Sands, 'Preasurei DO YOU REMEMBER? Fres h m an Year That first day we entered senior high — our chests puffed out — our noses high, but soon lowered by the sophisticated seniors. Our first class meeting when we elected Ronnie Heyvvood as president. Mary McQuesten as vice-president, Betty Magicra, secretary, and Tom Rice, Treasurer. The Frosh Party — we didn’t have. The huge Freshman class that dwindled by the end of the year. Sophomore Year The first meeting with our new adviser, Miss Bcnotti. The unchanged slate of class officers. Our first social, Fall Frolic. Pixie decorations. The smooth class banners with our class colors, maroon and white. The social committee’s high hopes. Skating Party Hay ride Class paper The record we broke by having two sophomore parties, the second being in March. Didn’t the curtain look pretty with all those spring flowers? Junior Year We made two changes in our class officers. Bill Harrigan, treasurer; Amy Lango, vice-president. Do you EVER remember having $178 in our treasury! The grand time everyone had at the Mardi Gras, which was a big success. May 19th — the junior prom with Dave Cornfoot as general chairman. Your date—that superb orchestra of Ray Sparrow — the fun we had painting the trellises. The last class meeting of the junior year when we all gathered to say goodby to our adviser, Miss Bcnotti, and to greet our new class adviser. Mrs. Hadley. Do you remember the fine young classmen that left for the service the end of this year. Se n i o r Ye a r Here we are at last, seniors. Our class officers—Ronnie Heywood, president; Amy Lango. vice-president; Betty Magiera, secretary and Dave Cornfoot. treasurer. How we became ten years younger at the Kid Party. Mary McQuesten was selected as the sweetest girl and Franny Ehrhardt as the cutest boy. Weren’t those sleepers of El lie’s funny? Where did Bill Hoisington get those shorts ? How our thoughts turned hopefully toward June and graduating. Getting measured by Gabby for caps and gowns. That important appointment at Bosworth’s. Friday, April 13th our class play, Sneak Date, and the “house was full.” “In ourselves our future lies.” How surprised we were to hear our prophecy at the Class Banquet. The amusement over our class gifts. The will we left to the juniors. The night we received our well-earned diploma.

When first we woke in infancy, The sun shone bright around it. We've tried to keep with vision clear The teaching of the sages, But one by one the bitter truths Have dimmed the glowing pages.

This eventful year started out with the choosing of service captains: Army, Florida Tangoed; Navy, Virginia Clarke; and Marines, Doris Govoni. In the early fall, a party was given to which all the sports members were invited. At that time they were notified as to which team they belonged. The girls have had stiff competition in all the sports, both on the service and class teams. Their reward was the well-earned letter “A.” The girls that were on the winning class team also received their numerals.
