Look back across the sea of yesterdays And capture once again what ioys you may Though time may dim the light of memory This book, we hope will hold for you a dream. J. L. D. Greetings from Mr. Wilson l:o the Class of 'I-L5 FAREWELL TO THE CLASS OF 1945: Talent, beauty, and ambition are all to be found in abundance in the graduating class of l945. Many previous classes have been larger, some may have been more active or more famous, and still others have had longer than you in which to distinguish themselves on the field of battle or in everyday civilian life. How- ever, in no previous graduating class of Hillyer, to my knowledge, have its members applied themselves more diligently to their studies or faced with greater courage, resourcefulness, and determination, the difficulties and discouragements of con- structing their lives in a war torn world. Many of your number have had your college education interrupted by your country's call to arms. They too have played and will continue to play an im- portant part in honoring the name of their College. As the Class of 1945 takes its place in time, alongside the ever increasing number of illustrious classes of Hillyer, may I extend to each one of you, the very best wishes of the faculty of Hillyer for your future success and happiness. Cordially yours, Alan S. Wilson, Director 52 DEDICATIGN .... We, the class of nineteen forty five, feel it most fitting in this time of ignoble strife, to dedicate tliis book to the hope of eternal peace. Not the proud cause of nations, the fantasy of creeds, nor the perpetuation of traditions, but, to the enlighten- ment of mankind let us dedicate also our living. 1l CONTENTS DEDICATION FACULTY .

Excited about White Elephant Party . . . grab bag . . .girls box lunches raffled off. Annual get together of Epsilon Alpha Zeta. For a nominal fee, the Hillyer Hustlers hustled up to Northfield. Here many new romances started. Highlights of trip . . . bicycling . . . hay ride . . . arising at 5:30 in the morning . . . hiking and skiing ...and Oh, Yes! a broken sled. February Valentine Party was a timely occasion for the sweet-hearts of North- field. The Hillyer Hustlers elected officers. We celebrated Washington's Birth- day with a minu,ette. March Callboard has its first birthday. E.A.Z. enjoyed bowling party. April We spread Hillyer's name and fame by sending delegates to schools to invite them to dine and dance . . . splash in the pool . . . to view Hillyer fashions . . . in other words . . . Invitation Night. May Despite gas rationing, we managed a day at Batterson Park. Three brave girls braved the weather and went swimming. The bold girls challenged our weak boys to a game of baseball and basketball. Hotdogs were served. June June was a hot, but busy month with two week-end trips in view. The first was E.A.Z.'s trip to New York, which was both cultural and entertaining. The second was a Rainbow outing. Expecting a cool swim after our long trip from the bus, we were disappointed to find the pool unfilled. Despite this handi- cap we had a grand time playing baseball, lounging around, eating and dancing by the firelight at night, and not to forget the water snake. 50 Class Diary July Parting was such sweet sorrow, so we flocked together at Lake Tarramagus for a Sunday, with Dr. Motten as guest of honor. i August Summer term is rather quiet with only co-ops and accelerated students in school. School closes for four weeks vacation. September. Hooray!!! we're seniors!!! We started our second year at Hillyer minus many of our friends due to the draft and various other reasons, and were greeted by a new Dean. To orient the Freshmen, we had a get-together-tea. With past experience and much planning, we managed to make initiation week most antagonizing for the Freshmen. We wonder who got the worst end of it? . . . Climax . . . Initiation Party. October The ill feeling caused in the previous month was remedied by a Halloween dance in which the Freshmen and Seniors really became better known to each other!!! November November will long be remembered by the outstanding Thanksgiving Convocation which was planned and carried out by the students. From the skit that was presented Touche became a friendly greeting in the Hillyer Halls. The Yale-Dartmouth game was attended by E.A.Z., and also attracted many other Hillyerites. December Dim Lights . . . Gowns . . . Orchestra . . . Yes, it was our first formal at Hillyer. During the Christmas vacation the Alumni from various senior colleges returned with high hopes of victory over the Hillyer basketball team. We won -der who won? 1945 January Crash! Bang! lighted candles . . . the solemn oath . . . it was the initiation of the honor students in the E. A. Z. The Hillyer Hustlers with a large enrollment elected officers. Ex-servicemen organized a basketball team to play Freshmen. The victors -? February The Hustlers packed, and go on their way. Where to -lf? We cannot say. For you see, we wrote this On an early day, Before the Hustlers hustled away. March The March wind stronger than our will, drew us forth in the fifth term. A Sport's Night was given with dancing and games At which there were started, Many new flames. April Mother and Daughter tea given by the Women's Conference League. May Open house for High school students and friends. Red-letter day for Hillyer. June Graduation. We have successfully crossed the hurdles of education, and with diploma in hand, we confidently face whatever the future holds. 31 p.,,.Q.ai??:.
