OFFICERS: Emery Brazil, President; Don Parry, Secretary; Carolyn Mansfield, Treasurer; Leonlel Baldwin, Vice President. 1944-1945 This unforgetable year was our first in high school. As green as we were, we adjusted ourselves to the social life which helped us in our following years In school. It was quite a shook to us poor Fresh- ies having the point system ohanged. Our real chanoe oame in giving the play, Torn 3awyer, soared as we were, we gave a fine performance. What a year 11 ii Hearing that the Seniors were not going to let us go to the Prom became our first disap- pointment. Funny thing! Hi There were Just as many freshmen as any other class. 1945-1946 Our success in the second year began with a danoe oalled “Sadie Hawkins Day, whloh was liked by all beoause of the help it gave some girls. All our talents were really shown in the play “June Mad, a three act comedy. As a reward for all our hard work in putting the play over, we were given a spaghetti supper, with baked beans, potato salad, and cole slaw- -some thing fit for a king. To end the year up with a bang, we had a Mixer Dance, and gave out paper mixing bowls as favors. We felt sure that no other class had ever put on as many successes as we have. 1946- 1947 This year gave us a chance to show our originality by putting on the first Night Club style dance, called Balloon Bally-Hoo or Club Junior. then came the chance for the boys to make themselves a name by putting on Junior Follies, a minstrel show. The year was climaxed by our grand and glorious Prom; all centered around An old Dutch Garden. The hardest part came when we wanted to get the Dutch mill out to the Pavilion, but our cunning politicians came to the rescue and gave Mr. Swingley the Job of finding a truck. He finally did, too III To walk in and see the beautifully decorated room witty tulips and Dutch cos tumes, was enough reward for our hard labor. 1947- 1948 Our Senior year brought about the happiest days of our four years. Dignified high school students! This year stood for more sophisticated things than Just putting on a play, giving a dinner or doing mischievous things. We, the Seniors of 48, finally bad to get down to business, and work out ideas for our future days. There was the ordering of caps and gowns, getting cards and invitations, working on the REFLECTOR, planning the Senior trip, and many small but important jobs to be done. In finishing up the year we gave an April Showers dance which was highly praised. Sometimes when we have a moment to sparer our thoughts turn to never coming back to school; and of course we try to dismiss this thought right away. For you see, although sometimes we wish it were over, in reality we love it and will miss these glorious days.
