Irwin who has proven her skill in the leadership of girls while teach- ing at the Greenriver Hirh School during the year of 1945-46. The Senior H lgh School Girls sewed clothing of all types un- til the last semester when the Junior High School Girl3 .loined their class in making and covering benches, dressing tables, sew- ing boxes, stools etc. During this time a chosen group under-took the task of upholstering the office furniture and redecorating the room. This feat was under the leadership of both Mrs. Irwin and Kiss I.’aomi Jensen, the County none Demonstration Agent. The effect was ost astounding but this accomnllshnent demonstrated the true artistic ability of the Sewing Class. ART Under the capable leadership of Mrs. Gladys Jone3, the Art Class for the year of 1945-46 could be described as: Fun1 FunI FunI Just to sit and dream. Wake up and find a lovely scene. Oh yes, we had an Art Class with artists of whom we are proud. They played with colored inks and paint-------both pastel and loud. They painted pictures of every type--------brilliant day and darkest night. As the year rolled by, they painted more end •f’ore. Just Posters I Posters I Poatersl They pointed unique posters galore. Several of these art students have displayed very promising ability in doing art work-----it is our hope that they can fully develope them.

The plays were considered very successful, the fact of which added the students in becoming more efficient in experience for w rk’nr toward other accomplishments during the year. The Students in the Speech Class enjoyed broadcast'ng their scriots over the microphone, which was located in the office. This fun was envied by the other students not taking the class, especially by those who were stuttering over their Latin books during tic sa e hour.

Gary King was elected Vice-President, Marjorie Gremllch Secretary and Adelyn Irwin Representative. Our Freshman Initiation was a huge success,—thanks to the Juniors. The Assembly on Initiation day was sponsored by the Freshman Class. At the Masquerade Ball each class maintained a booth, ours was one of the best. The proceeds from this booth were placed In the class treasury. We Freshles entertained the entire Rich School and the Basketball team with a student body party in December . At the close of our Freshman year we have become accustomed to the many sarcastic remarks that have been flung at us because we wore green; Now we are proud to say: Don't get sore when they call you green. Stop and think what they really mean. That you're young and vigorous and full of life Ready for anything, battle or strife. Come back strong, say, you bet Hope I n green for a long while yet, This should never be forgotton For after ripe comes rotton.

Our class was blessed with a blithe spirit as we Juniors carried our colors into a very successful and Joyous school. A hilarious initiation of all Freshmen was held on Sep- tember 28th, with characters ranging from cavemen to glamor girls, who paraded the halls bowing humbly to the honorable J uniors. Immediately following the initiation was the Hello Dance , welcoming the Freshlcs into the folds of High School. The Juniors took part in sponsoring the Halloween Dance , on October 26th, by maintaining a snapshot studio. The Junior-Senior Assembly was produced in Hovenber, with participation from all the class. The results of which were very enloyable for everyone present. The most pleasant time of the year to all students as well as to the Junior Class was on the evening of March 22nd, when splendor and glamor as has not been seen in Greenrlver for many years, shown forth in the beautiful array of the Junior Prom, its theme was entitled Aople Blossom Time . Mr. Angelo Cuatto1s Orchestra of Price, Utah furnished lovely music to match the occasion. The spirit of the dance was gay and free, thus contributing to its huge success. Plans for the Junior-Senior Banquet are being considered. This last activity will end a harmonious year of events in the Junior Class. V . {■ ■ JL J V .

Yes, four long tedious years of effort v as poured forth with great diligence to effect the priviledge of being in this lime- light. During this, our last year at Greenriver High, we have joined in the following activities with such pep as only Seniors possess• First on our list of activities was the Masquerade Ball on October 31, when we skillfully maintained a fortune telling booth which proved to bo very successful before the close of the even- ing. Following the Masquerade Ball was the hilarious but very successful New Years Dance. Next came the Junior and Senior Assembly, followed by the enchanting Post Prom on the evening of March 29th. We Seniors fully enjoyed ”0 day on March 5, when we ful- filled the duties implied by a custom which originated In the school several years ago. On this day the Senior Class is obliged to whitewash the G emblem,•which is located on a hill some distance from the school building. This we did with satis- faction to ourselves as well as to our lower classmen and faculty members.
