Keep Them Flying We Dedicate to Tomorrow

We, the graduating classes of 1945, in this our year of glorious yet solemn victory, do dedicate ourselves and our Chronicle to a future of peace—a world unmarred by the ter­ rors of wars and tyrants; one which upholds the principles of true democracy which we have been taught to love and cherish since childhood, a world in which people will not have forgot­ ten how to laugh—a world about which man has been dream­ ing from time immemorial. Yet in our triumph and eagerness for the future we must not forget those boys who will not be present to partake of this unbelievable peace. It is only fitting, therefore, that we, in memory of those many valiant boys, do dedicate ourselves to the task of preserving this long desired peace. Chronicle Builders

From the Superintendent— In this, our year of victory, we look forward to a better America and a better world; an America which has her present desirable qualities and has developed additional desirable ones; an America which serves her people and which has a friendly interest in all the people of the world; an America which is free from fear of attack and has no desire to attack any ether nation. America is being well served by those in her military forces but America is also served by those who give her intelligent leadership, those who vote intelligently and those who serve their community faithfully. A good citizen is continually endeavoring to be a better citizen. Your school presents to its students the necessary tools and offers to them a fund of information which, if accepted by them, will make America more nearly the country we desire. The tools are the ability to read with understand­ ing and to express one's self with clarity. The information will cause them to love America with understanding, to serve her loyally, and to recognize propaganda against her interests promptly. The America we look forward to is your America! May you help to keep her great and good!

From the Principal— Victory on the battlefronts of the world should mean a new era of opportunity for young people. Our armed forces present us with a new world. What we do with that world is in your hands. Your elders largely failed to grasp the peace following the victory of the first war. This victory will be a victory by young people and our peace can only be won by the young people of today. Seek your place in life with the thought of this obligation fixed firmly in your mind. This is the challenge in this year of victory. Say It and Write It Correctly

20 From Out of the Past Don't try to pull that! We know there aren't any elevators. Sure we were smart as freshies; but we didn't let the seniors know it. Our first year consisted of getting acquainted with AHS, its teachers, and its stu­ dents. We managed to get around and also t o get underfoot. We had to wait until our classmates from State Street came down to join us and then as lOB's we choose officers. Earl "Charlie" Sheehan was chosen to wield the gavel, Margie Whitaker became our "keeper of the minutes" and Bob Bay dealt with the cash. We selected Miss Eleanor Garman as our patroness. We now faced the reality of earning money for our prom. We earned more than enough by selling Fall Varieties' tickets, a record that hadn't yet been broken by anyone when we left. We had three class parties. Two were at Silver Park and one was in the gym. We played baseball at the parties at Silver Park and what teams we had. (Brook­ lyn Dodgers, here we come!) What no one of us will never forget is the party in the gym! We spent the evening dancing and playing games. Who will forget the next day when we were all brought to task for spilling sticky cider all over the gym floor? Of course we thought our prom was the "best ever" and so it was, under the able direction of "Barb" Hoierman and Earl Bacon. The theme selected was a Plantation Prom. We had a large porch with colonial columns around it, a grassy spot furnished with sun umbrellas and tables and chairs. We went almost "mad" stringing up the lattice work with flowers. Earl Jones and his orchestra really had the place jumping. They were seated behind a banister with Plan­ tation Prom upon it. It was really a solid prom—we think. Next came that mad dash which accompanies the last semester. We gave our Senior Play—"June Mad" and absolutely, impartially, we state that it was "tops." Caps and gowns had to be ordered—also name cards—also invitations. Our class pins and rings came in the first of the semester and this is a time we'll always remember. This Chronicle staff was organized and began its mad routines. Friendship pictures and name cards floated around—everyone made a last effort to try to study. Senior chapel zoomed up next and with only one rehearsal we put on a really magnificent chapel. (Nothing conceited about us—that's a plain fact!) After a round of banquets and dances and social activities came the serious note which really made us think, baccalaureate. How long we shall remember Reverend John V. Stephens' words of hope for us as we face a war torn world. He stated "This is indeed a great time to be alive,"—and he proved it. Last of all came our commencement on January 25 with two of our class members as speakers and Martin V. Coffey, American Legion Vice Commander as guest speaker. Black and Crimson were our class colors and our motto was: "Today Our Best; To­ morrow Success." And now as we bid farewell to A. H. S. remember that even though we are not with you in body, we shall always, in spirit wish you: "Good Luck, AHS."

