The class tried repeatedly to get the Prom out of school, but to no avail, as it was held in the gym to close the school year. It was called “The Stardust Prom, quite appropriate in ease you saw the millions of stars and planets all over the auditorium. This ended their last year as underclassmen. This select class has finally reached its goal of being upperclassmen. Miss Macemon served as adviser of the class and Johnny Archambo was elected president. Before we knew it, it was time to hand in our term papers for English. Then the Warriors had an undefeated season in basketball, in the Conference winning all twelve games and placing three players on the All-Conference team. They also won the District title by beating Shakopee and our famed old rival—Park. Then on to the Region— the Warriors beat St. Cloud in the first game and lost a heartbreaking game to Minneapolis Marshall 26-25 in the final game. We had two assembly meetings honoring our gallant band of Warriors. The class of 47 had a veteran in the class in the presence of Warren Schnabel. The chorus festival was held at Hopkins this year, and the senior chorus sang better than ever. The class presented “Rebecca as its class play, under the direction of Mr. Sifferle. And on May 3, the Junior-Senior Prom was held. Then on that great day in May, the 29th, the class of ’47 received its diplomas and thereby ended the four years so well spent at Hopkins High School.
