Barron SEVENTH ROW-G. 2 Under the capable leadership of President Bob Rucosky, Vice President Jim Johnston, and Secretary Karl Fried- line, the Class of '47, upperclassmen at last, swung into their third year at Femdale High. A good-looking plain gold class ring, chosen unanimously by the class, was delivered early in December. Heavy schedules including languages, shorthand, mathematics, chemistry, and physics were taken in stride by the juniors, for again this year the class topped the six-weeks honor roll. Not stopping with curricular activities, they were also seen on the athletic field and gym floor as inter- ighO — P. Coughenour. Gastlev. C. Kukenberger. Kolar. Pinelli. Bandrowskv Dvba.

 Heaven Can Wait was the intriguing title of the annual dramatic presentation by the Senior Class. The plot centered about a young boxer (Bob La Brie) who was taken to heaven sixty years before his time by an over-zealous messenger from the other world (Leonard Hayhurst). While his body was uninhabited, it was cremated by his manager (Tom Churchey). Accompanied by an executive from heaven (Bill Kodrowsky), the saxophone-tooting boxer traveled to the earth in search of a body suitable to replace the one from which he had been snatched. His insistence that it must be in the pink made the search difficult. Eager to assist an attractive young lady (Doris Price) in her efforts to help her father out of a financial and legal predicament, Joe lived for a time in the body of a Mr. Farnsworth, who had been drowned by his wife (Hazel Bard) and his assistant (Bob Walkowski). A succession of humorous incidents kept the audience delightfully entertained, while the thread of philosophy running through the play was stimulating to the more serious-minded. In the final act, Joe Pendleton was placed in the body of a murdered boxer and lost all recollection of the strange events which had befallen him. As a new personality, he faced the prospect of a happy, normal life, and the play was brought to a satisfactory conclusion. The production was witnessed by the largest audiences in the history of the school, and was highly praised by all who attended. Knowing how hard the performers worked for their laurels, the class was justly proud of them. PASSENGERS TO HEAVEN. ROW — Davis. Clawson. Rager. Baker. Cameron. FIRST ROW. (left to right 1—Crinlip.

Juniors class and interscholastic sportsmen, giving up free periods to rehearse for musical organizations, showing their extensive talent in assemblies, working on the student council, planning Girl Reserve and Hi-Y activities, or dashing out to finish an assign- ment for the Courier. A few also helped on the Reflector. Nor were dances neglected — support was given to every one. Though magazine sales were not up to the previous year's record, the class honored the seniors at the annual prom. On the whole, a highly successful year was completed, and the group eagerly anticipates capturing additional laurels as seniors. IUNIOR BOYS FIRST ROW «left to right) — !. Witprachtiger. S. Mish.
