Class Histor XVE THE SENIOR CLASS of '48 entered Henderson High School in the fall of 1943 one hundred and twenty-eight strong. Wie were known as Neighth graders, and were told not to call ourselves freshmen. We finally, after overcoming our greeness. found our way around and got off to a good start. Nothing much happened our first year, but we were slowly becoming a vital part of H. H. S. Our officers for the first year included: President, Dewey Wfellsg Vice President, Tommy Rose, Secretary, Delores Lord. XVhen we met together in September, 1944, we had finally become full-fiedged freshmenealthough we weren't very fresh in high school. The class consisted of three homerooms which were under the sponsorship of Miss Harkey, Miss Carter, and Miss Bateman. Under the leadership of President, Mary Jane Ballg Vice Presi- dent, Ann Dixon, and Secretary, Becky Mayo, we were beginning to feel that we were now a part of the school. In the fall of 545 we again entered the portals of our dear Alma Mater. We were now only one hundred and thirteen strong. lfVe felt closer together, and we passed successfully through one more year. Twelve of us were selected for waiters and waitresses for the junior-Senior. In 1946, we were Juniors, and it was time for us to begin thinking of giving a junior-Senior Prom of our own. It was a big success, and a good time was had by all at 'fDogwood Manor? Our officers were Thad Goodrich, President, Tommy Rose, Vice President: Shirley Ehret, Secretary, and Sara XVyche, Treasurer. Our play, 'QA date with Judy was also a big success. Then our class rings finally arrived and caused much excitement in the halls of H. H. S. Of course they were the most beautiful ever made. In the spring Dewey Wells was elected from our class as Presi- dent of the Student Body. Now the time had finally come to which we had really looked forward. We were Seniors and were beginning to realize that after june we would never be together again as a class. Our Hsteering committee for our last year in H. H. S. was President, Harold House, Vice President, Bozo Roberson, Secretary, Delores Lordg and Treasurer. Tommy Rose. Many events happened during this year, our class play, our trip to Wlashington, the Junior-Senior given in our honor, and other Senior parties. Also we selected the superlatives from our class. Now our graduation day is near at hand, and we are preparing for our future years. Eighty-eight strong, we will always have a warm and tender feeling toward our dear Alma Mater, where we spent a vital part of our lives. ANN DIXON, Historian 18
