Senior Class History One bright, September day, four years ago, seventeen green freshmen trooped into our beloved Augusta High School. We came through our initiation with flying colors and settled down to skipping classes and numer- ous double assignments. Betty McBratney was chosen cheerleader. We elected our class officers making Walter Parker, presi- dent; Jerry Dirkes, vice president; and Betty McBratney, secretary treasurer. Both boys and girls went out for basketball. Somehow we got through our freshman year without any casualties. 1948 rolled around and we started our sophomore year with thirteen strong. This was the year that we gained JoAnne Me Lean, who became a cheerleader, and lost Eloyse Kennedy, Larry Chamberlain, Melvyn Jackson, Harold fthite, and William Stevens. We chose Donald Heaney as president; Betty McBratney, vice president; and JoAnne Me Lean, secre- tary treasurer. Three of the feminine mem- bers of our class made the girls’ championship basketball team this year. All-in-all it proved to be a successful year. On entering school the first day of our junior year, we met our new superintendent, Mr. Tuomi. JoAnne Me Lean was again chosen for cheerleader and we picked Mr. Sherwood as our class advisor. He and our class officers, along with the rest of our class, led us successfully through the big event of the year, our senior prom. Our theme for the prom was a rose garden and was de- clared one of the most beautiful proms ever held in Augusta High School. Betty McBrat- ney was elected president; Jim Fischer, vice president; and Carolyn Kestner as secretary treasurer. Betty McBratney was chosen by the seniors to be assistant editor of the an- nual and Donald Heaney as assistant business manager. Bob Garrison and Donald Heaney played on the sub-district championship foot- ball team. We ordered our rings and received them in January. We were very pleased with them and believe it or not, a few members still have theirs. Betty McBratney was chosen to represent Augusta at Girls’ State. On September 5, 1950, fourteen bright- eyed, intelligent seniors made their way through the front doors of Augusta High School for their fourth and final year (we hope). We elected Donald Heaney as president; Pat Shannon, vice president; and Howard Bowman as secretary treasurer. Once again JoAnne Me Lean was given the honor of leading the pep squad. Betty McBratney moved into the position of editor of the Wapiti and Elsie Joseph was chosen from the junior class to be assistant editor. They had an excellent staff of helpers. December 1 was picked as the date to have our graduation pictures taken. This, our last year, is perhaps the hap- piest, and yet the saddest, of all four years. On May 23, 1951, fourteen seniors, bold, am- bitious, and anxious, ended their great high school careers. We have accomplished four years of education and we will never forget our wonderful years together at Augusta High School. 9
