SENIOR CLASS OFFICERS Left to right: Fred Bennett, President, Don McCoy, Vice-President, Lnuella Pr-rdew, Secretnryg Richard Ayers, Treasurer. THE SENIOR CLASS As we near the end of our school year the senior class of 1948, amid memories of dramatic successes, athletic honors, and scholastic achieve- ments, pauses to summarize the innumerable events of the final year of our high school career. Under the able guidance of our class officers: Fred Bennett, President, Donald McCoy, vice- presidentg Louella Perdew, secretary, and Rich- ard Ayers, treasurer, we have reached the peak of our expectations. However, this was made pos- sible only through the cooperation of Mrs. Nellie Hilton, social adviser, Mr. Carl Ritchie, busi- ness adviser, and Mr. Leon Klompus, and Mr. James Engle, Sabre advisers. The members of the class have proven their intellectual ability. Individual honors were be- stowed on Donald McCoy for his winning of the I Speak for Democracy contest and Betty Bar- nett for carrying away first prize in writing the winning essay for the National Guard. Liquidating the prophecy that brawn and brains do not mix, members of our class helped to cap- ture the City Championship in football and the WMI League title and City Championship in basketball. The theatrical stage was not unknown to us. In the annual tournament we placed first for two consecutive years with members of both winning casts receiving the best actors crown. On April 9 the presentation of Life of the Party, under the skillful directing of Miss Gerardine Pritch- ard, was acclaimed a hilarious success by a capa- city audience. Early in the fall, plans were formulated for the Senior Prom and on June 5 the committee's efforts materialized into what proved to be one of the outstanding activities of the year. The curtain rose and fell for the last time on us as seniors on June 10. We have taken our final curtain call and now proudly go forth to put into actions our class motto, In ourselves, our future lies.
