CLASS OF '47 t ART MCLEAN. Secretary: DICK LIENHARD. Vice-President: BEN NEXVLAND. President. It's hard to believe that this class of '47 were once sophomores. Yet, they too entered Everett High School a disorganized and bewildered group. 'The beginning step in becoming a part of school life was the first class meeting and elec- tion. Officers elected were Bill Nichols, president: Fred Denman, vicepresident: Kenneth Walters, secretary: and Iohn Bingen, treasurer. ln a few weeks the sophomores were taking an active part in high school affairs. Who will ever for- get the first pep assembly, the first football game of the season, the sock hops in the gym, and most thrilling of all, Campus Day. As the months went by, the class of '47 became an organized group in school life. Two members were appoint- ed to the Board of Control, a large group of sophomores turned out during football season, and two succeeded in making their letters. Then their interest turned to basketball, and many sophies were placed on the second squad. Turning out for swirnrning, two sophomores made their letters in this sport. This sophomore class not only entered into athletics, but was also rep- resented in other school branches, including or- chestra, band, choral groups, and the Torch Society. - Corning back the next year to take their place as juniors, they proved their worth not only on the athletic field, but also in scholarship and in the governing of our student body. Returning to school meant the renewing of old acquaintances, the making of new ones, serving on committees, and acting as officers of various school organiza- tions. Iunior lettermen rounded out the nucleus of all the athletic teams and proved that they had the ability to become stars in their senior year. Fred Denman, Mary Ellen Moody, and Niche Vidricksen, were chosen president, vice-president, and secretary to represent the class during their junior year. The Iunior Prom, an annual for- mal dance of the school, was one of the hi-lights of the year. The juniors chose Davy lones' locker as the theme and decorated the gym effectively. Comments by the students proved that the Iunior Prom was a huge success. This class showed their talent in another field when they produced the Hi Iinx act Gull's Nest . Al- though proclaimed the peppiest group in school, the juniors, realizing that this year was the most carefree they would ever have, began prepaging seriously for the responsibilities that would rest on their shoulders during their senior year. Then came the time long-awaited, the year they had looked forward to since grade school- the senior year. Athletically, scholastically, and socially, they became the leaders of the school. In May elections, the seniors elected Ben New- land, president: Dick Lienhard, vice-president: and Art McLean, secretary. The seniors brought forth their dramatic and musical talents to put on May Day Festival in the Hi-linx Cremember the fairy dancers?l. Some of the high spots of the senior year were those wonderful weeks of vaca- tion caused by the snow, not to mention a few broken legs and arms as a consequence of skiing, the Christmas Pageant, and the Margie dance. All too soon came spring and with it spring Vaca- tion, track meets, the street dance after Campus Day, graduation clothes, and the Blue and Gold. Then with the realization that lune meant the end of a wonderful part of their lives, a part that could never be repeated, these seniors under- stood how others had felt leaving the halls of Everett High School and entering into an unknown world. Many will find new surroundings and new friends, but memories will return to remind them of their high school days.
