1 1 . Z ,ef7f.41,.g-fd A 2 'nn Class of 47' has had a very successful and eventful four years of high school at dear old CUHQSQ Being initiated as little green Freshmen, we didn't have much of a chance at first, but after tne first day we gained our composure. We elected Mr. Jenkins as our class sponsor who was very helpful with the Sophomore Return and other social affairs given during that year. As Scphmores we got to do the initiating for a change, and then started off the social' affnirs of the year by honoring the Freshmen with the Freshmen reception. During that year we selected Mr. Lanier as our class sponsor who stayed with us for the rest cf our high school days. lhe Junior year proved to be a lot of work, and also fun, as ie sold pop and hot dogs at all football games and sponsored the football dances in an effort to earn money for the annual Junior- Senior Prom. We also helped the cause by present- ing the Junior play, Charley's Aunt , which was said to be one of the best plays ever given here. We did a very good job of making money, and as usual the Prom was the outstanding social event of the year. We used the desert theme in our decora- tions and got many compliments on our works At long last. we finally reached the honored po ition of Seniors , and our work being over we made the agreement to have fun, which we did. We had our Senior Ditch Day May 2 and 5, at Mount Lemon beside our other parties. 'lhis year's graduating class has not only been outstanding in social affairs but in all the activities around school, athletics, music. etc. We have maintained a high scholastic average, and have had several on the honor roll each time. In all drives we have como out at the top Although we have lost a few of our classmates that started with us, during the years we have gained some new ones. And all of us will always remember the good times we have had together.
