SENIOR OFFICERS lWinter '47 Classl President . . Wayne Bradshaw Vice-President . . Bill McClung Secretary . Dolores Byrns Treasurer Vera Wilford The curtain has already closed on the winter class of l947. A good hand ot applause could be heard from all sides. Winter '47 was indeed a class to be put on record. lis 37 graduates did much to leave behind them a shining example for the later classes to follow. A :chool record of ill service points, held for two years, was broken by four outstanding students of this small but mighty class. They were Charlyn Young and Bill Kennedy, each with ll5 points, Ralph Cogan with l25 points, and Darlene Dix, who went over the lop with the all-time high of l27 service points. Victorious over the Sr. Bees, W '47 won Field Day with Cl close score of 4-3. Successful class parties in- cluded those held at private homes, a trip to Blackouts, a surprise going-away party for Forrest Johnson lwho joined the Navyl, and the most recent at Mr. Richard- son's home-all of which proved grand successes be- cause attendance was rated as excellent. The picture presented by this class as its gift to the school was entitled Indian Nocturne, painted by Vtlano Gano. Chosen as the theme for their impressive gradua- tion pageant was the Art Exhibit. Only with Dave Paye holding the reins of the writing committee could any class have presented a more effective, as well as infor- mative program. Drowned still in the round of applause, the class of Winter '47 unflinchingly marched to the future. Deserving students receiving awards were: Ephebian . . Bill Kennedy Lions . David Paye Kiwanis . . Charlyn Young Bausch-Lomb . . Bill Kennedy C.S.F. . Darlene Dix, Bill Kennedy F.F.A. Scholarship . . Ralph Cogan t l t
