SENIOR SECTION THE ACORN PAGE FIVE (Elaas ?itistnrij Will THE G-ATE WE to Goc o Jobs 3e opeMed to you 1 Q aduatia+t fyan. Glali. o-j '47 Over one hundred years ago a Ken- tucky farm boy had his “commence- ment.’' To him it was not the end of his education in a school, but it was rather his advance from the duties of family life to going out in- to the world on his own way. For his commencement there were no gradu- ation exercises, no cap and gown, and no announcements. That man was Abraham Lincoln. Tonight nearly one hundred sen- iors of this school will have their commencement. For some it will be another step in their path of super- vised education. For many it will be the termination of their instruction in schools. But for all it will be the end of a colorful era in their lives and the commencement of new re- sponsibilities and duties. To all, as to Lincoln, commence- ment brings with it a feeling of ma- turity. There is the realization that at last one is “on his own.” To Lin- coln. advancement from household education to a man’s duties was a test of his fitness for a new routine of living. This year’s graduates will be tested in much the same manner. This class will be judged individu- ally and collectively by those in a position to be of help to these gradu- ates. As shown in the drawing above, the high school record will be con- sidered in judging the graduate who applies for a job. Those persons who hold good records can feel justly proud of their accomplishments in obtaining it. With this thought in mind, we wish good luck to the Class of ’47. The freshman class of 1943-44 numbered nearly 200 students with 40 honor students the first term. Officers were soon elected; the returns showed Marian Field—presi- dent, Delbert Swartzentruber—vice-presi- dent, Betty Kildow—secretary, and Billy Kildow—treasurer. The main social event of the year was the freshman party which was held March 8, 1944. Those who attended will remember the success and entertainment of the party. For an introduction to the program of the evening Warren Mann “beat out’’ a fast tempo on the drums which was followed by the mellow, eroony voices of Jack Liller and Bill Kildow as they sang “This Is A Lovely Way to Spend An Evening.” One can remember the silvery notes played by James Smart on his clarinet personifying Benny Goodman and the soft, sweet music of Jimmy Dorsey’s sax characterized by Bill Stanton. The next year Nancy Foster was elected president of the class and the class party was again set for March 8. Amusement for the evening was a bathing beauty contest presented by six boys of the class: Jack Teets, Billy Stanton, Darwin Martin, Harold Bachtel, Jimmy Smart, and Delbert Swartzentruber. Billy Stanton, clad in South American dress, did a number which could hardly have been out-done by Car- men Miranda herself. The junior year was one of the loveliest when the class felt so important yet it was at its blindest stage. Jimmy Smart was elected president, Nina Faubcr—vice-presi- dent, Lois Burger—secretary, Mary Hoult —treasurer. Donald Depollo’s orchestra was selected for the prom. An Hawaiian theme was set for the prom and Hawaiian leis and memory cards were distributed. Another junior memory was the Thanks- giving Day assembly, Turkey Turns the Tables,” presented by III A. Jack Liller Beth Shirer, Betty Lantz, and Ernest Oren- dorf had parts in the play. The play ended with Jack Liller, the hero, confessedly stating, “I guess all three of us are a couple o’ dopes.” The senior year was filled with many activities for the class—ordering name cards, announcements, taking pictures and measurements for caps and gowns. Glenn Hansford was elected president of the sen- ior class, vice-president—Milton Fike, sec- retary—Nina Fauber, treasurer—Ina Claire Jenkins. The last social event of the year was senior class day which was held June 5. After spending a busy year in social events and studying, the class prepared for graduation.
