 JU--- SENIOR CLASS HISTORY In the year of 1941 a happy and smiling group of girls and boys descended upon this ancient institution. With- out the calm and dignity that have always characterized their actions, they elected their officers, selected their class colors and their motto. The Senior Class of 1947 consists of 22 students, twelve boys and nine girls. Of this number, ten are original Riverton first graders, three from Hurricane, five from Pulaski Pike, one from Mississippi, one from Rison, one from Limrock and one from East Limestone. Our president of the Junior III class was Helen Mor- ris ; Senior I, Elna Frame; Senior II, Dan Nevels, and in our Senior year is James Blackburn. Seven of its boys have been outstanding in basketball, five of them starring on the A team, two on the B. The class has been active in all school activities, drives, programs, speaking contest, etc. One member of our class, Billie Don Hundley, died March 8th of injuries received in an automobile accident March 5th, 1947. We are especially proud of our activities as Seniors. With the proceeds from our Senior play and the profit from our annual we have purchased 21 Senior lockers, a set of Compton’s Encyclopedia and spent $250.00 re- modeling the stage. • .
