For the second year the class chose caps and gowns as gradua- tion dress, this time wearing royal blue ones with gold trim. It was the first time in years that a Stadium graduating group received its diplomas in May, the commencement exercises being held May 28. One advantage of the smaller class was that it enabled the seniors again to have their group picture hung in the hall. This had not been practical in the last few years. Because of rationing and shortages a banquet was not held this year. A get together of the whole class was made possible, however, by means of the baccalaureate service set for May 27. Leading the Senior Class until his departure for the navy was capable lim Clinton as president. Torn Galbraith, vice president, then assumed the duties of the presidency. Doro- thy Christoffersen then moved up from secretary to vice president and Dolores Klaiber was chosen to serve as secretary. Alice Bergstrom remained in her position as treasurer. Repre- sentatives to Student Council were Ann Wegener and Miles Custis. As juniors the class elected Iohn Schlarb, president, Bruce Stewart, vice president, Shirley Halladay, secretary, Cliff Hoff, treasurer, Doreen Wilcox, girls' representative, Miles Custis, boys' representative. ln their first year the class was directed by Sandy Shaub, president, Marion Long, vice president, lane Parker, secretary, Margaret Armstrong, treasurer, Nancy Hart and Bruce Stewart, Student Council representatives. in ' T With the real atmosphere of a beach resort, the senior sweater dance was held April 20 with the clever theme of Coney Island.
