Although he won't be here to receive his diploma with us we still think of him as a Sophisticated I, g -- f A Senior of '45. f F I 1 ..
