SENIOR HISTORY As the years roll by so do the classes at A. H. S. In the fall of nin« t« -n- hundred forty-five a group of twenty-five frightened Freshmen entered the halls ol Argenta High School. Our officers for that year were: Charles Elliott. Presi- dent; Eldon McConkey. Vice-President; Joyce Craft. Secretary-Treasurer. Robert Skelton and Joanne Dunkel were our Argenois reporters, while Darlene Malone and Joanne Dunkel did a fine job as the yearbook reporters. Four of our members were in chorus and two in band. Randall Roberts and Eldon McConkey were on both the baseball and basketball teams. Eleven of our girls were in F. H. A. while nine boys were in F. F. A. Darlene Cooke and Darlene Malone represented us as homecoming queen attendants. The following fall our enrollment was twenty-four, although we had lost several of our original classmates during the year. Our officers this second year were: Joyce Craft. President; Darlene Malone, Vice-President; Harriet Catlin, Secretary-Treasurer. Harriet Catlin and Darlene Malone served as Argenois reporters. Harriet Catlin was also our Pilot reporter. We had eight girls in chorus and three in band. Nearly all girls were members of F. H. A. and the boys of F. F. A. Eldon McConkey. Randall Roberts and Charles Elliott were our outstanding athletes. The Sophomore homecoming queen attendants were Darlene Malone and Harriet Catlin. When we enrolled the third year at A. H. S. we had only eighteen members • and were careful in selecting our officers because we knew our Junior year would be a strenuous one. Eldon McConkey was our President; Randall Roberts, Vice- President; Charles Elliott, Secretary-Treasurer. However. Charles resigned at mid-year and Frances Reeves was appointed to complete the term of office. Harriet Catlin was our Argenois reporter and Joyce Craft our Pilot reporter. Randall Roberts and Eldon McConkey were our baseball members while Randall, Eldon and Charles Elliott were on the basketball team. There were Juniors in F. H. A., F. F. A., band and chorus. We were proud of Darlene Cooke and Joyce Craft, who were our queen attendants at the homecoming festivities. Our class play, Second Story Peggy, was presented on March 25, 1948, with Frances Reeves, Joanne founkel, Charles Boyce, Joyce Craft, Eldon McConkey, Darlene Malone, Robert Skelton, and Clarence Banning, who proved to be suc- cessful actors and actresses. On May 21, under the sponsorship of Mr. Rocke and Miss Jacobson, we honored the Seniors with a dinner-dance held at the Scovill Club. Ralph Yancey's Orchestra provided the music for this occasion. Finally the “rough Senior year rolled around, and again there were eighteen members in the class. For our last officers were elected Robert Higgins. Presi- dent; Orville Frye, Vice-President; and Audrey Stephens, Secretary-Treasurer. On October 22, 1948, the Seniors presented the play, Star Crazy, with Darlene Malone, Joanne Dunkel, Ellen Umbarger, Frances Reeves, Audrey Stephens, Robert Skelton, Charles Boyce, Orville Frye, and Clarence Banning. 13
