The Seniors President .... Vice-President Secretary ... Treasurer .... Advisor ...... Jerry Piper Franny Hogan Pat Kanode Chuck McNames Mr. Sunderman The President Rests On May 27, when certificates of graduation were handed out, twenty-six seniors, the “Forty-Niners”, stepped forward. Another school year was over and a new chap- ter had been added to the history of the Byron Schools. Students, faculty, and friends of Byron High will long remember some of the activities of this group of seniors. In the class room, on the athletic field, behind the footlights—working on clothing proj- ects, playing the bass drum, judging beef cattle—at all times they were busy, preparing for the moment when they would leave the shelter of their alma mater to take their place in a work-a-day world. Not an activity in the school functioned without much of the leadership coming from the Class of “49”. Realizing the importance of their role as upperclassmen, they cooperated with the underclassmen and helped them get started in fields that captured their interest. So it’s Hail to the Class of 49! Congratulation on work well done. May you al- ways be deserving and may the future years be kind!” Pitcher Cain . ‘Iliose Websters” Morrison. Bontjes Catcher Palmer Remember? Burkitt SEVEN
