SENIORITIES Miss Robertson Mr. Baker Miss Elliott Mr. Evans Mr. Reid One reason why the class of 1947 has been an outstanding one is their good luck in the way of faculty sponsors. These teachers have been wholeheartedly eager to assist in class activities and have given generously of their time to assembly programs, the junior play and class party. This year they pitched in with the concessions crew, senior play and class day committees and accomplished great things. Aggressive class officers is another reason why the seniors rate the prominence they enjoy. Their president was Garvin Filbert, their vice president, jim Young, and the class secretary, Shirley McDowell. A third reason for their enviable position is the concessions crew that did the work of financing the class project, the annual. Harry Parker as manager was always on the 'ob. He had a corps of willing aides who carried on at all the football and home b sket a Av games whatever the weather and really brought in the money.
