Class History We, the class of '47, have winged our wayil through three years of senior high school and three years of junior high school at Dixie Heights. We have progressed from a group of individually minded students from many pri- mary schools into a well organized Senior Class. Having spent the first four years at Dixie during the war, we are now graduating into a world of peace and the many opportunities which it offers. We have soared through high school from one interest to another. It took preparation, though, to operate successfully as a class. During our Freshman year we were grounded. Because of lack of cooperation and interest, we could do no better than to prepare for the next year. In our Sophomore year we really began to function. Guided by our sponsors, Miss Giles. Mrs. Fitz-Hugh, and Mr. Harris, and under the leadership of our class officers, Jimmy Jones. President, Ross Herron. Vice President, Anne Hawes, Secretary, and Darrel Lear, Treasurer, we took off with a show of power. We gave one dance after a basketball game and sold Dixie pennants. The sale -of the pennants was very successful, and our profits made us the best financed Sophomore class in the history of Dixie Heights. i The next year, as Juniors. we continued our emphasis on modern design. With plans for the Junior Prom foremost in our minds we got off to an early start. Helped by our sponsors, Miss Allgeyer and Mr. Greene, we lost no time in electing our class officers, George Allf, Presi- dent, Mary Read Crizzell, Vice President, Anne Hawes, Secretary, and Dot Schawe, Treasurer. We gave three dances after basketball games and sold magazine subscriptions. This, plus our Sophomore efforts, made possible the Junior Prom. Despite material shortages caused by the war, our Prom was very successful. Darrel Lear and Jean Litton were elected to preside over the Prom as King and Queen. We returned in the fall to complete the last lap of our flight through high school. We elected our class officers: Kathy Brode, President, Bob Blackburn, Vice Presidentg Shirley Landmeier, Secretary, and Jerry Ostrow, Treasurer. For the engineering which has made our Senior year so successful, we are grateful to our sponsors, Mrs. Miller and Mrs. Price. Our first activity was the Alumni Ball. Be- cause of the many alumni returning from the service, we had a record attendance. We elected Bob Blackburn and Nettie Lane Mr. and Miss Dixie X. Our next enterprise, the Annual, was a real test of our ability to work together. The Annual Staff was successfully organized with Anne Hawes as editor. The entire class was able to display its sales ability when we sold ads for the annual. We sponsored a photography project in which each member of the student body and Faculty had his picture made. We gave three dances after the basketball games. With the war over, plans went ahead on Dixiels football field. Our Senior year marked rapid progress at Dixie when the football field was built, and the lights which were erected made night games possible. The Pigskin Hop, which we gave following the last football game of the season, was held in the gym with a record attendance. At the same time Dixie's first band was organized under the leadership of Mr. Karl Schmidt. In May we presented the class play, '6House of Horrorsf' under the direction of Mrs. Donolley Cartwright. As the airship of our high school career nears its destination, we think back at the pleasant experiences which we have had. We are now taxiing up the runway to Baccalaureate, Class Night, and Graduation. Soon there will be others to take our place as Seniors. We are grateful for the fun, experience, and prepara- tion which Dixie Heights has given us. -PAUL PFENNIGWERTH Twenty-seven
