senior Class Historii 1947 Illinois wins Hose Howl—England celebrates wedding of Princess Elizabeth —Nazi war criminals tried. It was in this eventful year that we became the twenty-sixth freshman class to enter Dement High.

Jerry Tompkins was elected president; Nancy Postlewait; vice-president ; and Helen McCabe, secretary. 1948 Berlin airlift in full operation . . . Mohandas Gandhi assassinated . . . Truman reelected. In September of this year, twenty-seven sophomores returned from summer vacation to resume their activities and duties at Dement High. We chose Hob Hodam as president; George Cavanaugh, vice-president; and Lenore Royal, secretary-treasurer. Our class advisors for this year were Mrs. Hammond and Mr. Hodam. 1949 Television continues to grow . . . Jet planes average .' . 0 m. p. h. . . . Stalin celebrates sixty-ninth birthday. The first thing we did as upper classmen this year was to elect Tom Gallivan, president; Nance Postlewait, vice-president; and Doris Helm, secret a rv-treasurer. During the first semester, we tried our hand at drama and presented two class plays which were both quite successful. With the help of Mrs. Hammond, Mr. Hodam, Miss Council, Mr. Everson, we entertained the seniors at the gala “Mardi Gras.'’ This prom brought a climactic end to our junior year. 1950 Dement passes school bond issue . . . Attempted assassination of President Truman . . . Cnited Nations enters Korean War. SENIORS AT LAST!!!! We will always remember 1950 as the year we became full fledged upperclassmen. As leaders for this busy year we chose Joe Stoerger sis president; Lenore Royal, vice-president; and Doris Helm, secretary-treasurer. Our advisors were Miss Houston and Mr. Taylor. After vigorous and colorful campaigning, Nance Postlewait was elected Homecoming Queen. At Halloween, we all donned our masks and entertained the juniors at a masquerade party. Everyone enjoyed himself immensely. The junior-senior “Night Club prom wound up our four years of high school social life. On May 17, the senior class presented the mystery-comedy, It's All In Your Head.” The Baccalaureate Services were held on Sunday, May 20. Commencement night on May 24 with Joseph Hobbs, county superintendent of Mason County, as the main speaker, brought an end to the activities of our four enjoyable years which we will never forget.
