Seniors WE, THE SENIOR CLASS of 1947, leave behind us a school—a school of friendships and fond memories. We have passed through four years of studies, pleasures, and Christian fellowship together. Our Freshman class started with an enrollment of ninety-three members. The second semester said farewell to many of our fellow classmates who left for the service of their country. It was during this year that one of our favorite professors, Si Mclby, passed away. The month of June found us becoming restless from the studies and activities of the year and anxiously awaiting a summer vacation. We returned, our sophomore year, eager to begin again a year of new ex- periences. This year a male on the campus was quite rare and the enrollment of our class had fallen considerably. Initiation for the freshmen was our sole concern as we set out, now a group of experienced colleagues. The second semester brought us the sad news of the death of Duane Peterson, a fellow classmate, who was killed in war in Germany. 1945-46 became an eventful year for our class. The war had ended and the veterans were returning. Our class increased rapidly in size and a new en- thusiasm began to spread. New clubs were formed, sports began to hold more interest and even studies were attacked with a new spirit of rivalry. A big banquet was given in honor of the Senior Class, with a Scottish theme as a background. We have now reached our senior year. It is the year when we must take time to look back over four years of learning, and realize that our education here has been completed. Perhaps we do not feel so dignified and learned, but we feel we have gained many lifelong friendships and have added to our role of experiences. The class of 1947 must continue on. Our duties and obligations have not terminated here, for our task has not yet been completed . . . We must press on to that mark that is set before us. . . .” OF THE HIGH CALLING OF GOD IN CHRIST JESUS
