THE SENIOR CLASS The class of 1947 has been successful in almost every venture throughout its four years at George Vifashington High School. Last year, as a junior class , it made leaps and bounds in its promotion of the school's social functions, the first of which was the Junior Record Hop given on December 9, 1945. Following this, were the junior as- sembly on February 6 and 7 and the lessons in the fundamentals of danc- ing for freshmen in March. Another record hop was given on March 29g and a tea dance, on April 16. The grand climax of last year's accom- plishments was the 'ijunior Prom given, on May 3, for the senior class. Senior class officers were selected early in 1946 and the class had an opportunity to plan for an even better year than the one preceding. The senior dance was given on No- vember 1 and the well-known Senior Day brightened G. NV.'s halls on December 4. Baccalaureate services for the February graduating class were held on January 19. Their senior prom was given on january 23 and their commencement took place on january 24. The annual spring play was presented on May 16. The Senior Prom was given on June 9 and the glorious, yet almost sorrowful, last day, with its commencement exercises, was june 10. -1201
