Margaret Ann Plumton was selected by her classmates and the faculty as Farmington High School's 1950 representative. Keith johnson Memorial This special recognition is given annually to that senior who resembles the fine school citizen- ship that Keith Gordon johnson showed in everything he did. As a result of senior-faculty vote, the name of the winner is engraved on the bronze and Walnut plaque which the Class of 1940 presented to the high school in honor of their classmate. Traits con- sidered in the final selection are cooperation, de- pendability, initiative, promptness, honesty, clean habits, stability, and scholarship. George Barrons will receive the 1950 plaque at a special assembly in Iune. ATHLETIC AWARDS - AschenBrenner Trophy The AschenBrenner Athletic Trophy was presented anonymously in memory of Dr. Zae R.

CRISPIWS 'IASTE OF i-IISTORY April Showers is their last fling this junior yearg Then B. Henke at Girls' State does appear, Treweek, Tyler, Barrons, and Klees at Wolverine State Learn much about government and the world's fate. George Barrons another distinction does receive-- The Brykalski-Coolman Award--the first, I believe. Jones, Plumton, Labadie, and Ruch enroll With Stuntz and Vivier in Quill and Scroll. Meditating, I slowly and hungrily devoured this verse, but with my eyes only: The poor old school has made many a friend, But, when the seniors approach, it knows it's the end. Here comes President Treweek with a big, happy smile, Welcomed by Vice-President Tupper, right in style. Then comes Secretary Garchow, who is willing to please, Closely followed by Treasurer Ralph Klees. They sponsor a dance called the Autumn Twirl , With colorful leaves all in a swirl. A committee picks for the Senior Play A gay comedy, Our Hearts Were Young and Gay . It develops in Europe about nineteen twenty, Of laughs and predicaments it has plenty. The Senior Prom is held April twenty-nine, Swing-out, june 8, shows the graduates in solemn line. At Baccalaureate, June 11, they think they are wise, But at Commencement many have tears in their eyes. As I curled up to dream about the future of these fine folks, I discovered, tucked between the pages, this note. It was addressed to Miss Ruth L. Bailey, for four years chairman of their sponsors.
