CLASS OF 1947 EIGHTH GRADE The eighth year in school is a happy one. While still being the biggest frogs in the grammar school puddle, you young elves and sprites can look forward to next year when you will be full-fledged high school students. You’ll be participating in Rock Rivalry, joining senior high clubs and electing class officers. You have already proved yourselves an active class through your splendid record of War Stamp purchases, through your active Student Senate representatives and, through your athletic boys, some of whom performed in the gym exhibition this year. We old ones envy you and wish you Godspeed. 22

CLASS OF 1948 SEVENTH GRADE From year to year we Seniors have watched new seventh-graders come and go, and to us your class has seemed the most grown-up and mature. You’ve ably represented yourselves in the Student Senate and have spoken with wise forethought when you felt called upon to do so. You’ve adapted yourselves most admirably to your surroundings, obeying the codes of the Forest and putting the Senior High School to shame with your enthusiastic attendance of athletic events and other activities. In a couple of years as Freshmen, you’ll have the other classes very much worried when it comes time for Rock Rivalry. So the best to you, and happy days ahead! 21

CLASS OF 1946 FRESHMAN CLASS Coming quickly into the limelight this year, you Freshman certainly have shown yourselves a class which is sure to reach the top. Your high spirits during Rock Rivalry made the upper classmen sit up and take notice, and when you presented your entrance on the big night, ve really were worried. Ginny Woelfle and Buster Caine's lovely voices contributed a great deal to the entertainment of the evening. Alice Lane's dagger dance was a very graceful sight. And so, as we seniors leave you, we hope you will have as good a time, and be as happy in the Enchanted Forest, as we have been. 23
