Class History On a bright sunny day, five years ago, in the great school, Tombstone Union High School, thirty-nine eighth graders entered the great halls of learn- ing. A great knocking of knees and an even greater clattering of teeth was heard by the mighty upperclassmen, as the eighth graders made their way up the stairs to their class room. They were a shy bunch that year, but quite active and helpful under the direction of Mr. Webb. In the year of 1947, twenty-four green Freshmen trudged up the moun- tain and traditionally painted the T under gentle persuasion of the Seniors. After recupex-ating from initiation, the Freshies under the direction of Mr. Daniels, elected their officers: They were as follows: Jack Patty, Presi- dent: Barbara Costello, Vice-President: Marie Kern, Secretary and Treasurer. The year's activities were a party held at school and a picnic which took place at Lewis Springs. In the year of 1948, the Sophomore Class, numbered at eighteen, under direction of Miss Aurora Moralis, held its first meeting and elected their offi- cers for the term which were: Betty Stevenson, Presidentp Pete Castro, Vice- President: Barbara Costello, Secretary, Marie Kern, Reporter. That Christmas the Sophomores made up a basket of food which they gave to a needy family of Tombstone. Their first semester picnic was at Fairbank on October ZZ. Their sec- ond semester activity was a party held in school. They also gave a skit in March. They were now getting up in this world. Cautiously they approached the time of year when report cards would come and answer their sixty-four dollar question. Were they or weren't they Juniors ? They were! In the year of 1949, the Juniors, thirteen of them, again under direction of Miss Moralis, started their third year of'high school with anticipation. A long year was ahead of them for they had to give the Junior-Senior Banquet and also participate in the Junior-Senior Play, Happy Birthday , which was a great success. Now as they come to the end of their long journey, we find the Senior Class composed of Betty Stevenson, Sam Arnold, Joe McGee, Barbara Costello, Betty Jean Hitt, Marie Kern, Frank Ramirez, Virginia Gradillas, Delia Contrearas, Elisa Castaneda, Nellie Gauen, Robert Tidwell, Ernest Escarcega, Pete Castro, Johnny Bigando, and Clinton Benson under patient and happy dir- ection of Miss Moralis, going out into the world to find their pot of gold at the end of their rainbow .................... l3
