y F a c u I t Although our teachers could have left Clark for higher paying jobs in industry, many of them faithfully remained in school. Several instructors were added to the GRC faculty this year. Included among them were Mr. Emerson Aldrich, mathematics teacher and assistant football and basketball coach; Miss Dorothy Clark and Miss Harriette Shoe- maker, English instructors; Mrs. Rebekah Eddy, Latin teacher; Miss Leota Kenzie, physical education advisor; and Mrs. Shirley Wilson, nurse. Because of the resignation of Mr. Max W. Beaty, former Publications Director, Mrs. Doris Fuller was obtained as journalism instructor. As their social activities the teachers held their annual banquet at Christmas and their spring picnic in May.

Besides carrying on their regular class work teachers have often helped students find their way through perplexing problems and difficulties. For this reason the faculty members at Clark are not just teachers, but friends to the students. In addition to this many of the teachers act as sponsors for the numerous clubs in school. Combining a love of teaching with a fine sense of humor and a sincere interest in the physical and mental health of each student, our teachers have done their part in keeping the George Rogers Clark Creed — ' To the best of our ability we shall en- deavor to faithfully serve our school. Honor and uphold its name. Strive for high scholarship, citizenship, and sportsmanship. ” ■■■ Page Fourteen

Seniors 1944 In the fall of 1943 GRC welcomed the freshman, the Class of ’47. Under the guid- ance of Miss Ida Iversen, the students chose Jim Eggers, president; Bob Tallman, vice- president; Sally Roberts, secretary; and Arthur Powell, treasurer. The Freshies” made known their ' enthu- siasm and perserverance by topping the magazine subscription drive. The first social function of the class was a Freshman mixer. Their initial school dance, The Victory Stamp,” followed. 1945 Under the leadership of President Paul Voreacos, Vice-President Dave Roberts, Sec- retary Donna Stumph, and Treasurer Mack Foreman, the sophomores prepared for their Thanksgiving dance, The Cranberry Crawl.” The class abandoned tradition to select its motto, flower, and colors in the sophomore year. The class history was recorded as it was made. 1946 As the junior year became a reality, the class elected Dave Roberts, president; Art Gasenica, vice-president; Mary Jane Quinn, secretary; and Joe Dolak, treasurer. Following the Valentine Vamp,” the class 19 4 7 dance, the junior play, a comedy named Help Yourself,” became another noteworthy success. Breaking tradition, the class held the prom, Moonbeam Mist,” at Madura’s Danceland, June 7. 1947 Feeling that once again capable offiicers would help them accept the responsibility of leadership, the Senior Class named Ted Wiley, president; Mack Foreman, vice-presi- dent; Donna Faye Stumph, secretary; and Arthur Powell, treasurer. The class presented its Christmas dance, Winter Wonderland,” without an orchestra. Double Door,” a mystery drama, proved a hit. Twins Sally and Dave Roberts were the DAR winners. For the first time in GRC history co-vale- dictorians were named. They were Ted W iley and Bill Vobach. And so as another graduating class passes through the portals of George Rogers Clark, it will proceed into the hazy expectations of the future, but the Class of ' 47 has left its indelible mark in the history of its Alma Mater.
