HOWE HIGH YEARBOOK Klum Jfalaltofzy The Howe High track was clearland strong when through the tunnel came the Freshmen Class, '47. The new locomotive had just begun its four-year journey. Under the leadership of the train's officials-Douglas Hall, Anna McCusker, Dorothea Sands, and Robert Austin,-the group set off. They were ably advised by Miss Mary Kierce. Many good times were enjoyed during the first year's journey. A Valentine Dance was sponsored by the group on February 18. Before stopping the train for summer vacation, the Class of '47 ran a roller skating party at Dolan's Casino. It was a most enjoyable night. On June 24, the train made its first stop for summer vacation. That following September the Freshman Class, '47, became the Sophomore Class, '47. The train, this time, gained more speed, being a little more experienced on the track. This time the officers were John Knight, Anna McCusker, Gladys Marynowski, and Robert Austin. The adviser again was Miss Mary Kierce. The Sophomores held a dance, in celebration of Halloween, and also a roller skating party. Once again the train stopped for a few months during summer vacation. The third year found the Class of '47 ready for its big event, .the Junior Prom, Stardust, to be held on May 17. A most enjoyable time was had by all, and the class received many compliments for their efforts. This year the officers were John Knight, Grace Martell, Eileen Hurley, and Robert Austin. Our conductor this year was Miss Patricia Royal, succeeding Miss Kierce, who had resigned her position at Howe High to enter business. The Senior Play, Mr. Pim Passes By, starring Elsa Tuttle, William MacDonald, Eileen Hurley, John Marshall, Stanley Hedberg, Shirley Blair, and Nancy Gasser, with Duchess as their mascot, was ably coached by Miss E. Ruth Belcher and was acclaimed one of the best of the dramatic productions to be seen at Howe. The Tri-Delta Girls' Club held a Victory Hop, and several other successful parties. The officers were Eleanor Swanson, Marion Watts, Lois Smith, and Grace Martell. They were ably advised by Miss Mary Wood. At last, Class of '47 reached its final destination-Graduation-on June 18, 1947, to terminate a four-year journey of cherished memories and friendships. J OAN SCANLAN .. 18 -
