Class History Tn the fall of 1946, four timid looking Freshmen entered the doors of the Buffalo High. They were Ramon Sammons, Jim Swiney, Pat Swiney and Colin Dover. The Sophomores were more than willing to initiate us. Ramon Sammons was attired in a woman’s dress with a box and a woman’s shoe on his feet. Pat Swiney wore a very short skirt, a diaper, a large shoe, and carried a doll and a baby bottle. Jim Swiney appeared in a hula hula skirt with all the trimm- ings. Colin Dover arrived in his night gown and with a box and out-sized shoe on his feet. He also carried a dool and looked very silly. We had to carry upper classmen’s books and bow to ever upper classman because there were about twice as many Sophomores as Freshmen. That night they gave us a party and made us do many tricks. In the spring, the Freshman Class put on a one-act comedy, “Getting Rid of Father.” During the Sophomore year, Jim Swiney dropped and Jackie Brilliant joined us, only to remain half a year then left us and was married. As the Junior year rolled around, we formed quite a different member- ship. Ramon Sammons and Pat Swiney changed to the Hobson school. The three Juniors were: Jim Kjersen and Lamer Mae Watson, and Colin Dover. Larner Mae stayed only the first half of the year and was married. During the Senior year, there was only one, Colin Dover. Bacca la u rea te Baccalaureate Services were held in the Buffalo Methodist Church on May 14. Reverend McKnight gave an inspiring sermon. Commencement Commencement Exercises were held in the hall, May 17. Music was furnished by the school. Colin Dover was the high school graduate.

Mr. Ell, Superintendent, introduced the classes and the iiplomas were presented by Mr, Kenneth Corey, Chairman of the 1949-195 0 .'3oard of Education. 8
