The CHARHIAN SPECIAL FEATURES Little Red Riding Hood’s New Adventure Once upon a time Little Red Rid- in Hood (Shirley Gordon) was skipping; down the path through the woods toward her grandmother’s house (Mary Joan Krusell), just a» she has been doing for hundreds of years, when all of a sudden she got an idea. She was tired of being • based by the same old wolf (Mick- ey Ells i down through the centuries and then being rescued by the same old woodsman (Art Hlaine). She thought that maybe she was getting in a rut, so she started off down another path in the opposite di- rection from her grandmother’s. She walked happily along for quite awhile. Nothing happened and she began to grow discouraged, when suddenly she heard music. She hurried down the path toward the sound and presently she found herself in a large clearing. In the middle of the clearing was a large building with a sign on the front suying Joe’s Place” from which the music was coming. Little Red Riding Hood (Shirley) waited at the edge of the clearing for awhile and watched people go in and out. She saw some she knew. There was Popeye (Bruce Bryan i and Olive Oil (Mary Mead) and the three little pigs (D. Der- by I. (Don Johansen), and (Hans l angmaack), and even Goldilocks i Mabel Robins) went in. They were all laughing and having fun. Finally she decided to venture out from behind the tree. She timidly walked up to the door and was about to go in. when the woodsman who must have been dizzy came stumbling out. He almost fell on her. He apologized in a rather crude manner and went away. She opened the door slightly again, and this time she squeezed in. The room was full of people; some were sitting at tables; others danc- ing. They w ere all having a good time and making lots of noise. She wondered what sort of place she was in; and then she remember- ed the words of her mother, telling her not to go near such places where people danced and drank. So she turned to hurry out. and. as she did so. who would she see but Grandma (Mary Jean) and the wolf (Mickey Ells). She was surprised to say the least, but anyw ay, now she knew where to go to take grandma her cookies without so much trouble.

President’s Message The 1947 senior class can look back on four successful years with each one a milestone in the build- ing of our characters. During these four years we have achieved many goals which were set before us. Such goals as the Christmas card sales, jamboree, dances and the journalism carnival are all excel- lent examples of whole-hearted willingness and co-operation of the splendid group of which 1 have had the honor of being president. In our four years in high school we have attained much knowledge from our classrooms, associations in clubs and other varied sources, out this is but a foundation upon which to build further knowledge. The future of the world depends upon young men and women who will strive forward to seek further knowledge to place upon the foun- dation which they built in high school. As our foundation period draws to a close and we peer into our post-graduation period, we may ask ourselves if we shall be a success. None of us will be a success unless we have breadth of vision which Is all important in the building of anyone's life. In conclusion. I should like to thank the advisers. Miss Holmes. Miss Del Favero. Mr. Blight and Mr. Johnson, who have assisted the class to a great extent. Robert D. Casler. Senior President.

Review of The Best Years of Our Lives We’re the class of ’47. We began high school here in 1943. We look- ed up at the big. intelligent, digni- fied seniors, who towered over us in the halls, hoping that some day in the future we might be like them. As freshmen we began a whole new life, going to school dances, going to assemblies and even putting on one ourselves. We went to the games and to parties. Of course we had new. harder studies to tackle. We found out what sort of feeling you get when ou begin an exam. As sophomores w e had a little surer footing; we were used to high school life and could hold our own quite well. We were begin- ning to take our place as an im- portant part of the sports life. We sponsored some dances and added a few dollars to our treasury and began to feel quite important. We even had our echoed picnic at Pine Lake in spite of the weather’s be- ing exceptionally cold for June. The next year we were juniors and that was practically as good as being seniors. We felt we did quite a bit tow’ard keeping the school go- ing. Our magazines sales went very well, more magazines being sold than ever before. Our junior play, New Fires.” was successful. Now w e are seniors and this year has been the best of them all. even though we know that those seniors weren't half so big, dignified, or in- telligent as we thought back in the ninth grade. We sold Christmas cards to make money for our trip. We all worked hard on the journal- ism carnival to make it the success it was. We contributed a lot to- ward the success of many sports. To sum it all up. we’ve had a won- derful time in Charlotte high school and now we’re being graduated. We’re not sorry we’re leaving, even though w e’ll miss the fun and the studying too. because we're looking ahead to a bright future, which we have been in preparation for these past few years. Those years we can truly say have been, “The Best Years of Our Lives. First Impressions Bob Casler—I thought I'd never get to be a senior. Douglas Mulholland—I thought I'd never be as dignified as the seniors were. Dick Huffman—I thought the seniors were awfully big. (tall) but now that I am one myself I find that they aren’t. Don Johansen—Wanted to be out- standing in sports as Wayne Ter- williger and Mike Mathews were, and be as intelligent as Harold Cherry. Bob Bandfield—I felt all alone in the world and the school seemed as big as a castle. Irene Livingston—I thought all the upper classmen were conceited and I thought I'd never graduate. Beverly Chamberlain—I was scared stiff and could hardly wait for the last bell to ring. Theme of Movie Class Motto: On to Victory. Class Colors: Blue and Gold. Class Flower: Rose.
