Jo Ann Miller .lo Ella Parton Ronald .Ieha Bob Lusk M X The senior class ot i950 began its last year in high school with titty-six studentsg twenty-eight boys and twenty-eight girls. During the first two weeks of school the seniors chose their senior sweaters and emblems. The senior sweater was the usual royal blue coat sweater and the emblem designed by Durwood Steele was a panther head on the numerals SO with B. l-l. S. printed on top ot the panther head, all ot which was in blue and gold. ln February the class president met with a committee, Jill Reeves, Helen Ha- mann and Ronnie Jeha, to choose appro- priate class announcements. The senior class approved their choice, and ordered announcements and cards which arrived later in the spring. The first class activity of the seniors was to present the Spring Frolic on March 3rd. Since the dance was very well planned and well advertised it was a suc- cess, and the money raised went to the Senior Class treasury tor later use.

Early in January the seniors began to choose their senior play. After much dis- cussion they chose Strictly Formal, a three act comedy, Try-outs were held for a week and the following students were selected: Garland Benton, Eleanor Sargent, Doylene Price, Nina Lou Smith, Jo Ella Parton, Jill Reeves, Joyce Weaver, Velda Cathey, Carol Wilson, Sue Moore, Ronnie Jeha, Wesley Owens, Fred Benton, Durwood Steele, Jack Reeves, and Carl Redden. Lillian Jarosz and Jo Ann Miller assisted Miss Alice Crooks as prompters, and Norman Silva was stage manager. After six weeks of rehearsals five nights a week, the play was very cleverly presented on Friday, March Bl, before a full house. The funds raised by this activity, added to the money in the treasury, was used by the Senior Class on their Ditch Day, May 3, and for the Senior Banquet which took-place May 5. Under the direction of Miss Alice Crooks, five senior boys, Fred Benton, .lack R'eeves, Jim Gregory, Wesley Owens, and Gary Dunn, presented a program in Bonor of LincoIn's Birthday. Also, seven senior girls presented a program in honor of Washington's Birthday. The participants were Jo Ella Parton, Eleanor Sargent, Jill Reeves, Velda Cathey, Jo Ann Miller, Nina Lou Smith, and Wanda Kilby. This senior class, being very active in school life, had many outstanding stu- dents. Jim Gregory, a member of the Class of '50, was elected Student Body President for both spring and fall terms.
