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.
