THE TUSAYAN SENIOR CLASS HISTORY In September of 1942, our class of thirty-one .frightened freshmen registered in Williams High School. We were duly initiated by the sophomores and in return for the initiation dance which they gave us we treated them to a Hallowe'en dance. At our first class meeting we elected David McNelly, president, Picho Torrez, vice-presidentg and Hortensia Gutierrez, secretary-treasurer. The only thing marring our first year in high school was the death of two of our classmates: June Keys, who died September 29, and Victoria Corona, who died March 14. Tlhe first thing we did when we finally became sophomores was to hold an election of class officers. Ivan Wilson was elected presidentg Kathryn Dye, vice-presidentg and Pat Mowrey, secretary-treasurer. This year we had the opportunity of initiating the freshmen. Raymond White, Bob Blanton, Billie Joe Gulledge, Wanda Welker, and Ann Johnson entered our class from other schools. Don Gaddis, David McNelly, Ivan Wilson, Tachie Navarro, and Alvino Figueroa repre- sented the sopihomore class on both the football and basketball teams. Bonnie Williamson was a cheer-leader and several other girls were members of the Drumiand Bugle Corps. Ann Johnson, Donna McLeese, and Pat Mowrey were on the Viking Staff. In '44 we were upper classmen. One new member, Dolores Col- lins, entered from Washington, D. C. Class officers elected for the year were David McNelly, president, Ann Johnson, vice-presidentg and Billie Joe Gulledge, secretary-treasurer. At our next class meeting we proudly ordered class rings. On February 9, ten juniors presented the junior class play, Enter the Hero, which was a great success. Two of our classmates, Piclho Torrez and Gustavo Vargas, were inducted into the Army. The class rings finally' arrived on April 9. The juniors participated in many school activities this year. David McNelly was selected as a guard on the All-Northern second string in basketball. Bob Blanton, Picho Torrez, David McNelly, Don Gaddis, and Ivan Wilson were lettermen. Ann Johnson and Alvino Figueroa were members of the Art Club.
