ALEX IAFFURS Captain of Football Team IAMES FRITZ Student Leader of Band PAUL LONG Editor of Hi Ways WESLEY SIEBERT President of Senior Class The members of this class of 1948 extend sincere congratulations to their leaders whom they have chosen by popular vote. When most students were rushing for the street car, drinking cokes at the corner drug store, en- joying the latest movie, or even doing their homework, these eight persons were planning and working for the interests of the group. Anne Elliott spent months preparing the long awaited book of memoriesg Alex Iaffurs. cap- tain of the football team and a star player on the basketball five, carried out strategy and plays which kept spectators breathless. Aside from his many activities, Alex won a place on the highest honor roll. To do his part, Ralph Neilander as guard on the football team kept the opponents from breaking through the line. I-le was vice president of the senior class and represented it on Student Council. Iames Fritz helped spend the money of the Activity Board by voting for those colorful robes of the A Cappella choir. He was also the student lead- er of band. No one has been busier than Car- rol Chapman, who as president of Student Council planned meetings, supervised club elections, ,and worked on the new student manual. Also he sang in the choir, assisted the chapel program committee, and entertained on the football field and in chapel with his skill as drum major. Issuing Hi Ways assign- ments, editing copy, and meeting a deadline kept Paul Long out of mischief. Arthur Betts, the captain of the basketball team, led his mates to a victorious Section Vlll Champion- ship. Wesley Siebert, the president of the senior class, had work to do and he did it well. Conducting meetings where several controversial questions were discussed, he tactfully made suggestions but seldom allow- ed his personal opinion to be overbearing. To appoint committees to plan the most import- ant event so far in the lives of most seniors and to follow the plans to the end. commence- ment, required much time, thought, and judg- ment, Regardless of the ultimate goal, these leaders executed their responsibilities with a modest dignity and a spirit of determination. Because they have given more in the way of scholarship, leadership, sportmanship, and personality, the remaining seniors are proud to honor them. May they be as successful in the world of tomorrow as they have been in their school career.
