The reigns of the Class of 1947 were placed in the very capable hands of our selected officers. Several informal dances and a roller skating party highlighted the social affairs for that year. A few members of our class became associated with Lackawannan Staff. They developed talents which would aid them the following year in editing that publication. At last the day arrived that we had all been looking forward to-the Junior Prom. The decorations, refreshments and music were all perfect due to the efforts of our committee. Everyone agreed that this prom was one of the best ever held at Lackawanna High We took active interest in the seniors graduation and Class Day. This brought to our minds the fact that we too would be seniors in the not too distant future. Impatiently we whiled away the long summer vacation. Finally our dreams were fulfilled, and we became majestic seniors at last. ' Our first task was the election of Senior Oflicers and the selection of a class ring. The Hallo- we'en Party gave us the opportunity to make many lasting friendships. The next activity was the presentation of the annual Christmas Play-the simple tradition of the nativity. Some Seniors ob- tained parts while others helped with the numerous backstage tasks. Extra-curricular activities were sup- pressed during the mid-term examinations. The next Senior project was the sale of magazine subscriptions to the public. This undertaking was a marvelous success for the class treasury re- ceived over one thousand, one hundred dollars. This new method of raising funds set a precedent for other classes to follow. As spring approached the seniors turned their undivided attention to the staging of a Spring Play. This year's production, Adam's Evening, had nine talented and cooperative seniors available for the cast. There was no doubt that this was one of the best comedies presented at Lackawanna High School. The gift of our class was presented, and a tree was planted as a part of the Class Day exercises. We were thrilled by the fun and frolic of the Senior Prom held at the Hotel Lafayette. Solemnly we walked up the aisle to receive our diplomas. At last we were graduating! We will always hold dear to our hearts the memory of Lackawanna High School, our beloved Alma Mater. With our triumphant departure into the world, we will always strive to bring honor and glory to our high school. VIRGINIA MARY CAMPBELL Senior Committee in charge of Magazine Campaign Row I.

Class Will Due to a lightness in the head, caused by a gradual swelling over a period of four years, and a heaviness in our hearts, caused by thoughts of parting, we, the class of '47, bequeath to you our most cherished possessions in the sincere hope that you do not think us generous only because we cannot keep them. To the faculty for their kindliness, help and encouragement, we leave a feeling of duty well- accomplished, a richly deserved vacation and, of course, another raise. To the following individuals who, we think, will benefit by our generosity, we make the following bequeaths: '- Our most prized possession, our masteredEnglish, to Mr. Shea and Mr. Carney. fMay our superb work cheer you in your coming years., .
