SENIOR CLASS HISTORY We will begin in writing the history of the Senior Class of 1948 in the school year of nineteen forty-six and seven, when all of the Climax Township Schools consolidated. The first problem we had to solve was how to divide the money that the two classes already had. The class from Scotts had the most money, so, naturally they wanted to divide it among themselves: but, it was finally decided to put the money from both classes together. We elected Robert Haas from the Scotts area as our president. There was a total of eighteen members in the class who were: Ruth Case, Barbara Cousins, Wilbur Coville, Charles Eastman, Merle l-litchings, Iris Kuehn, Pat Low, Don Penney, Don Perkins, Kathryn Scott, Frank Scramlin, Irene Sirnmons Loreen Slaybaugh, Bernita Westfall, lone Piper, Doris Fenwick, Bob Putnam, and Robert Haas. After a short tirne everyone got acquainted, and we decided that each one is working with the same objective in view, that of gaining the best education he can. The next year found us Seniors, and everyone was back except Charles Eastman: but, after about six weeks of school in Arizona, Charles decided that he couldn't leave all of his fellow classmates in Michigan to the mercy of the teachers so he came back. Again this year, Robert Haas was elected our class president. We are now looking forward to the time when we shall graduate from this institution, as we hope to do in the near future. Then we will be and become members of the alumni. BY Don Perkins
