GlaM tJliitoAAf As we prepare to step out of high school and into a newer and broader world, let us pause a minute and review the past four years--years which we can rightly look back upon and consider among THE BEST YEARS OF OUR LIVES. We entered hieh school in the fall of 1947 with a class of twenty-two. As officers for the first year we chose: President, Floyd Campbell; Vice-President, Maureen Sanford; Secretary and Treasurer, Bernard Sullivan and Julia Leary respectively. Our class advisor was Mr. Snyder, and Joan Crossman and Philip Moore were our Student Council representatives. That year we partici- pated in the band, chorus, and pep band. Our boys cavorted about the baseball diamond and on the basketball court. Jack Creighton was stricken by rheumatic fever and did not return untill he came back two years later as a Sophomore, which, of course, was our Junior year. Peggy O'Donnell joined us as a transfer from Los Angeles, California.; and Richard Peryer and Rose Matthie left school during the year. The next fall we entered school again as Sophomores and only one leas, in number; Freda LaPoint had transferred to Canton, that year we elected Julia Leaiy, President; Joan Crossman, Vice- President; Floyd Campbell, as Secretary and Kernit Ford, as treasurer. Patricia Regan and Edward Gardner were Student council members. As usual, we took part in school activities, such as, band, chorus, basketball, baseball and Cheerleading as well. We also sponsored a very successful Halloween Party and presented a one act play in South Colton, She Ain't Done Right by Nell , a real old fashioned meller- dramar . Examin- ations were soon upon us, however, and the summer came bringing with it good old vacation time. September came and here we were. Juniors at last. To start the year we elected our class officers: Kermit Ford-President Maureen Sanford-Vice President, Julia Leary-Secretary and Vir- ginia Moore-Treasurer. Joan Crossman and Floyd Campbell were our Student Council representatives and Mr. Caruso was our class advisor. Edward Gardner left us during the year to en- list in the army; and Marshall Sevey, Arthur Tuper, Mavis John, son, and Gorden Fleming went to work. Our Junior functions were very successful both financially and socially. We sold Christmas cards, held a luncheon and held our Junior Prom in the gymnasium of our new school. Kermit Ford and Eileen Seaver were chosen King and Queen of the Prom by a popular vote of the student body. Susan Marden and Jane Sullivan were flower girls and Richard Murray and William Lennox carried the crowns. The King and Queen were attended by Philip Moore, Robert Sel- leck, Joan Crossman and Julia Leary. Our Class rings, which we had ordered in the Fall arrived before Christmas giving us a most welcome present.
