Jiail jbjj tf-cune In the fall of 1947 the Hi Herald voted to sponsor a Hall of Fame. This included five members of the senior class, who were judged by the high school faculty for their scholarship, personality, neatness, physical and moral development and sportsmanship. This began a tradition which is now an annual custom and which we hope will never be discontinued. The Hall of Fame for 1948 included Helen Catherine Yan-nie, John Karl Fisher, Rose Mary Baker, James R. Burgett and John C. Bridge. In 1949 the five outstanding seniors were Rosemarie Baker, Ann Marie Greene, Richard Lynch, Rosemary Mead and Evelyn Glover. The 1950 Hall of Fame honored the names of Barbara Jean Wintemberg, Dorothy Maxine Filler, Joseph Raymond Smith, Robert Franklin Carpenter and Robert Dale Baker. The class of 1951 added Caroline Stott Briggs, Eunice Jane Hall, Phyllis Jean Burger, James Dean Fisher and Charles Anthony Snyder to the Hall of Fame. Since we have considered the past, let us turn to 1952 and the five seniors who received this honor when the names of Wayne Atwell, Mary Brown, Michael Connor, Jo Ann Marsh and Carl Waters were added to the 1952 Hall of Fame. The requirements for membership were established by the senior class themselves this year. The list of qualifications for the selection made by the faculty included scholarship, co-operativeness, adaptability, friendliness, honesty, neatness, moral courage, helpfulness and leadership.
