SENIOR CLASS HISTORY Thirty-seven little freshman entered dear old A.C.H.S. in September of 1947- After taking entrance tests and being properly initiated, we became full-fledged Trojans. We approach the day of commencement with twenty-one remaining in our class, having lost some and gained a few as time went on. Those leaving us the first year were Jane Duncan, Marjorie Gillette, Junior Harding, Bill Jackson, Alice Lake, Geneva Warren, Eileen Dykeman, and Retha Wilson. In the spring of ’48 we gave our first party, “The Mardi Gras”. A skit. Special Awards to Special Seniors, and an imitation of a boxing match were given. Our Ad- visors were Mrs. Martha Davis and Mrs. Ilene Lawson. The fall of our sophomore year we were minus Joan Fielder, Betty Onion, Arnold Rossell, Betty Batson, and Marjorie Deets. “Western Rancho” was the name given to our party, and it was carried out in typical cowboy fashion. Mr. Glen Boyle served as our advisor. During the year we lost Norma Schrodt and gained Floyd Singleton. When vye came back to school as juniors, Lola Singleton had left our ranks, and during the year we lost Geraldine Hillman and Paul Sailer. Being juniors we eagerly awaited the arrival of our cless rings. Two parties were given in December by our class. The second one was in the atternoon just before everyone departed for their Christinas Va- cations. “We Shook The Family Tree” was given in April under the direction of Miss- Dcrothy Davis. With the help of Miss Lily Block and Mr. William Searles our prom, “Sea Cruise”, was beautifully carried out. Everyone enjoyed moonlight dancing on the foredeck of the S.S. Trojan As senior» Barbara Freeburg Staggs has joined us. We have as our advisors. Mrs. Lee Reem and Mr. William Searles. The initiation of the freshmen was the highlight of the senior party. After much worrying and hard work our play, “Fixin Aunt Fanny”, was a success. The past two years the king for the Harvest Ball has been elected from our class. Keith Wagy received the title last year, and Dick Asquith was our king this year. Whoops! I almost forgot our girls—Darlene Black and Shirley Myers have been our candidates all four years, and Darlene was queen our sophomore year. Everyone is happily looking forward to graduation and our senior trip. We are proud of the fact that we will either be the last to graduate from thefc-ld building or the first to graduate from the new.
