Bill Alexander, View-Prcszklcrztg Harvey Hemi. President,- Earl Jones, TI'1'II.Slll'f'l'j Kenneth Turner, Nccrctury. Senior Class The senior class started the year with election ot' officers, conducted by the Stu- dent Uouucil. ln the race for president, Harvey Benn defeated Bill Alexander, who automatically became vice-president. Kenneth 'llurner was elected secretary and l'larl Jones won the treasurer's job. The class received a blow when one of its members, Leone Lee, was killed in an automobile accident on December 1. During the entire year the main topic of discussion was the public-address sys- tem which the classes of 1941, 1942, and 1943 had voted to give tl1e school as their class gift but which had not been in- PAGH19 stalled due to a shortage of materials. After much argument as to whether to put in a possibly inadequate system or to keep the money until proper equip- ment could be purchased, the class voted to invest the money, about 512175, in U. S. 1Var Bonds for the duration. The outstanding' social events of the year were the Junior-Senior Social Hlld Senior Play. 'llom flranford and Dot Murray were elected representative boy and girl of the S0l1l0l' class. At the next-to-last class meeting it was decided to have a class reunion in tive years. President Renn appointed a committee to arrange for the meeting.
