GVQDUQZZ Graduation time has arrived. The time has come for the seniors to say farewell to three happy years of fellowship. The time for part- ing can never break the bonds of comradeship, welded during these years by the memory of the shared joys and sorrows of school days. In 544, we came over to Ball High as frightened fish from the junior high schools. We were greeted by the new Ball High princi- pal, Mr. Hill. VVe were uncertain about what to do and where to go under the watchful eyes of juniors and seniors. After a few weeks of hard studying, we gained a degree of confidence. In the same year, the Student Congress was organized. This was a great stride forward in our school development. In '45, we attained the title of juniors, next to the top. We were getting braver and having more fun. Football, basketball, track, dances, and other activities began to attract our attention and to be enjoyed more than our studies. Seniors! What a nice word. We attained this title in '46, after two years of long and hard studying. During our senior year, we lost our superintendent, Mr. Graham, and our principal, Mr. Hill, assumed the duties of that position. Taking over the principal's duties was our able vice-principal, Mr. McFarland. The senior year has no doubt been the best of our three years in Ball High. Our happy, carefree days of high school are over, and we must now go on into the future. Some members of the class will con- tinue their studies in colleges, while others will enter the business world. We will never forget the cooperation, interest, and guidance given to us by our principals, dean, and teachers. We, the graduating class of '47, bid farewell to a pleasant past and look forward to a bright, prosperous future. Joe Willhelm, President, Class of '47 - Seniors You can always tell a junior You can always tell a freshman By the way he swells his chest, By his loud ways and suchg You can always tell a sophomore You can always tell a senior- Because hels so well dressed. But you canit tell him much. -Georgia Lynn Eaves 41
