SENIOR CLASS HISTORY We, the present Senior of Bent County High School, started our high school career in 1941. There were 87 of us and we were the greenest of all the green freshmen that have so far entered the portals of this school. Our first year was spent under the sponsorship of Mr. Robert McKee and Miss Lillian Claar and the following officers: Dwight Dale................President Billie Knight.........Vice-President LaVerna Tillman.........Secy.-Treas. Keith Christeson............Boy Rep. Glessner Munn...........Girl Rep. Activities enjoyed by this class were a picnic and dance, both given in the spring. Our Santa Fe Trail Day queen was Qma Jean Armstrong. We entered before initiations were organized under faculty and Student Council supervision. Therefore, our initiation was very informal and a little embarrassing. There were 80 of us startihg in our Sophomore year in the fall of 1941. The class chose John Anderson for their President, Leo Lockhart for Vice-President, Mary Beth Phillips for Secretary-Treasurer, La Verna Tillmenfor Girl Representative, Robert Hutson, Boy Representative. The class sponsors were Miss Jean Lunkley and Mr. Max Mills. Helen Orwig was Santa Fe Trail Day queen. We made our grand bow our Junior year with 73 members. As Junioro we chose David Davis for President, Garnett Robertson, Vice-President, Jean Marshall, Secretary, Glessner Munn, Treasurer, Bernita Talbot, Girl Representative, and Keith Christeson, Boy Representative. The outstanding activities included a Christmas dance, the sale of Victory pins and soda pop, and also noon dancing. The class play was, One Wild Night , presented on December 4, under the direction of Mrs. Virginia Ebert. Our Junior-Senior Prom Carried out a Patriotic Theme. This year, as seniors, there were 45 of us to hold up the good old traditions of Bent County High. We chose the following persons for class officers: Claude Tucker.......President Leo Lockhart...Vice-President Bernita Talbot...Secy.-Treas. Keith Christeson.....Boy Rep.
