Waterford High School When plans were in a “muss” And we rode to our Junior Banquet, On a Waterford-Thomas St. bus. This year has been our year of years. It’s ’44 you know, And every one in the Senior Class, Sees that it’s time to go. But let me tell you ’45 gang, There won’t always be a war; Your years ahead are better than ours, With wonderful things in store. Maybe next year ’twill all be over, And Senior hearts will be in clover ’Cause Texaco gas at a cent a gallon Is sold on the corner by old Fred Allen. And Major Bowes to every new star, Gives away free, a Chrysler car, ’Tis then that you’ll hold those Proms again, You’ll laugh, we’re sure—but we can’t say when. So Juniors—when you read the lore Of the famous Class of ’44, Please note that we, the Senior gang, Hope that the future holds quite a “bang” For next to us—we think you’re swell, Our noble successors—we wish you well! Norma H. Diehl Tiventy-seven

Waterford High School First we have Lourdes Bouchard, with her keen and sparkling wit, As a radio comedienne she’s sure to be a hit. And Ray Conklin with his nonchalant air. As a man about town, he’s so devil may care. And little Don Dudden with his manner so shy, Will be mayor of Waterford ere time goes by. While Marian Coonradt so slight and slender, As a lady bouncer her services will render. And Edna Higgins who has a way with the men, Is now being courted by no less than ten. Betty Brcault, we all know, is a jitterbug at heart, In Arthur Murray’s studio she’s bound to get her start. And Helen Brown, a shy, modest student, Will be a good business woman because she’s so prudent. And Francis Forget so witty and gay, As a radio announcer will get a huge pay. And Bob Berard who’s a sensible fellow, ‘ Has gone in for music and is playing the cello. Then comes Marvin Ilazzard, a brilliant lad is he, He’s since become a lawyer, and collects a monstrous fee. And Winifred Breen so slender and fair, Has taken to dancing, and is teamed with Astaire. And Richard Bills with his dark curly hair, Has been hired by Fitch’s and is now on the air. (W.G.Y.) And Lena Falcone with her vigor and vim, Is now a Powers Model because she’s so slim. While Betty Gurka who strives for the best, Has bought a Dude Ranch and is living out West. And Josephine Gimmelli so peppy and jolly, Is starred in New York as the Queen of the Follies.
