IN RETROSPECT We ' re gazing rather wistfully back through time to the day we, the class of 1946, officially became freshmen. At that time, we were one hundred fifty-six strong. It may seem funny now, but on that first day we were very excited and just a bit frightened at the thought of actually being freshmen. We may have been green, as all freshies supposedly are, but we succeeded in electing fine officers: Ruth Mosier, president; Harry Johnston, vice-president; and Melvin Maxwell, secretary-treasurer. Miss McCoy and Mr. Young were our sponsors for the year. Then we were sophomores. Guess we were really important. Our number decreased somewhat, as we numbered only one hundred and four. We enthusiastically joined the clubs which suited our various tastes. Again we went about the task of selecting officers, and again we were successful in electing efficient ones: Austin Godsey, president; Jack Abbott, vice-president; and Martha Lou Miller, secretary-treasurer. Our sponsors were Miss Ossenburg and Mr. Ostermeyer. As juniors we began some serious thinking. We shouldered more responsibility and work. We started the year off with a bang by re¬ electing Austin Godsey as our president. Jim Goss was our vice-presi¬ dent; Joanne Hickman, our treasurer; and Ruth Finney, our secretary. In our class play, Early to Bed—Early to Rise, we displayed the grand array of talent we possessed. The second semester of our junior year we were busy as bees” planning the prom, which took place in a beautiful Indian village, (The old gym). Mrs. Prewitt and Mr. Bowers sponsored us then when we were seventy-six strong. Now we enter the last lap of our journey through the space of time— we ' re seniors. Miss Rose and Mr. McGlasson, our sponsors, have been patient with us through this tedious year. Our number has decreased greatly since we began this journey because now we number only seventy-four. It ' s election time again so we ran Austin Godsey for a third term and, of course, he ' s our president. Jim Goss, vice-Dresident; Joanne Hickman, treasurer; and Gloria Schnaiter, secretary; wind up as our other officers and we ' re very proud of them. Now we ' ve taken our place in the long procession of time, and we go about the activities of all senior classes: our class play, Class Day, Baccalaureate, and finally the most important of all—Commencement. 12
