Our little village must not be without a church. Our priest is John Krall. Although, he was very popular with the weaker sex during his school days, he is now a very refined gentleman. He will always be quiet and shy, but Johnnie is a very popular member of the town. We must not forget Gladys, who lives on the end of the. avenue with her mother. She has proved her loyalty to her Mother, and our small .com- munity. Her card parties and tea's she gives are a joy to the women of '44. And now as we leave the village of '44, we glance at a large factory. We see walking among the workers, helping them, is Elizabeth June. She is always ready to offer a helping hand, and has friends among all her fellow workers. Ambition is one thing that furthered her career in a hurry. We have left the village of '44, but wait-look back over the town- it's a bird, it's a plane-yes, it's a plane-and inside? Our old friend Carl Livingston, Air Corps Pilot. He worked hard and did much to fur- ther the prosperity of '44. We believe he has seen some action abroad, and has returned with many medals. And now as we leave the small village of '44, we hope that you will return in a few years, and the town will be a large city, more prosperous than ever before. HELEN BARNES VERA SNYDER Q CLASS SONG Thompson High we regret to leave You, and all our friends besides But we must go, for here you know Is where our trail divides.

CLASS PROPH ECY If you should ever pass through the village of '44, incidentally es- tablished by the graduates of Thompson Vocational High School, you will no doubt recognize some of its occupantsg their ambitions, and achievements. As you approach '44, you come upon a WAC encampment under the supervision of Second Lt. Lewis. Although strict in her ways, her per- sonality proves she is a friend to them, and to all in the community. Progressing further we see a large business concern, owned and operated by Carola Davis, who has recently left, and is visiting a certain person on furlough on a farm just outside of Thompson. Now carrying on the business successfully in her absence is Miss Joyce Potter. Helping her as only Helen knows how is Miss Barnes, private secretary. Still further along the street we see a store-the name? Slocum's Economy Store. We see Eudora has followed the footsteps of her father. She is very shy and quiet, but nevertheless, she has won friends with all in the community. We are approaching a large hotel with the sign Waldorf Astoria, Jr. Inside many attractive meals are served-the cook? Of course, it's Elfrieda Stone. The waitress is our blackhaired, little Irish lass from Starrucca, Kathryn Gilleran. The '41 Army and Navy Hospital is next. Caring for the sick are First Lts. Boose and Snyder. They stand by their patients day and night, as only they know how. We see Dorothy is especially interested in the Navy, though. .As we exit from the hospital, Whom do we see coming down the street but Admiral Stack, home on leave. We wonder if he blushes when he gives orders, could be, but we knew his smile and pleasing personality would receive for him this promotion. In '44, of course, there must be music because the class had such musical ability among its members. Miss Catherine Kessler is honoring us at the present with her magical violin. She has taken time off as a soloist with the New York Symphony Orchestra to be with us a few days. We are very proud to have such a Well known and liked couple as Dr. Oakely and his Wife and children. They are very lively children, so don't get too close. Perhaps they have inherited some of their mother's love of jokes. People couldn't live unless someone produced the food, and that hard work is now done by the women in our community. Only Mary could or- ganize such an institution. If you stop in for a while, I'm sure Farmerette Mary Hubal could show you her accomplishments in her garden and' around the home. I W lr? 1
