enior Glass Cgfistory As the seniors of this year, 1947 think back over the many hours spent in school, pleasant memories, forgotten for many years, emerge. We remember our first day of school and how we looked forward to it. lust thinking about it made us tingle all over. We remember the fun we had in grade school, and how mean some of us were. While holding the honor of being sixth grad- ers, we were privileged to visit the sev- enth grade classes at north high school. I'm sure most of us can remember still the excitement we experienced on that day. It was in 1941 when we finally be- came seventh graders and my!! how much superior we felt to the kids,' still in grades, but it was as freshmen that we felt the responsibility of being in high school. The seniors blamed us for everything. This was the year that our superiority really showed up, for it was our class in civics that got to visit and sit through the first kidnaping trial in Payne County. Another highlight in the ninth grade was our graduation. We had approximately 140 students to go with us thus far. Of course, since we have lost and gained many classmates but still we go on in high spirits. During the junior year we produced a very fine play which was well re- ceived. We'll have to admit that we scraped the bottom of the barrel to fi- nance the junior-senior banquet and prom., but we didn't have to pull from our pockets the necessary moola as some classes did. The big disappointment of our junior year was the fact that we had to remain at north high and never knew the fun of going to south high. As we finish our senior year, there are many things to look back on, but many more to look forward to. In our graduating class we have twelve veterans who so nobly served their country. They are Gerald Rogers, Lowell Garrett, Kenneth Glover, R. B. Howard, Glen Hartman, Eugene and Valgene Kramer, Norman Pilgrim, I. B. Scroggin, Paul Simpson, Paul Strick- land and Selby Thomason. We have 32 seniors who are the old- est child, 43 who are the youngest and I5 who are the only child. On a recent survey taken, it was found that 25 seniors plan to go to out- of-town colleges while III plan to at- tend good ole' A. 6: M. Also, 125 students plan to work at least part time or go into the service. As in previous years, the subjects listed the most difficult, are also the most in- teresting and worthwhile. These are physics, English, and shorthand. An added touch is that we have I5 seniors whose parents also graduated from S. H. S. They are Mary Frances Bruner and her parents, Myral Bruner and Wilma Houston, Billie King and her parents, W. S. King and Genevive Ward, Glenabell Craft and her fath- er, Martin Craft, Anita Ienkins and her mother, Stella Cawood, Laverne Adams and her father, W. V. Adams, Marilyn Miller and her father, Sid Miller, Bob Ahrberg and his father, Fred Ahrberg, Mary Ann Drumm and her mother, Mamie Hanes, Colleen Tinker and her father, L. E. Tinker, Iohn Duck and his parents, Iames Duck and Loretta Ey- lers, Herbert Graham and his mother, Hattie Hayman, Kenneth Glover and his mother, Grace Andrews, R. B. How- ard and his father, R. B.
