fCoutinued from page 155 Joe Eggebrecht held the positions of vice- president and secretary-treasurer, respectively. The resignation of three senior cheer- leaders required that the juniors take their place in another activity. Phyllis Phalen, Lorraine Baker, and Margaret Wolbart repre- sented our class well and continued to do so throughout their senior year as cheerleaders we can well be proud of. The junior All-School party attracted a crowd which thronged the halls for an evening of entertainment long to be remembered. Bingo, bowling, darts, and motion pictures took up the evening for those who were not dancing to the music of the ever faithful juke box. Sport fans found the junior class second only in numbers to the seniors, with George Acker, Christ Christ, Bob Dennison, Gene Fish, Bob Kernan, and Joe Vaile taking honors on the grid-iron. Juniors hitting the hoops for the Dukes hardwood squad were Joe Vaile, George Acker, Bob Kernan, Joe Eggebrecht, Don Higgs, Charles Bareis, Christ Christ, and Bob Brotherton. The Dixini found itself being edited by a completely new staff at the start of the second semester. Rosemary Baker headed these newcomers to journalism, her task was one which required patience and much effort. This staff completely issued the paper until the class of 1947 became the governing group of the school paper in January, 1946. The first prom for our class was an event that words are inadequate to describe. To many whose older brothers and sisters had put in them a yearning for the grandest event in the school year, it was a dream come true. A beautifully decorated cafeteria and gym pro- vided an atmosphere in complete accord with the dress of night-lifers on parade, orchestral music set the mood for the last social event of the school year. To all it was a truly memor- able event, one to be remembered eternally by seniors and looked forward to again by the juniors. Mighty seniors at last., only to find that we had gained more responsibilities in addition to the prestige our rank brought to us. The year now seems to us as a dream which is never to be equaled in our lifetime. Will you ever forget those good times at Tony's and Fulf's? Those spring days when school was just another grind? Those embarassed boys receiving the cherished letters? The prom and all its memories? Can't you just see the boys pouring over trig or chemistry books, solving for the inevitable X ? Or the girls and their shorthand troubles . . . The inventor of shorthand should have had the same fate as Dillinger! And remember the day we found that Janice Jensen was elected president, Don Higgs vice-president, and Karl Shaver secre- tary-treasurer? Those and many other thoughts will recur to our minds in the years to come, be we typists or technicians. We have received a free educationg may we use that education to the betterment of mankind, that others like us may enjoy an even better way of life in America, the Land of the Free.
