The junior class party was given on Washington's birthday and decorations were appropriate to the occasion. Cards, bingo, and dancing made the evening a happy one. . The Fillmore beginning typing team composed of Mary Jane Nichols and Wanda June Buis-both juniors--won first place as a team in the Putnam County Contest. As individuals, Wanda June placed second and Mary Jane, third. Members of the class on the softball team were Dick Girton, Noble Bowen, and Marion Miller. The same boys were on the basketball team. During the last of April, a bus was chartered by the class for the junior-senior three-day trip to Chicago. They were accompanied by Miss Joseph, principal, and Miss Thomas, class sponsor. No one returned with a broken neck due to skyscraper gazing-and all did return! More determined than ever was their chant for the next year, nOn to Washington, D. C.l' The class felt very indebted that year to their sponsors, Mr. Pruitt and Miss Thomas, for their helpful and constant aid. They were also indebted to Miss Joseph, Mr. Johnson, Miss Ferris, Mrs. Davidson, Mr. Craig, and Mr. Smith. Seventeen Seniors entered the halls of learning for their fourth and final year. Wanda June Buis returned to Green- castle High School for her final year and William Irving entered Reelsville High School. Those who started on the final lap of their journey were Jack Anderson, Noble Bowen, Wanda Collene Buis, Betty Cash, Wanda Eastham, Dick Girton, Nonma Gorham, Bob Henderson, Phyllis Huber, Bob Jones, Marion Miller, Evelyn Ne man, Mary Jane Nichols, Doyle Pickett, Dorothy Stoner, Ronald Tharp, and Wayne Tincher. Wanda C. Buis and Ronald Tharp were elected as two of the high school yell leaders, Ronald's third year. The seniors, in cooperation with the juniors, sponsored a highly successful Halloween Carnival. The positions of class leadership this year were President-Ronald Tharp, Vice President-Marion Miller, Secretary- Phyllis Ann Huber, and Treasurer-Noble Bowen. On October 27 the class decided to sell magazines for the Curtis Publishing Company. Their goal for the subscrip- tion drive was set at 8600. They were detenmined to go over the top, this they did with a total of S603.60. Certificates of Salesmanship achievement were awarded to those members who sold thirty dollars and over in subscrip- tions. The certificates were awarded to Wanda C. Buis, Wanda Eastham, Dick Girton, Norma Gorhan, Phyllis Ann Huber, Bob Jones, Mary Jane Nichols, Doyle Pickett, Dorothy Stoner, and Ronald Tharp.' On October 7 their contribution to the WRogues Galleryn was started. Porter's Studio of Indianapolis took individual pictures of the class. , On October 9, Miss Joseph took the senior government class to the trial of Floyd Hem er. Since the class had studied courtroom and trial procedure it proved very interesting as well as educational. A three act operetta, 'Hulda of Holland,n was presented by the high school music department under the direction of Mrs. Joe Davidson on November 20. The seniors in the cast were Noble Bowen, Ronald Tharp, Doyle Pickett, and Wanda Eastham. The senior members of the choruses were Norma Gorham, Wanda Buis, Phyllis Huber, and Dorothy Stoner. During November, the class met and chose Mary Jane Nichols, Dorothy Stoner, Phyllis Huber, and Norma Gorham as candidates for the annual D. A. R. WGood Citizenship Contest,' Of these girll, the faculty selected Nonma as the Fillmore representative. Nonma's essay placed second in the county contest. On Monday, March 1, l9L8, Dorothy Stoner decided she would resign from the senior class and change her name tc Hensen. She was married to Junior Hensen and they moved into an apartment in Indianapolis. The class missed her very much. The seniors were sponsors of a box supper on Friday night, March 19. A good crowd was present and many were quite surprised when their dinner companion was disclosed. March 8, the seniors and faculty received from the juniors an invitation to go to the Terre Haute House, April 17, for a reception. Of course, they had already planned to attend such an affair! The night came, April 17. The juniors, seniors, and faculty-dressed in their very best, girls wearing formals, boys wearing business suits-very happily journeyed to Terre Haute. The evening was enjoyed by all. The seniors worked very hard with the help of Miss Joseph and gave their class play in April. A large crowd was on hand to pronounce judgement. Every one agreed that it was a great success. Finally came the closing weeks of school and with it the closing activities of the senior class. The seniors could have been seen walking around the school in a very dignified manner and it almost seemed that this was their last day! The baccalaureate service was held on Sunday, April 25, at the Fillmore Christian Church with the Reverend James I, Shockley, pastor of the Christian Church delivering the address. All seniors were present to get their last minute advice. The following Thursday night, April 29, Judge Robert Stewart, of Clay Circuit Court, delivered the commencement address, at the Methodist Church. The graduating class was quite dignified in blue caps and gowns. Judge Stewart gave them some very sound advice to follow through the years to come. A sign of relief could be seen on faces as their diplomas were received. With these diplomas, they were ready to say good-bye to F. H. S. Then the big event for which they had been waiting arrived-their trip to Washington. They started early on Monday morning, May 3, and returned Saturday night, May 8. Probably 'all were a little tired but none were sorry for a minute that they had gone. They saw many interesting sights too numerous to mention. Several of the teachers went along to help keep them in the right bus and hotel. All agreed that Washington was a big place for such s all people. Each one is on his own road now. He doesn't have the others to lean on. A wish from everyone, 'May they prosper greatly and have many happy days through future years.' The End al .. X-
