The Seniors President ................................... Jane Love Vice President............................ Wesley Palmer Secretary ............................... Shirley Nelson Treasurer ............................. Jeanette Yelinek With a total of eighteen boys and eighteen girls the Class of ’48 lays claim to the distinction of being the largest class to graduate from Byron High School. But, of even more importance, it is the proud pos- sessor of leaders in every phase of school work, whether it is academic or extra-curricular. Athletic achievements during the past years have been many, and much of the success has been as a result of the efforts of boys who this year are among the graduates. Those who have followed the school’s sports program for the past few years will miss Bill Ashelford, who, through outstanding achievements in softball, basketball, and track, might be voted the athlete of the class. But there are other names that will not soon be forgotten. Bill Champion, a participant in soft- ball, basketball, and track, was an outstanding basketball player, a cen- ter whose services will be remembered and missed. Dick Leary, second base on the softball team and a high scoring forward in basketball-------- John Cassell, 440 yard record holder and basketball player---------Harry Stebner, hard hitting outfielder in softball, also a basketball and track man--------LeRoy Meline, Gaylen Cain, Art Molin, Wesley Palmer------------ each doing his part to make the program a success. But the class led in other fields. Helen McAffee headed the G.A.A.; Gloria Hendee, the F.H.A.; Wesley Palmer, the F.F.A. and Cam- era Club. Twenty-two of its members took part in Girls’ and Boys’ Chorus work, and five played in the Band. Nearly half the class took an active part in Speech work. Barbara Welsh, Mary Smith, Barbara Spencer and Clyde Leary were the out- standing performers before the foot-lights, but Bill Champion, Gloria Hendee, Harry Stebner, Helen McAffee, Jim Bridgeland, Jack Campbell, Jeanette Yelinek, Jane Love, Sally Garner, Art Molin, and Wesley Palmer all helped out, winning points and honor for Byron High. Yes, It’s a great class, a busy class, an active, noisy, full-of-life class -----ready to laugh, ready to work, ready to play. Whether it was a Chemistry exam, a G.A.A. Party, an F.H.A. proj- ect, or a Senior dance, the Class of ’48 was always ready and eager to take the lead. All thirty-six members will miss Byron High------------and Byron High will miss them.
