The following officers were elected: President----------------Verle Fogle Vice-Pres.--------------------Ramona Lolling Secretary--------------------Phillip Ballard Treasurer--------------------Raegene Garner Student Council-------Kenneth Lovell Betty Croft The beaming faces of our 17 class members were photographed on September 22, and all the pic- tures turned out exceptionally well. On Friday, November 5, our play cast defied all superstition by presenting That’s the Ticket. Early in November, Lyle Hundertmark left school to enter the Navy, thus Lyle is not actually a mem- ber of the graduating class. Good Luck, Lyle. When the issue of graduation attire came be- fore the class, the decision was unanimous in favor or royal blue caps and gowns. Everyone of us is looking forward, perhaps re- gretfully, to Commencement Night, when we shallbe given the honorary certificate awarded every High School Graduate.
