AILEEN PRESIDENT-AILEEN MITCHELL Singing her way into the entertainment spotlight with her twin sister. Aileen led the mid-termers through a successful Senior A. semester. VICE-PRESIDENT-ED JOHNSON The fair-haired center in the cast of the Seagull football squad and director of the Ski Club, Ed served as vice-president of the Class of 194712. SECRETARY-TREASURER-BETTY MILLS An important figure in the journalistic world at Everett High School was an attractive dark-haired girl, Betty Mills. secretary-treasurer of her class. The climax of the drama had come after three years. No, they weren't long years, for they went by swiftly, packed with the innumerable things, both large and small, that have given high school days so treasured a place in the memories of graduates for many decades. Cn the night of Commencement into a new setting of life, each graduating Senior re- called in his memory the events of the three years just completed. He relived the first day the mid-year class came to high school, adjusting themselves to their new environment smoothly and unobtrusively. Bob Dickson, Dan Reynolds, and Betty Mills, who were pres- ident, vice-president, and secretary-treasurer, respectively, represented the new class in Student Council. The forty-six students truly became a part of the high school as they participated in school activities. The summer months came between the B and A semesters of their Sophomore year. They became Juniors that January, feeling that they had the most comfortable spot among classes, being neither too near the green stage, nor yet the time they must sing Re- memb'ring. Jim O'Donnell was chosen to wield the gavel, Betty Mills was vice-president, and the secretary's book was entrusted to Art Burns. Although being mid-years, th ey missed out in planning the Junior Prom, still there were many jobs for them to Clo on other committees, and in the administration of student government, Theirs were respon- sible places on the school teams, the Kodak staff, and the Safety Squad, to mention a few. The Class of '47V2 completed their Junior A and Senior B semesters the next year. Virginia Marchand, president, and Dick Moore, vice-president, guided this small but en- terprising group during the nine months. As the Commencement speakers spoke for the class that evening of January l7, l948, scenes from their last Senior semester flashed through the minds of the capped and gowned young people seated on the stage awaiting their diplomas: the thrill of being part of hundreds of voices united in the Star Spangled Banner under the cold starlight at a football game, cramming for final exams, ordering graduation announcements and decid- ing on picture proofs, the Senior Banquet, and those Senior guidance tests with their seemingly eccentric questions. All these and a multitude of other things were remembered. Soon Commencement was over, however, and the curtain fell on the scene of the high school lives of those forty-six young adults. l7
