MARIE G. OKEEFE To Mrs. O'Keefe, our financial adviser, who has been that and so much more, the Class wants to express its gratitude. Thank you, Mrs. O'Keefe, for the constant smile, the gracious man- ner, the Wholehearted enthusiasm, that have added so much to our years at Western.

ESTHER S. OSSERMANN By far the most difficult debt to pay is a debt of gratitude. There is no way that we can fully express to Mrs. Ossermann our appreciation for her inexhaustible patience, her generous help, and her tactful guidance in everything that '44 has undertaken. We can only say that in the future she will be to us a living reminder of the high ideals of our class and of our school. Now that the curtain is falling on our last year at Western, before taking our final bow, we want to extend to you, Mrs. Ossermann, a very sincere, though inadequate, thank you.

To THE CLASS OF 1944: Since your entrance into Western High School three years ago when you were given the proud title of the Centennial Class, you have made every effort to live up to the old traditions and high ideals of our school. You have been co-operative and reliable, and, as a group, responsive to all school demands. It is with sincere regret that we see you leave us-we shall miss your leadership and your fine spirit. The school is proud of your achievements, your attitude, and your high standards. You may wear the title of Class of 1944-the Centennial Class, bestowed upon you because of your fortunate graduation from Western at this time, with justifiable pride in knowing how well you deserve it. As your principal, I should like to wish each one of you every good thing in life. May our high hopes for you be realized, and may you number your years at Western among the happiest of your life, Principal,
