President Treasurer Kenneth Davis Jo Ann Newell Vice-President Secretary If we of tlie class of ’47 think back now to those days of June '44, when our three years in C). II. S. still lav before us, we arc thinking of a different world—a world of strife anti a world at war. “D-day was yet to come, the beaches yet to be stormed, the Rhine to be crossed, Berlin to l e entered, and V-E Day, Iwo Jima, Hiroshima, the atom bomb—and other unheard of names were still to become headline news. Also V-J Day and victory for America and her allies—victory for us was to come. Again a “V day is near, but this time it is “V-Dav for the class of '47. We are the boys and girls in the ranks. Our prime ob- jective is graduation with rewards for meri- torious service. Some of the chief awards being valedictorian or salutatorian, a member of Torch Club, a class officer, a member of scholastic teams or a participant in extra- curricular clubs. Our teachers, coaches, councilors, and advisers were the officers who led us to victory in the classroom, the athletic field and gym- nasium, and on the stage. They have always led us gallantly, and we salute them. The training they have given us should certainly fit us well for the battles of life. We will not fail them that is our pledge. SENIOR CLASS SONG I'he best of our days have passed. So swiftly at 0. II. S. Knowledge and honor we’ve found. And real friends of the very best. Loyal we've been and true. Playing so hard at the game, 'I'he Red and White is our pride, To put it on top is our aim. The world expects us to be, The foremost in all we partake. Our duties we must fulfill. Our place in the world to make. Good friends remember the years. The days that we hold dear. Always be proud when you say. Forty-seven is our year. Melody by Richard human Harmony by Keith Miller Lyrics by Don Halt SENIOR CLASS YELL “Fame and honor we hold dear '47 is our year!” Page 21

Within a few clays, the class of '47 will never meet again as a complete group. But no matter where we go we shall never forget the debt of gratitude we owe to the sch x l and to our Senior Adviser, Miss Marietta Eighme, for our gcxxl times and achievements as a class and our present and future success as indi- viduals. Miss Eighme has worked hard and spent many hours in promoting the undertakings of the class; for all this we want to express our appreciation. The Junior-Senior Prom with its outstanding orchestra and decorations; the Junior Carnival, a great financial success; the Senior Assembly with our own play, and the writing of the class song; these arc only some of our accomplishments for which we do say Thank You. Miss Kighmc talks with her president. Edd Buckley Page 20