26 We Do Will and Bequeath We the members of the January class of '45 do will and bequeath the following: To Warren Walker, Earl Sheehan leaves his gavel and his all-round ability. To "Jo" Need, Barbara Hoierman leaves her glowing personality. Jack Robinson leaves his football shoes to next year's team. Earl Bacon leaves his ability to make the girls swoon to Jimmie Dorman. Carolyn Everth leaves her Latin book—with a sigh of relief—to all the little "freshies." Delores Cerresetti, Mary Trieff, and Olive Vitalarri leave their dancing feet to any­ one who needs them. Jack "Reggie" Miller leaves his ability to snoop out the gossip to the future "Reg­ gies" of A. H. S. Margaret Hunter wills her grades in sociology to Mr. Shreve's classes. Virgil "Midge" Kynett sends to Tommy Lotze his stature. Norma Muffly leaves her dainty loveliness to Donna Day (as if she needs it). To all you fellows we leave Jack Post's reputation as an all around good guy. To June Lyons and Flora Ianotti, we seniors leave all our empty lockers—not that they need any more room. To "Boogie" Steen, Shirley Niswonger leaves her quietness. (Are we kidding?) Don Albright leaves his way with the females to "Jackie" Thomas. Murray Rhue leaves his temper to "Rosie" Cironi in hopes that he doesn't get hit by a shoe. To the boys at Fletcher General Hospital, Sally Wagner leaves her military number. To those of you who get out on the wrong side of bed, Beth Borradaile leaves her all-time good humor. "Ron" Moroney leaves his designing ability to Hattie Carnegie. Bob Bay leaves his ability to balance the books to all the future financiers of A.H.S. To anyone who can match it, we leave "Margie" Whitaker's athletic ability. To Mr. Webb we leave the singing and dancing in the upstairs halls after rallies. To Miss McKibben we leave Jim Carr's ability to get his arm in a sling. (Both would be glad to get rid of it.) Virgil Bench and Tony Antonisonti leave their "navy ways" to all the future "gobs". To all students of A. H. S. we leave our ability to get along with the teachers and our ability to get around without passes. (You have to be a fast talker to do either). To Broadway we leave our production of "June Mad" which they can try to equal. To everyone, teachers and students, and especially to our patroness, Miss Eleanor Garman, we leave our thanks for a grand time. We won't soon forget it.

27 We Entertained a la Scarlett O'Hara

We, as HA's, gave the class of January 1944 the thrill of a life time when we gave them our Plantation Prom on the night of January 8, 1944. The gym, where the dance was held, was really the most beautiful sight you might ever want to see. The center of the gym represented a balcony of an old-fashioned white-pillared home of the South. Earl Jones and his orchestra, with Shirley Sadler as featured vocalist, played at one side of the gym which represented the end of the bal­ cony. At one end of the gym there were grass, deck chairs, and an umbrella table, while at the opposite end was a refreshment stand with representatives of the June 1945 class serving. At both ends were trellises with beautifully designed flowers while the ceiling was a mass of stars. During intermission Earl Sheehan presided as Master of Ceremonies. Marie Evans did a fast tap routine. A quartet, made up of Norma Muffly, Shirley Niswonger, Caro­ lyn Everth, and Barbara Hoierman sang "My Heart Tells Me". A comedy dance was also a main feature with Jack Post, Jack Robinson, Bob Bay, and Al Rastetter dressed in girls' formals. Invitations for the seniors were designed by Ronald Moroney. They were in the shape of a little southern girl in a hoop skirt. The programs were pictured with a colored mammy and pappy holding a big ball of cotton. Barbara Hoierman and Earl Bacon wer co-chairmen of the prom assisted by Jean Zeiner, decorations; Norma Muffly, entertainment; Jack Elton, program; Mary Ann San- dru, invitations; and Margaret Whitacre.

Back row, left to right: Thelma Taylor, Thelma Fickes, Shirley Niswonger, George Dietrich, Betty Stewart, Earl Sheehan, Walter Spall. Front row, left to right: Jack Post, Margaret Whitacre, Ronald Moroney, Earl Bacon, Dorothy Rnff, Donald Albright.

Snow flurries whirled about Alliance folk as they excitedly made their way to the Alliance High School auditorium where the January Senior Class of 1945 was to present June Mad, a sparkling comedy of modern youth. The story concerns Penny Wood, played by Betty Jane Stewart, and Chuck Harris, George Dietrich, the boy next door, as they go about the frequently difficult, but always amusing business of growing up. When Penny's Uncle Merwyn, Don Albright, only five years older than she, brings Roger Van Vleck, Ronald Moroney, a senior and a killer- diller, home from college, she forgets she is a man-hater and succumbs to an attack of calf love which is ten degrees worse than measles. In her efforts to make herself at­ tractive to the fascinating Roger, she almost disrupts two families, but the discovery that Roger is double-crossing Merwyn by trying to steal his girl, Thelma Taylor, brings her back to normal, and, incidentally, to Chuck. Mr. and Mrs. Wood were played by Earl Sheehan and Shirley Niswonger; and Mr. Harris, by Walter Spall. Milly Lou, Shir­ ley and Ralph Wentworth were played by Thelma Fickes, Dorothy Ruff, and Earl Bacon, respectively. The two unforgettable domestics, Effie and Elmer, were played by Mar­ garet Whitacre and Jack Post. Martha Myers understudied all the girls' parts, while Earl Bacon was the under­ study for the boys'. Norma Muffly, chairman of the Property Committee, was assisted by Robert McMinn who was in charge of the stage. Corrine Stivers handled the make­ up work while Jean Zeiner, chairman of the publicity committee, attracted Alliance to the performance of June Mad.

