On September ZZ, 1947, Paul Prewitt lost the distinction of being the only senior boy when Willard Roberts entered from Los Angeles, California. The senior class received their announcements on April 7, 1948. The senior class journeyed to Kirksville to the seventh annual Senior Day at the Teacher College. During the day we were entertained by a very in- teresting talk by Mr. Roe Bartle, an attorney from Kansas City. At noon lunch was served to us in the college cafeteria. In the afternoon we were taken on tours of the campus, saw a play in the Little Theater , and danced in the auditorium. Dick J'oh.nson's orchestra played for the dance. We returned home early in the evening after having spent a very enjoyable day at Northeast Missouri State -Teachers College. This trip was made on April 9, 1948. At the beginning of school the junior class had eighteen members. A new student, Louetta Richardson, came to our class from Linneus. During the year we lost two members, leaving us sixteen. The juniors received their class rings in October. They are a combina- tion of rose, yellow, and white gold. We are very proud of them. This year the junior class had a stand at the basketball games. We sold a large quantity of pop and candy to the crowds, and we appreciated their patronage very much. K3 On September 19, the sophomores supervised Freshman Initiation Day. The girls were dressed as boys and the boys as girls. During the day the soph- omores took the freshmen through the streets and displayed them to the public. This incident was very a.musing. That evening a party was given by the soph- omores. Games were played and refreshments of pop, sandwiches, pickles, and cookies were served. A return party was given to the sophomores about a weeklater. Refresh- ments 'of sandwiches, cookies, potato chips, and pop were served. Games were played and everyone enjoyed hirnself very much. At the beginning of school there were thirteen freshmen. Mary Richards on and Betty Sturtevant were the new members in the class. During the year Lena Mae Davolt moved to Meadville, Ronald Ward moved to Chillicothe, and Pat Herron moved to Moberly. This left us with ten students out of the original thirteen. t
