THE SENIOR CLASS HISTORY Four years ago when we entered Corder High School, we were 17 mighty, bold, enthusiastic, mischievious freshmen. We were told that every- thing would be different from that to which we were accustomed. So we de- cided to analize the whole deal. Nothing could stop us--not even the Seniors who thought themselves mightier than we. Soon after school opened we were initiated as was the custom of Corder High School. We had heard blood-curdling tales of freshmen initiation, so we looked forward to that time with anticipation and bravado. We came through that deal undauntedl During our freshman year four boys dropped out and one girl joined our class. Three years ago, 12 energetic students marched up the stairs to embark upon their sophomore year in Corder High. This year was slightly more event- ful than the previous year. A taffy pull, a line party, a hen party, and the Senior breakfast were the highlights of the year. During the year our class decreased by four, two boys and two girls, and increased by one, a girl. Two years ago, we entered our Junior year with 11 members. This year We encountered many new and different experiences. Four members from our class participated in a beauty contest held at the Davis Theatre in Higginsville on January 18, 1946. Shirley Schafer, one of our members, recieved first prize from Corder. Finally, we had a chance to show our dramatic ability to the public. Our Iunior Play Here She Comes was presented on February 15, 1946 and it turned out to be a great success. The major event of the year was the junior- Senior Banquet Prom, with the rainbow theme carried out, which was held at Riggles Cafe in Warrensburg on May 15, 1946. Also during the year a line party and hen party were held. At last, the long awaited day arrived. We were Seniors. Eight sophisticated Seniors! With only one year of high school remaining before us. Since it is a custom in Corder High School to initiate the Freshmen, we proceeded with the custom and started making plans as to what we would do with them. Instead of having a cruel initiation, we gave the entire school a party at teen town with the Freshmen as our guests. After playing several stunts on the Freshmen, we spent the rest of the evening playing games. Our class had the distinction of being the first all-girl class and also the first class to order our class rings during our Iunior year. We received our beautiful class rings in October 1946, and they will be cherished by us all so long as we shall live. We were planning on taking it real easy this year. But this was not to be. After Christmas we started taking business arithmetic which gave us five subjects to carry. On February 5, 1947, Dorothy Schaller left our class to be married. One of the highlights of the year Was our Senior Play, For Beauty's Sake which was presented in March, 1947. On Feb- ruary 7, 1947, the Senior class and our sponsor, Mr. Jung, went to Sedalia to have our pictures taken. Cars were furnished by Jewell Pregge and Harvey Heimsoth, a former member of our class. We are looking forward to the junior-Senior Prom, the Sophomore-Senior breakfast, and our Senior week with great anticipation. We, the Senior class of '47 will always remember the many happy days spent in Corder High School. O
