mejor lam We are the class of '48. We thought our oflicers of last year were very efficient, so the results of our election were the same as that of last year: President, Craig Kingsbury: Vice-President, Fred Wilkins: Secretary, Margaret Ringwall: Treasurer, Norma Link. We also liked our advisor so well that we selected Miss Sowalsky again this year. Our first dance, the Gridiron Hop. held in November, was a great success. Choosing our class rings was one of the big events of our lives. After many delays they arrived in February. We held a Christmas party with the Seniors in December. One of the best things a class could do was done by the Junior and Senior Classes this year: we sponsored a drive by which the school adopted a little French girl, Therese Francois, for a period of ten months. Widow by Proxy was selected as our Junior Play, but by far, our Junior Prom will be the biggest event of the year. Members of the Junior Class are as follows: Row one: Betty Holser, Irene Teal.
