SENIOR HISTORY t On September 3, 1945, thirty nervous students climbed the front steps of Carter i.ounty High School to register us freshmen. Most of us be- lieved high school would be easier than guide school, but we soon found that we were expected to study here also. Mrs. Jessica Hunt took the job of piloting us through the year as class sponsor. Clarence Rowley uhis elected president with Mikie Gross vice-president and Jill Cooper secretary-treas- urer. One of the first activities of the year was a thing called initiation. The boys were required to come to school dressed as girls and vice versa. Everyone enjoyed this day, even ure who were the subjects of interest. When Homecoming time came we elected Jill Cooper as our candidate and she finished a close second in the election. We as freshmen tried to be in on everything in school—football, basketball, chorus, Honor Roll, and scholastic letters, were a few of our honors. Early September, 194-6, saw us back in school as learned sophomores (We thought) with our number reduced to 28. With newly elected Presi- dent Bruce Teigen, Vice President Hazel Sum- mers, and Secretary-Treasurer Clarence Rowley we found ourselves under the sponsorship of Mr. Ren hard Neimi. Our first social event of thrt season was the initiation of the freshmen. We enjoyed this much more than the year before because at last we were on the other end of the deal. We elected Phyllis Yates as our Home- coming Queen candidate, but Shirley I reigned Homecoming night. Finally came the year when we were upperclassmen—Juniors to be exact. Along with this new title we acquired a new sponsor, Mr. Marshall Lambert. As class officers we elected Earl G and Inch president; Francis Freese, vice-president, and David Mrnak as sec- rear y treasurer. Later Earl uhis classified a senior and his presidential duties were taken over by the vice-president, Francis Freese. Our class rings Were ordered and received from Jostens. As Home-coming queen candidate the class chose Selma Taylor. Mr. Dallas V. Ludlow directed the play, “Galloping Ghosts,” which uhis performed De- cember 13, and uhis a great success. The Junior Prom, a formal dance held April 23 in honor of the seniors, uhis the highlight of activities spon- sored by the class for the year. Early in September of 1948, we enrolled as honored seniors. This year our studies were much more diversified; therefore, the class seemed much smaller. Two of our members, John Brown and Bob Huffman, dropped out during the first semester, leaving only 25 in the class. We elected Hazel Summers, president; Ronald Purdum, vice-president, and Bruce Teigen, secretary-treasurer to fill the adminis- trative offices of the class. The class play, “The Sunshine Twins” was scheduled for April 9 as our first activity of the year. Relieved of the responsibilities of sponsoring the Prom this year we were the honored guests of the junior class. We were kept busy the latter part of the year planning for Sneak day. Senior Breakfast, (Hass Sight, Baccalaureate, and Commencement. The Commencement activities were the highlight as well as the end of all our four years in Good Old Carter High.
