The Seniors Thirteen boys and eleven girls make up the Senior class of 1947. Led by their president, Jim Hendee, who holds the rare distinction of having served as class president for four successive years, they present a group whose interests are diversified and whose talents will not soon be for- gotten. Statistics may show that the smallest member of the class, Caroline Reinders, stands one full foot below the towering height of six feet three Robert Boehm, but the wide range of interests can not be measured in value by such a common measuring stick. Each member of the class in his chosen field has been a leader. Athletics claimed such stalwarts as Parks, Lameyer, Dewar, Hendee, and Morrison; the F.F.A. has such bulwarks as Boehm, Lewis and Hagemann; music has been more pleasing through the efforts of Colleen Cain and Lee Campbell carrying the vocal with Donita Campbell at the piano. The band will miss the efforts of Jennine Feather- ston, Evelyn Rieken, Virginia Coffman, Jim Hendee, Forest Dewar, and Joe Parks. Jennine Featherston, Donita Campbell, Colleen Cain, Pauline Oltmanns, Caroline Reinders, Dorothy Sherwood, and Virginia Coffman will be missed when next year’s newspaper is printed. This year’s Senior play was made a success by such leading characters as the frustrated Parks, the motherly Rieken, the juvenile Hendee, the lovesick Coffman, the fatherly Dewar, the lovely sisters, Donita Campbell and Jenn'ne Featherston. The debate platform will seem bare without Andy Jackson and Jean Hedges. And what will F.H.A. be without Null, Cain, Reinders, Rieken, Hedges, Beuth and Sherwood? Our cheerleaders too, Donita and Jennine, leave naught but their echoes behind. Whether it be Goethe or Morrison, Coffman or Oltmanns, Riley or Snyder — these things we will remember — the determination of Chuck Snyder, our veteran graduate — the basketball quartet of Parks, Dewar, Lameyer, and Hendee — the excellent portrayal of the irate professor by Lee Campbell —“The Treasurer’s Report’’ by Les Lameyer — the fellow who studied so hard, Andy Jackson — these and many other things as we pass out the door — into the world — to better and greater things.
