Senior Class History In September of '46 eighteen Green Freshies entered old E. H. S. wondering where to go next. In a few days we were straightened out and settled down to our high school days.

They were Patsy Thompson, Dorothy Hruby, and Robert Padgett. VVe had lost two of our former members, Edward Rentschler and Jeanette Kiegel, who had quit school. During our Sophomore year we lost two more members, Dorothy Hruby and Johnny Ohning, who moved to Evansville, leaving us a total of seven- teen members. We returned with sixteen Jolly Juniors having lost one member, Bonnie Richardson, who was married during the summer. During the year we gained one new member, Mary Parton, who came here from Reitzg but we also lost one member, Kermit Miles, who moved to Evans- ville and is attending Reitz. This gave us a total of sixteen Jolly Juniors . Our Junior year was filled with new experiences such as giving a class play, selling magazines, and giving the Junior-Senior banquet, which we all enjoyed very much. Now we are Dignified Seniors . We began our Senior year with sixteen members but lost two, Myrtle Casper, who got married and Robert Padgett, who quit school, leaving us with fourteen members to graduate. They are: Doris Arendell, Marilene Thene, Mary Parton, Janie Vaught, Patsy Vaught, Pearl Sellers, Janice Duffy, Patsy Thomp- son, Irma Oeth, Royce Speicher, Charles Poiles, Harold Hollingsworth, Robert Voyles, and Clarence Baughn. Clarence Baughn, who met all the requirements to graduate at the end of the Hrst semester, withdrew February 27, to accept a job at Servel. He is still considered a member of our class and will return for graduation exercises. We are proud to say that seven of our members have completed all twelve years of school at E. H. S. together. They are Pearl Sellers, Doris Arendell, Marilene Thene, Irma Oeth, Royce Speicher, Charles Poiles, and Harold Hollingsworth. Now the time has come for us to bid E. H. S. a fond farewell. We have all enjoyed the years we have spent here together and we hope that all other classes enjoy their years here as much as we have. So to all the students and teachers we say HFAREWELL AND BEST WISHES3'
