SENIOR CLASS HIS TOR Y On September sixth, nineteen hundred and forty three, twenty-two green freshmen entered the halls of G. V. H. S. At our first class meeting we organized and elected Fonda Lahman as president, Ike Baysinger vice president, Marvin Dean as the secretary and treasurer. We chose Evelyn Parr as our student council representative, Carrie 1VIcCarrio moved away at the beginning of the year and Lyman Urish left at the end of the first year. This left twenty members in our Sophomore class. We were less bashful this year and it did not take us long to organize with Evelyn Parr as president, Dale Drake vice president, Ike Baysinger as secretary-treasurer. Our boys have been very active in athletics and the girls have been very active in school activities. We were very unfortunate in losing three members at the end of our sophomore year. They were Leonard Aldrich, Etta Forbes and Carl Waymire. The junior year was for the most of us the hardest one. The seventeen members left in our class were by now very much at home in the halls of G.V.H.S. The officers this year were elected and they were all boys with Dick Chitwood president, Bob Sloter, vice president, and Ike Baysinger, secretary-treasurer. We were told that in our junior year we were to earn enough money to provide for the Junior-Senior banquet and also to plan for it. The banquet was a lot of fun. At the start of our junior -year Vauna Morris was missing, and during the year we lost Fonda Lahman and Marvin Dean. This left fourteen students to form our Senior Class Grace Hutton and Marvin Kemper joined our class for their senior year. The class elected boys as officers again. joe Bussone, president, Ike Baysinger, vice president, Bob Sloter as secretary-treasurer. CLASS WILL.
