'Q' FALL OFFICERS RAYMOND COYKENDALL PRESIDENT NORMA DOOLITTLE VICE-PRESIDENT DOROTHY THOMPSON SECRETARY VIRGINIA BOWMAN TREASURER SPRING OFFICERS EARL WOODWARD PRESIDENT ELSWORTH ENSLEY VICE-PRESIDENT VIRGINIA SUTTON SECRETARY GEORGE ALBANO TREASURER CLASS i-IISTOR' Shy and humble mighT besT describe The members oT The class oT '45 as we awkwardly waiTed in The corridor Tor someone To Tell us where The audiTorium was. One OT The been-around Sophs informed The meek ones ThaT you guys haT Ta siT upsTairs. SeaTed uncomTorTably in The bal- cony, we TasTed a semesTer oT peace-Time high school, and Then The spoTlighT was Thrown on Pearl Harbor. AcTiviTies slowed down, buT we sponsored our dance, The Freshman ReTurn, and became a parT oT Tracy Union High School under The leadership of our Tvvb presidenTs, Rosalie Phelps and Carolyn Copeland. The Thunder oT many TeeT and The cries oT emancipaTed Frosh characTerized one oT our mosT Thrilling momenTs of our second year-liberaTion from The balcony! PaTrioTism was The Theme Tor The Sophomore Hop. and while The busT of George WashingTon looked down, The sTudenT body danced To The musical accompanimenT of Mr. Schuien- burg's High School Dance Band. Again our choice in presi- denTs ran To The fairer sex, Befhel Laurison and JaneT Hilken. As Sophomores, we considered iT an honor To assisT wiTh The decoraTions and do The ushering Tor The BaccalaureaTe Service Tor The ouTgoing Seniors. A year passed--The sounds oT music and gaieTy TloaTed ouT of The gym of Tracy High. The class of '45 was giving iTs Prom. The Theme was Dreamship, and as '45-ers glided and Twirled over The Treshly-polished Tloor, iT was noTiced ThaT undue aTTenTion was being given To hands. Yes! The class rings had arrived, and everyone was ad- miring Them. ln This year, Tor The TirsT Time, The boys as- serTed Their leadership. Bill Fox and Bob Hedrick wielded The class gavel. AT lasT we siT in Those coveTed TronT seaTs! The same Tel- lows and girls who were meekly occupying The balcony Three years before-buT. Oh! The difference-poised and conTidenT where once we had been bashful and awkward. We had reached The pinnacle of regular school acTiviTies. The Seniors sTaged a class play, Ever Since Eve, under The direcTion of Mrs. Baumqardnerf our presidenTs, Earl Woodward and Ramon Coykendall, wiTh The help of Mrs. RenTz, Mrs. Fine, Mr. Moore, and Mr. Miller, senior ad- visors, successfully direcTed our Senior Ball and oTher acTivi- Ties. And so ended four happy, crowded years. -By Madge WalTher. FI'-EN! RS I2
