And all the honors we’ve listed for the Senior Class of ’46. Just listen to this. The student body elected from the senior class three queens—in the fall they elected Mary Elizabeth Salter band queen; then in the winter they chose Ramona Wallace football queen. She reigned over the Homecoming ceremonies. At the beginning of the second semester Winona Wallace, Ramona’s twin sister, was elected F. F. A. queen and was crow tied by Bob Bates at the Parent-Son Banquet in the spring. Also at the beginning of the year, four seniors were selected by the faculty to serve as Junior Rotations. They are the three Bobs”—Ewbank, Dott, and Bates—and Deaunc McElhaney. Butch, it takes too much time and en- ergy to list all of our eleven football letter- men here, just turn to the football spread and read all about them. However, since our basketball boys did such an excellent job this year, I can’t resist telling you more about them. The four seniors on the start- ing lineup, who helped bring us the honor of holding down second place in the Mid- State Basketball Conference, are Bob Ew- bank, Bill Jacobs, Dan Rarnbo, and Hugh Swift. Oh! but those games were thrilling. Now, Butch, don’t think we’ve spent all our time in activities. Ten seniors who are members of the National Honor Society are Ray Farley, Carl Haskett, Virginia Hodge, Jennie Vee Means, Mary Elizabeth Salter, T. Jack Foster, Marie Ann Marshall, Dan Rarnbo, Wayne Wiedman, and I. Our baccalaureate services at the Me- Farlin Church were beautiful, and our commencement exercises at Holmberg Hall were very impresive. I was really saddened when I realized that we, the Seniors of 1946, would never be together again. Butch! I surely hate to leave Norman High School. A sincere friend, ELINOR SCHRIEVER. Can't you read? The Senior Float Whateha' doin' up there. Don?

Diana Rikktrt, Reporter UJene tJ Dear Butch: It doesn't seem possible that we have at- tained this grand and glorious height—that of being a senior. How wonderful to look back and remember all the super times we’ve had this gear—the superb Senior Day, the Junior-Senior party, those thril- ling football games (especially our victory over the Classen champs on Homecoming), the crowning of the football queen in regal splendor at the Homecoming assembly, the drizzly weather which ruined the beautiful floats in the parade, the excitment of pick- ing out graduation announcements and cards, and the thrill of getting our senior rings. And I mustn’t forget that darling senior girls’ assembly, those exciting queen elections, T. Jack’s “bee joke,” and—oh gosh! I could go on forever. But when you stop to think about it, we had grand times as youngsters, too. Just think of the time we entertained the seniors at the Junior-Senior Circus, (and Janie Bell’s antics while under hypnotics), the “hubba-hubba” chorus and the humorous pantomimes of Cpl. David Rubin at the Tiger Review, the State Basketball Cham- pionship. the laughs we got from the baby pictures of the teachers that were published in last year’s Trail. (Remember Miss Burke’s long curls?) And then “way-back- when” when we joined the Band, Ginger- snaps, and attended our first recognition assembly. All those things were so thril- ling, but, Butch, I must quit reminiscing and bring you up to date. For our class officers we elected a swell bunch — Bob “I’m-a-man” Ewbank was elected president; Joe “Oh-that-smile” Wal- lace, vice-president; blond Barbara “Baba” Bizzell, secretary-treasurer; and personal- ity-plus Diana Rikkers, reporter. We also ch'tse nine positively wonderf ul sponsors to help us along this year—Miss Lydia Haag, chairman, Mrs. H. V. McDermott, Mrs. W. L. Childs, Mrs. C. P. Landt, Mrs. John Cu.p, Mr. E. F. Foreman, Mr. Gordon P. Shelton, Mr. “Doc” LaFevers, and Mr. Arlo “Skivey” Davis. [18]
