Class QU48 Advisers: Miss Luebbing, Mrs. Andersen, Mr. Lawrence President: Lee Mitchell VicefPresident: Ollie Mackert SecretaryfTreasurer: Betty Young Do You Remember? ' Do you remember how you felt when we were freshmen? That was four long years ago. A lot has happened to our class since then. Do you remember how we worked each year for our king and queen? Neal Steinhoff and Lorna Luebbing surely made good senior candidates. As juniors we worked hard on Stardust and oversold the house. The proceeds from this we used to send the class of '47 off whistling a Rhapsody 'in Blue, and this year we are guests at the prom. Speaking of plays, I laughed at ffznumjf Thaw 'til I thought I'd die. A battalion of fifteen boys represented us at Boys' State lst summer. Through a last' minute writefin election, Buck Stout was elected Governor, and Ron Jeffery was elected Secretary of State to boot. They shook the hand of the President of the United States. Sheriff Sally Rideout and Secretary of State Mary Ellen Broge were at Girls' State then. Student Government Day saw Mayor Buck Stout running the city, Willie Sandifer running the police department, and Elmo Kerr managing the hose house. President Lee Mitchell and Mr. Spudich 28 certainly showed us a good time at this school's first allfschool Hallowe'en party. This year has brought us a fine new agriculf tural building and a car for our driving course. It seems as if Freeport always has a good debate team, but why shouldn't it with men like Bob Higley. fEver been in his history class?J Football came back strong this season after two years crippled by polio. You can't have a bad season when fellows even come out on crutches to practice, Mitch we mean. Uur basketball team certainly didn't lack spirit, and that's the most important thing. Web was pretty proud of our track team's winning the district last year. These things and loads of others far too numerous to mention go to make up the his- tory of the class of '48, And now we are graduating, some will go to college, some will go to Work, but we will always remember F.H.S., the good times we had here and what they taught us here. Now we are going out to join the world's millions to work, to sweat, and to make this old planet a little better place on which to live. -Sheldon Best, '48
