SENIOR CLASS HISTORY We, the graduates of 1949, leave behind us a few pleasant memories, and among these are joy and laughter to fill our many hearts. We were the largest group to enter high school, that year of '45, with an enrollment of 81 very green students. Jolts and jostling were bravely taken by our weary souls, but we managed to come out on top—buying the most SAC tickets to be sold that beginning year of our newly organized Council, and haying the most students on the honor roll. Class elections were held under the supervision of Mrs. Soulsby, our class advisor, and those officers elected were: Jim Phillips, President; Wayne Hageman, Vice President; Billie Lou Bartley, Secretary; Richard Nelson, Treasurer; John Goo-denbour, SAC Representative. Wayne Hageman and Dorothy Stroh were our candidates for the Laurel Leaves Contest. As Sophomores, we remained the largest class and, of course, had to start something new, so we ordered our class rings which we received at the beginning of our Junior year. We had very little to do that year but our class officers, as well as our class sponsor, Miss McDermott—were kept busy. Those elected were: Billie Lou Bartley, President: Bill Smith, Vice-President; Janie Lockwood, Secretary-Treasurer; Laurel Stenersen, SAC Representative. Nancy Purchase and Ralph Hodges were nominated as our candidates for the Laurel Leaves Contest. As it was the first year of the Carnival, we nominated Nancy Purchase to repre.ent our class in the contest of Carnival Queen. Yes, we were Juniors (upper classmen) at lastL What a busy year with responsibilities with the concessions for all football and basketball games, as well as the Junior-Senior Prom and Banquet. Due to the fact that there are several talented and hard-working students in our class, we were able to put on a wonderful program for our fellow students. Our theme was an Hawaiian Cruise and it was carried by everything from port-holes to the gaily decorated tables and then to the ocean-side where beautiful Hawaiian dancers swayed in rhythm to the beating of the tom-toms. As our Carnival Queen we chose Eleanor Mossman, who succeeded in being crowned Queen. Dorothy Stroh and Jim Phillips were nominated as our Laurel Leaves King and Queen. Weary, but dutiful, class officers were: Bill Smith, President: Janie Lock-wood, Vice President: Laurel Stenerseh, Secretary: Joyce Bradford, Treasurer, Billie Lou Bartley and Jim Phillips, SAC Representatives. This year we had Miss Helen Kamerzell as our very capable class sponsor. This same year, we presented a play, under the direction of Miss llene Avery, called Home Sweet Homicide'' which was filled with many crazy incidents—even back stage where our comedian, Don Herriot was fed a sandwich spiced with red pepper and Nancy Purchase, in turn, was given a coke jinxed with a few aspirins. But the show must go on and it did with our spiced comedian stealing the show! As Seniors we worked hard on our new annual with Billie Lou Bartley and John Goodenbour acting as co-editors and Miss Kamerzell, our class sponsor, as advisor. Our class officers were: Janie Lockwood, President; Tom Bennett, Vice-President; Betty Marshall, Secretary: Rosemary Sparlin, Treasurer; Bill Smith and Don Brohaugh, SAC Representatives. Laurel Stenersen was our candidate for Carnival Queen. After a very extensive campaign, Richard Nelson and Billie Lou Bartley were crowned King and Queen of the Laurel Leaves. Seniors, yes, but we are aged and strained ones. After four hectic years of struggle, we are entering an even more intense strain of responsibility and unfailing hope as to our still undecided futures. We must be prepared for almost anything to come and we are going to be, with the aid of many faithful teachers and parents.