In a few weeks how­ ever, seniors ceased to star; we stopped searching for room numbers and began to feel at home in our new environment. Then just as we were nearing the end of our first semester, the Japs attacked Pearl Harbor. Few of us realized the number of our classmates who would be in their coun­ try's service before we received our final diplomas. With our ranks reinforced by State Streeters, we held our first election at the begin­ ning of our sophomore year. Warren Walker was elected to wield the gavel while Artina Weaver was chosen to act as vice president. The secretarial duties were handed to Don­ na Day and Joan Need took charge of the class finances. Miss Bertha Marmet accepted the patronage of the class. Folk dancing under the leadership of Miss Lucile Pettis furnished the entertainment for our first social affair which was held in the high school gym. Treva Hostettler was the chairman for the occasion. With our big challenge, the Junior-Senior Prom, looming ahead, as HB's we decided to sell Fall Varieties' tickets. When the final results were tabulated, our class had sold a total of 1153 tickets. Setting sail under the captaincy of Treva Hostettler and Bob Lang, our prom, "The U. S. S. Victory", was held May 13 in the high school gym. "A sailor's dream", was the comment of all as they walked up the gang plank to the tune of "Anchors Aweigh". Under the supervision of Coe Wadelin, Student Council representative, we held our final election at the beginning of our senior year. All class officers were reelected. Then we reached our goal: we were 12A's. In the midst of friendship pictures and senior themes, we presented our play, "The Fighting Littles", before an appreciative audience. In future years when we look back on our high school days, the trials of the Littles will bring a smile to many a face and will help brighten many a dark hour. With the arrival of the prom, senior banquet, senior chapel, and the never-to-be- forgotten exams came the realization that our high school careers were nearing an end. On June 3 we made our initial appearance in the traditional cap and gown for baccalaur­ eate services. Commencement! Proud but sad we received our diplomas June 7. Proud of our accomplishments during the past four years but saddened by the thoughts of those who should have been with us but instead were fighting so that others would be following in our footsteps in the future. Thus with the colors blue and silver symbolizing our high school life, we march forth from our Alma Mater filled with confidence in the future.

I, Lewis Stoffer, do will and bequeath my boogie-woogie to Neal McGowan. I, Don Lawther, do will and bequeath my speed on the football field to Dick Strait. I, Joann Ryan, do will and bequeath my dimpled smiles to Joy Ann Stevenson. I, Warren Walker, do will and bequeath my presidential (class of course) ability to Andy Bratu. We, the class of June 1945, do will and bequeath the ever faithful and ever patient oversight of Miss Bertha Marmet, to the next class fortunate enough to have her for its patroness. We, from the class of June 1945 who are now in the armed forces, do will and be­ queath to all those who helped give us nearly four years of happy fellowship in Alli­ ance High, our sincere appreciation. Keep the "Home Fires Burning."

43 We Danced on Shipboard

Up the gangplank and down into the ball room of our victory ship and there it was . . . our Junior-Senior prom we gave for the June Class of '43. Blue and white decorations made up the background of the ship's ballroom with white life preservers cast on the railings. The bandstand as a lifeboat, the gangplank as the entrance, and the galley where we sipped cool punch and munched crisp cookies, completed the decorations. Giving still more Navy atmosphere were the passports which served as invitations. In each was a picture of that individual and a description also. White sailor hats were given as favors and the white and blue dance programs were also a novelty. Our grand march theme was "Anchors Aweigh" played by Earl Jones and his orchestra who were serving as our ship musicians. During the intermission we launched some of our class talent. Lorena Burnell, Lorna Wymer, Joann Ryan, and Betty Yurjevic making up a quartet, sang several num­ bers. Margaret "Sis" Cassidy and Sally Wagner did a comedy dance routine and Thelma Taylor entertained with* a reading. After intermission we went on with our dancing until the last note of the theme song died away. Taking with us fond memories of our Victory Prom, we walked down the gangplank with music still ringing in our ears.
