THE FORTY.'N NERS as'- The year I949 has finally come and the Forty-Niners will soon leave and find a place in life. As freshmen we were the largest class to enter S. H. S., numbering 97. Of course every- one detested being called uFreshies. High school seemed more friendly as time went on. We were getting used to the changing of classes, basketball games, football games and dances. Everyone enjoyed high school, but most still sighed over the big assignments. Bruce Bartlett was our president. Fall came again and we were sopho- mores and no longer called 'GCreenies . This year we gave our first dramatic production, Quiet Please? Thisayear the officers were: Nancy White, president, Larry Hallett, vice president, Sally Pilliod, secretary, and Joy Raker, treasurer. On the eve of October 31, ,we sponsored the Halloween dance, uThe Witches Broomstickf' It was a great success. September, 1947, we were juniors. This year was a busy year. We sold candy and potato chips at noon and at games. We proud- ly displayed and exchanged our class rings. The play we presented this year was Ghost Housef, Everyone enjoyed decorating the gym for the Junior-Senior Banquet. The theme was uThe Maypole Frolicf' Now we are seniors.
