SENIOR HISTORY Sandy says: Senior history in the makin' was wor-r-r-k as well as fun. By lookin' through this annual ye can see what we ha done CLASS OFFICERS Margie Pinkham (Student Council) John Eastman (President) Leland Morgan (Vioe-President) Beverly Vincent (Secretary-Treasurer) Qerry Benedict (Reporter) Four years--that seemed like a long time on Sept. 3r 1943 when ray classmates and I started to E. T. H. S. as green little freshmen,afraid of everything and everyone. Now, those four years seem a very short time. It seems only yesterday that we elected Bill West,President; Walter Pfister,Vice-President; Betty Jurgens,Secretary-Treasurer; and Doris Wadsworth, Student Council; as our freshmen class officers with Mr. Snyder, Miss Crowley and Miss Miles as our sponsors. A year later we found on the first day of school that we had lost only seven of our classmates, leaving us with 61, the largest class in school. That year our olass officers were Kaywin Burroughs, President;Walter Pfister, Vice-President; Gerry Benedict, Secretary-Treasurer; and Doris Wadsworth, Student Council representative with Mr. Maurer, Miss Grandy, and Mrs. Miller as our class sponsors. Next came our year of all years. We were Juniors. This meant we had work and more work to do. Earning money by selling refreshments at games, giving the Junior Play Ever Since Eve and finally Prom. Our officers were John Eastman, President; Gerry Benedict, Vice-President; Joan Wollenschlager, Secretary-Treasurer; and Leland Morgan,and Margie Pinkham, Student Council representative with Mrs. Douglas, Mrs. Miller, and Mr. Reckling as sponsors. In our final year at E. T. H. S. we had 45 members led by our sponsor, Miss Stuart and our officers, John Eastman, President; Leland Morgan, Vice-President; Beverly Vincent, Secretary-Treasurer; and Margie Pinkham and Leland Morgan, Student Council. Our activities for this year included a scavenger hunt and hamburger fry under the direction of Miss Stuart.The Reporter Staffs were very busy this year printing all the latest news. Not to be forgotten is the Annual Staff under the Editorship of Donna Epps. And now as we draw near to the end of our fourth year which seemed so far away when we were freshmen, my classmates and I wish we were freshmen once more. This is impossible we know,but we will take many memories of friendship and good times with us as we go on to our next position in life.
