THE JAGUAR It’s April 11, it’s the DEADLINE. Everything must be in the bag by 3AO. Go to Mr. Porter for that softball picture.” Mary Elizabeth, is the copy in on ' Reminiscing’?” Barbara, have you typed that copy?” Farnum, there are two pages of ads to be set up.” Sonja says she has an ad for that last quarter page!” Three-fifty and we’ve done it! We’ve met the DEADLINE. It’s weird to recall all the things that can happen to the best laid schemes of a year book staff. Remember the agony of getting the boys to school in ties” for pictures, and how it rained for the baseball picture? Have those softball uniforms come which the girls waited for so long before finally posing in jeans? Then there’s the copy on ads to get, even after you’ve solicited the ad! Nothing easy about that! We’ve worked and worried, and loafed and laughed, but we hope we’ve delivered the goods. So, in a happy mood, we say thanks” to certain people for their service and cooperation. The Jaguar 1947 will be typical of various phases of school because the organizations which make up the school sought representation at the sacrifice of their treasurers’ last dime! The students who have subscribed and the merchants who have advertised have made it possible financially. The willingness of faculty members to tolerate non-attendance in classes for year book duties enabled the work to go forward. These things and hard work have made The Jaguar 1947, an actuality. Now, we give it to you. Take it away! We’re going to celebrate. THE STAFF EDITOR Louis Trombo BUSINESS STAFF Barbara Nalls. Richard Waterval. Farnum Johnson. . Manager Assistant Manager .

SCINC February 14, Valentine’s Day, was a busy one. In the morning five students took the Pepsi-Cola Scholarship examination. They ap¬ peared somewhat nervous but now seem to have completely recovered, especially Mary Fay Osborn, who had the good fortune of winning the four-year scholarship. That evening was the Sweetheart Dance. Beth Henry was crowned Sweetheart of F. C. H. C. She was very lovely as was her entire court. The best holidays and most unexpected ones of the year came in February when the snow really blanketed the ground. There was coast¬ ing, snowballing, and just plain plowing through in order to get to one’s destination. We couldn’t forget about the basketball games, since we won the tournament. We can well be proud of our basketball players. In the beginning the outlook was not too hopeful; however, they really came through and fought hard. The second annual Honor Society dance was held March 21, at the National Airport. The number of people present made it a very nice dance. Balloons were floating around but some demons present popped most of them. We have already said that the Senior Play was wonderful. The Juniors chose Campus Quarantine. Sounds good, doesn’t it? We can’t say here just how good it was for as we go to press the cast is still working hard for an ex¬ cellent performance. Oh, yes, the Prom, we can only anticipate that—the big event of the year! The Seniors all feel confident the Juniors are planning an exceptionally wonderful dance. Graduation day for the Seniors is coming. On June 11, we will say g ood bye. Looking back on it all, we’ll say, It was good while it lasted.”
