V • As we, the class of 1940, entered our freshman year in high school hack in the year 194 2, we little knew the ups and downs of high school life. However, our minds were soon developed as we buckled down to the actual tasks of becoming good classmen under the devoted guidance of Miss Myra Fleet. The following year, 1943, with a few less old members and some new ones added, we entered the new Central School as Sophomores. We had now passed our trial year and were plunged into a new life under our pleasant advisor, Miss Phyllis Roberts. The Junior class of 1944. now more sagacious and ambitious, resumed their studies under the guidance of Mrs. Armine Gurney. This year we held many parties and gave a successful Senior Ball. The Senior class of 1946, a very proud but peace-loving group, entered their last year of high school with a victorious feeling. We have reached one goal and now must go on to our varied destinations of life until we all reach the finale of our careers. Our Senior Class, we are happy to say, has gathered several new members and we have a new but erudite advisor, Miss Florence T. Garfall. We have worked hard to earn our enjoyable trip to Washington and as we are the first class in four years to make this trip, can you blame us for being proud? MARY BRANNON
