SCENE FROM JUNIOR-SENIOR PROM. 1947 CLASS RICH IN HISTORICAL LORE On A bright day in September, 1944,164 freshman gathered in the Junior High assembly to begin their four high school years together. After Mrs. Guernsey assigned us our assembly seats, with some confusion, we all settled down for nine months of work and fun. Chuck Jurisch was elected our president for the first of his four successful terms in that office. We had “The Black Arrow” in English that year, which everyone immediately connects with Mrs. Frederickson, our freshman English teacher. The year ended with the annual picnic at Excelsior. Even though it rained that day, we all had a gay time because we were lcx king forward to the day when we would finally enter the senior high. «; • « ».• After three months of vacation fun, we were ready, all 153 of us, to make our long-awaited debut in the Senior High building. It was hard to get used to the idea that we were now underclassmen, even if we were the largest class in the school. We managed to live through our sophomore year, gradually getting our confidence in upperclassmen restored. “Juniors and seniors aren’t so bad,” we thought. “After all, we’re going to he juniors ourselves next year.” With that thought in mind, we had our sophomore class party in the Senior High building, with Chuck Jurisch presiding. After the party we all went home to dream of our junior days at Hopkins High. Our junior year was shortened a hit because of the polio outbreak, but the two weeks we missed were made up by shortening vacations and “studying harder.” We came to school that year with 133 students, our number going down gradually. But our junior year was really something to remember. Chuck Jurisch was elected president for his third term. Hopkins was host to several school choruses and Nobel Cain, composer and arranger was guest conducter. We gave our first class play, “Spring Fever”, directed by Mrs. Nelson. We also gave a short historical play to raise funds for our prom. Ah yes, the prom! We decided on the theme “Rhapsody in Blue” and also decided to reinstate the banquet. And this was our last year of being underclassmen. We were then ready to take on the responsibilities of seniors. We are now down to 120 students, hut still the largest resident class to ever graduate from Ye Olde Hopkins Highe. We, the upperclassmen, again elected Charles Jurisch for our president, the job he filled so well in the three previous years. The Student Council adopted a school in France and published a handlxxik for new students. Our basketball team was better than ever, winning the Conference and District and going to the stale tournament, where they were inched out in the finals by Be-miilji. The senior class play, “Love Rides the Rails”, directed by Mr. Sifferle, was a great success. Mr. (Jeer, principal, and Miss Macemon, advisor, were efficient and understanding in their advisory duties. And the ”Moon Mist , junior-senior prom, May 8, was something we will all remember. Finally the big day came. It was the day we had all waited for but dreaded to see. Our high schcx)l days were over. And so on June 1, we, the class of ’48, graduated from our favorite High School— Hopkins.
