President George Gruber ............... Vice President Wendy Reid .............. Secretary-Treasurer Jack Powell Boy Representative Joanne Harvey Girl Representative Mr. Moe ............................. Sponsor Santa Fe Trail Day was again the most remembered event. Joanne Harvey reigned as class queen and the sophomore square dance team won second place. The Junior year of high school with all its new responsibilities and fun came along fully in the stride of the class of 1947. Officers elected at the opening of the 1945-46 year were as follows: Bob Randolph ...................... President Mary Mae Ebert Vice President Tommy Moe ......................... Secretary Don Shannon ...................... Treasurer George Gruber ............ Boy Representative Wcndel Reid Girl Representative Coach Wild and Mrs. Guthrie ........ Sponsors As a means of raising money for the prom, hot dogs and coffee were sold at the game. The Junior play, “Every Family Has One,’’ was very successfully given on December 5, 1945. Next on the agenda was the Valentine Dance sponsored by the class. In Santa Fe Trail Day competition the Junior’s Square Dance team placed first. The Junior class relay team were tops so therefore the Junior wagon led the parade. Shirley Johnson was class queen. The event most highly anticipated by every Junior class is the Prom and this year’s class was no exception. Co-chairmen for the Prom were Dorothy Rawlings and Joe Baublits. Serving as various committee chairman were: Mary Mae Ebert, dinner; Donald Spencer and Wendel Reid, decorations; Mary Frances Logsdon, program; Betty Ann Whitmore, invitations and printing of programs; Bob Biggs and Frank Faucett, music. Theme of the Prom was the song “Deep Purple” using the first phrase, “When the deep purple falls over sleepy garden walls.” The ceiling of the gym was decorated with purple streamers. As you stepped through the vine-and-flower-bedecked trellis you saw on your left white colonial pillars with vines and purple flowers twined about them. To further represent the garden, lawn chairs were used. All four walls were fixed to look like stone walls. To the far right of the entrance was a wishing well. Beech Maury and his band provided the music. The dinner was held at the Presbyterian Parish House. Climaxing the year’s events was the picnic at Holbrook Lake.
