SENIOR CLASS HISTCRY As We, the graduating class of 1947, look back on our freshman year, we are apt to feel a ting of pride and success. For when we entered this high school in the fall of 1943, we dreaded the four long years ahead. To maneuver us through the first perilous year we elected Margaret Beaver as President, Clive Davis as Vice Presidentg Jean Zink as Secretary, Mary Reding as Treasurer, Betty DeVito and Dick Godfrey as Girl and Boy Representatives. That year we held two very successful parties, under the direction of Miss Van DeWark and Mr. Carl. Our Sophomore year again was successful, due to the able leadership of our ad- visors, Miss Kennedy and Mrs. Pierce, and our oflicers, William Bush-President: Clive Davis-Vice Presidentg Elaine Thomas-Secretaryg Joan Reding-Treasurer: Betty DeVito and Jack Spencer as Representatives. This year was enlightened by two very successful dances and a class assembly in which the members showed their talents. Though our first two years were happy and successful ones, our last two were the finest and best days in our high school course. Under the guiding hand of Mrs. Sands, we doubled our treasury, had a swell time and became widely known as a progressive and inspired class. The officers for this year were Dick Godfrey-President, Harlan McElwain-Vice President, Leola Snyder-Secretary, William Bush-Treasurer, Doris Cuddeback and Tom Wilson as Representatives. Our Junior Prom was one of the few in the past that yielded a profit. Our Junior-Senior Banquet was also a splendid affair. The play, The Groom Said No, under the direction of Miss lVIcCarthy was a great success. 'At the end of the year we had a full treasury and hearts full of hope. At our first class meeting in the fall of 194-6, we elected Dick,Godfrey-Presi- dent, George LaWall-Vice President, Fran Bryan-Secretary, VVilliam Bush- Treasurerg Marge Searle and Eugene Carnevale as Representatives. Our Senior Ball and our play, So Help ble, were our main events and our sale of magazines was our biggest money-maker. At this time We would like to thank our Senior Advisor, lVIrs. Ranger, who has so skillfully guided us through our senior year. To our under classmen, we wish the best of luck in their future years, and thank them for helping to make our years in high school the best of our lives. 16
