The Senior Year Book — 1945 Joe Murray, Harold West, and Russell Perry, all happily married, decided they were so happy they would begin a “Cooperative Society for the Love-Lorn,” so that everyone else could follow their formula for happiness. Tampa, Florida: Marion Cillino and Gilda Nardone set up the “Cilldone Availability Date Company.” specializing in all phases of blind date situations. Philadelphia, Pa.: Simon Majeika, writer, actor, and producer, established a “Little Theatre” here for young students interested in dramatics. New York City, N. Y.: Shirley Sisson, one of the famous Powers models, designs dresses as a mere sideline. Edith Whiteley and Adele Eusebio are exclusive perfume buyers for Town and Country Shop now run by Louise Ligouri and Barbara Rathbun. Margaret Pickering is the matron of the Y. W. C. A. center in New York City. Westerly, R. I.: Joseph Keegan, Max Factor’s representative, canvasses White Rock and Dunn’s Corner for possible new skin types. Governor of Rhode Island, William Reil-ley, maintains a summer home near the Westerly High School, where Dorothy Tate is a teacher in the business depart- ment, Ray Turco manages the school cafeteria, and Lawrence Matarese is the musical director. And so the story ends; my quest is completed. It does feel good to settle down beside the fireplace in this easy chair, with my trusty pipe at hand. Guess I’ll take a snooze. There’s just one thing I’d like to know—I wonder what I’m supposed to be? Ho, hum, maybe I’ll find out sometime; must remember to get more sleep now that I'm back. Thus, Alex Houston wrote the last line in his “Adventure Book,” laid his pen aside, and let himself succumb once more to the inviting recesses of the chair. Once more he fell asleep, and once more the sparks began to play tricks with his imagination. At long last, the chief question in his mind came to the fore. You have shown me what happens to the others ten years from now, but what will happen to me? What am I to do when the others are having their adventures?” he asked the sparks. “You, Alex,” replied the sparks, “you will be sitting in this same chair, smoking your pipe and dreaming a little perhaps. There will be plenty of girls to swoon over you and you will be happy. You will have reached your goal, Alex, for you will be the celebrated Matron of Oak lawn!

in ittruiurutm To IRENE FEDERICO Dear Ivy: Your clean sportsmanship was a shining model to many of us. Your wise leadership led more than one of us to victory when you were our captain. Your loyal friendship accompanied a few of us through an entire school life. Your gallant courage in the face of death taught a lot of us a lesson in humility. Your last prayer for peace will bring more of us home safely. Your memory will live forever in the hearts of all of us. The Class of 1945.
