On February 2b, 25, and 26, the Fillmore Cards played in the Sectional Tourney. They won the tourney and the seniors boys were happy to be a part of the team. They lost their second game in the Regional, however. The senior boys--Noble Tharp, Kenneth Carpenter, Roland Neier, Noble Tharp, Gene Deweese, and Harry Custis--received awards at the basketball sup- per given in the boys' honor on March ll, in the Fillmore school house. Ethel also won an award. After supper a magician entertained with tricks. On March 18, the seniors sponsored a St. Patricks Day Hop in the Fillmore gymnasium. The gym was decorated in the traditional green with white trimming. Everyone enjoyed everything, from dancing to refreshments. Three senior girls--Wilma Wilson, Anita Selsor, and Vera Jean Ross--went to the county contests to represent the advanced typing class. They won sec- ond as a team. A guidance conference was held at the Greencastle auditorium on March 21. The conference was to help all who plan to attend college either this sum er or this coming fall, Those who went from the senior class were: Ethel Thomp- son, Rachel Lisby, and Judith Pruitt. On April 2h, Baccalaureate Service was held at the Methodist Church. The twenty seniors were attired in suits. Reverend Robert Robinson was their speaker and gave a very interesting talk. The high school chorus furnished the music. Thursday, April 28, the seniors gathered together at the Christian Church for what would probably be the last time. The girls wore white dresses, the boys,suits. Dr. John Haramy was the speaker of the evening. An ensemble from the Lyons Music Company of Crawfordsville presented several enjoyable selec- tions. The twenty seniors proudly received diplomas to signify that they were graduates after twelve years of hard toil for them--and the teachers. On April 9, the Alu ni Banquet was held at the Fillmore school house. Several attended and all had a nice time, especially the seniors since this was their first year. It is hoped they all may be there in years to come. Another high-lite of the year was the junior and senior reception, held in April. All the seniors who went enjoyed the evening and thanked the jun- iors for their last prom. The group, including seniors, teachers, and others, left for a nine day trip on April 30, at 6:00 a.m. They saw Washington, D.C., Annapolis Naval Academy, New York City, Statue of Liberty, Niagara Falls, and Canada. Happy but tired they returned home on May 8. Those who were missing were: Anita Selsor, Patty Henderson, and Noble Alexander. This ends their history for now, but it is hoped that their future his- tory will be marked with success and outstanding events. It is also hoped that future years will be as happy as the past twelve years have been for them. The End .X Q 1 if --i KET 8522222--N's.......QQ...-iiL------ - -ig ff N Q f is
