JUNIOR HISTORY OUR Junior High School days were gay and filled with the anticipation of entering high school. As the first seventh grade class to participate in Moving Up Day ceremonies, we felt extremely proud and very intelligent. When we moved on to the eighth grade, we really began to feel apprehension at the thought of entering our high school career. As the class of '48, we breezed'' into high school as typical green freshmen and with the reputation of being king of all silly and carefree freshmen. The brightest event of our introductory year was our semi-formal St. Pat's dance. This was a big success and inspired us to attempt bigger and better things To lead us through this merry year we elected Gale Morrison. President; Bob Cos-saboon, Vice-President; Jane Sawyer, Secretary, and Freddie Dunshie, Treasurer. For class advisor we chose Mrs. Cedric Tiebout, the former Miss Mary Kay Dougherty. Our Sophomore year found us somewhat accustomed to the routine of high school, but none the less eager to meet the challenge. We carried on the tradition of St. Pat by sponsoring an informal St. Pat's dance. This was not so much a financial success as it was a social event. To guide us this year we elected Bernard Tower, President; Bob Cossaboon, Vice-President; Dolores Ingalls, Secretary, and Barbara Eberl, Treasurer. Mrs. Rice was elected class advisor. With the arrival of our Junior year, raising money seemed to be the prime issue. The St. Pat tradition was abolished in favor of money-making projects. On October 25, we sponsored a round and square dance which was well attended. To augment our treasury in preparation for such events as the Junior-Senior Prom, Gusher , and Junior-Senior banquet, we held a skating party which was very successful. Officers for this year include Norma Lewis, President; Ted Crandall, Vice-President; Jerry Hun-gerford, Secretary, and Wesley Stimson, Treasurer. Mrs. Rice was unanimously re-elected class advisor. To her with a deep feeling of gratitude and acknowledgement, we wish to take this opportunity to say, Thanks for two years of rendering good advice and having such patience. With eagerness to be on our way and to make our place in the world, but yet with some nostalgic regret, we face our Senior year with the hope that it will be as rich and full as the preceding three years have been.
