This was to be the senior class of 1948. Class officers were elected during the first week of school. They were: Iames Kucfienski president, Lois Benson vice rresizlent, Maxine Broderick secretary and treasurer, Duane Meuli Student Council representative, and Miss Marjorie Troop cdviser. Qn September l4 and 15 the sophomores initiated us. They gave an initiation party for us, which we didn't ex- actly enjoy, on September 22. Then in April we returned their party. December l marked the date of the Hum- Eug Circus with Barbara Hickey running cs the Freshman candidate for Queen. Early in the spring we took the traditional like up the hill to whitewash the In the Bed Cross campaign our class raised more money than any of the other classes. Sophomore Year Qf the 36 students who started, only 32 remained to begin the sophomore year. Those who quit were Teddy Mee, Gwen- dolyn Mee, Vic Smith and Earl Fortine. By this time we had become accustomed to the activities of the school. As the sec- ond week oi school rolled along, we elected George Drake president, Dorothy johnson vice president, Lois Benson secretary and treasurer ,and Duane Meuli Student Coune cil representative. The first semester Mrs. Frank Dierman was our adviser but as she did not teach during the second semester, Mrs. A. S. Erickson was elected. Qn September 25, we gave the freshmen an initiation party. ln the middle of the term seven students dropped out, cutting our class down to 25. Qur sophomore year ended with our class picnic at Tetrault Lake. Iunior Year As our Iunior year began, we were all much accustomed to the school and felt proud to be juniors. We showed our talents to the world by the production of our play Aunt Cathy's Cat. The play was pre' sented in November and grossed about 318500. Qur junior class officers were: Pres- ident Bobert McKenzie, Vice President Ar- thur Purdy, Secretary Lois Benson, Treas- urer Dorothy johnson, Student Council rep- resentative Duane Meuli, and Class Adviser Mrs. C. E. Willey. March 29 we held a dance at the Com- munity Hall. We made a profit of about 5105. At last came the big activity ot the year-the Iunior Prom and banquet. We decorated the gym in rose and white with The Boseroomu as our theme. New students were Sherry Eberth and Dorothy Bragg. Qur enrollment was 24. Qn May 20 the seniors, in return for the prom and banquet, gave us a picnic at Tetrault Lake. ttfsntinued on Page -i'9t This Page Sponsored by MAIESTIC THEATRE Page 13

lP'lROlP'lHIlECCY The great Sahara stretches out before me, miles and miles of nothing but sand. Water, water--I must have water. l feel as though I cannot drag myself another foot, but I must keep going. lf l don't, the buzzards will swoop down upon me, and there will be nothing left of me but a little spot of-water. Ah, if only my old friends from LCHS were herwthey would help me. Trusty Tom Ambrose, or Mr. Boslaugh-yes, if Mr. Boslaugh were here, he'd say, Get on your feet, you lazy bum! And l would rise to my feet, and Mr. Boslaugh would give me a drink of water-salt water. But wait! ls that a figure in the distance? I raise my weary head and watch the moving object. He is coming into view better now. He is carrying something! A bucket! Water! lt's water! I knew my friends wouldn't forget me-they are send- ing me water. As the figure comes closer, I discover it is Art Purdy, who, after I had recuperated a little, told me that he had been promoted to the position of water boy for USC foot- ball team. Good old Art, l always knew he'd get ahead. He also told me that: Tom Ambrose is now head usher and ticket-taker at the Majestic Theatre.
