We have also taken an interest in civic projects such as the clothing drive, bond drives, and health drives. We can not say much about the year we were sophomores. We were getting a real taste of high school life. Our class sponsors that year were Miss Willie Finger, Miss Verna Browning and Miss Bes- sie Mae Key. Alfred Froberg was class president. Duringjour junior year, Miss Mary Ray Wood and Miss Phyllis Phillips were our class sponsors. The whole Junior Class considered themselves lucky to have two such wonderful sponsors. They sat for hours in the Recreation Hall selling cold drinks so that the class could have a super-duper junior-senior banquet. We must not forget to men- tion our junior play, One Mad Night, and the box supper. In sports the juniors won the junior-senior football game, the junior-senior basketball games, and the annual Hag fight. 24 The first important event of our senior year took place on Stunt Nite, when the class placed first with a take-off on the Hallowe'en Coronation called, Thr Rrvired Version of Browning and Finger. Another memorable occasion was the Valentine costume party given for the seniors in the Recrea- tion Hall by Mrs. Otto Paris. Again this year our class was blessed with two great sponsors, Miss Verna Browning and Miss Willie Finger. Through their Work, much has been done this year. Here are some statistics concerning our class. There are sixty members in the class at present, seven having withdrawn since this school year began. Five of the annual favorites were from the senior class, nine of the football lettermen were seniors, and three of the yell leaders are seniors. The football sweetheart has been chosen from our class for the past three years, and the queen for the past two. Many activities have been planned for the sen- iors for the remainder of the year, including an outdoor party, a barbecue and the annual Kid Day. Graduation takes place on May 23.

Umnus CLASS UFFIEEH5 JACK Inoux NORMAN PETERSON Prendent Vice-Prerident SHIRLEY SMITH ESTHER WILLIAMS- Seeretary Trearurn HISTIIHY UF THE EL SS UF '47 By Norman Peterson ln the ninth grade, the Junior Class made the most successful venture of its history up to that time. That was the minstrel which was given to raise money for the banquet we gave. Our banquet in Hawaiian theme is still remembered as one of the loveliest that has been held in this school. The class officers at that time were these: Bob Alexander, president, Mary Edith Sheafier, vice president, and Shirley Smith, secretary. At the end of the year came graduation from junior high school. What an important time that was to us! During the summer we were worrying about next year's initiation. When next year came, we got it, although there was a regulation against it. Now we were in high school, but we seemed to have lost our spirit temporarily. We did not even elect offi- cers. Parties, which we had had almost every week in 1945, were a thing of the past. Although we helped put over various drives, we originated none of them. This year we were rather provoked at the strict prohibition against initiating the sophomores, for 25 we had certainly had our share. The Junior Class now is excelling in many ways. We are the largest class in high school. Our candidate for queen of the carnival, Shirley Smith, almost won the crown. The junior representatives on the Student Council, Bob Alexander, Jack Idoux, and Norman Peter- son, hold the oflices of president, vice president, and historian, respectively. Through the persist- ence of the junior representatives, we received pins this year in the Student Council. The junior home rooms, led by the sponsors, Mrs. Fincher, Miss Ard, and Miss Wood, won recognition in the year- book sbuscription campaign, Miss Ard's room winning the prize. The junior play, given by the class to raise funds for the banquet, was The Whole Town'.r Talking. It was directed by Miss Edna Shaw. The play was produced within three weeks after its first re- hearsal. The junior-senior banquet, followed by the prom given by the seniors, closed our year of activities. We have many pleasant memories of school behind us, but now we look ahead to our senior year, which we hope will be the best.
