Senior Officers Don Carollo, Secretary: Estelle Shepherd, Vice Presidentg Ray Darin, Treasurerg jerry Norton, President. School Days, School Days . . Last fall found many of our seniors hum- ming This ls the Beginning of the End, and memories of that fine September day in 1944 when one hundred and f ifty-five Small Fry began their high school careers were revived. A mock convention in which Presi- dent Roosevelt was elected for the fourth term highlighted the activities of that year. In local elections Tad LaBahn led the ticket as president with Don Waldvogel as vice president. Patsy Pickett as treasurer and Don l-luising as secretary assisted them cap- ably. Another year and we were grown-up soph- omores. With our fingers in a few more ac- tivities we survived the growing pains of this difficult year to emerge as important upper-classmen. President Ben Shulla, Vice President Clarice Reed, Secretary Robert Nordenberg, and Treasurer Ray Darin were our officers. Local audiences roared at our junior play, A Date With Iudy. And the seniors were the first to admit that our Mystic Moon Prom was the tops. President Don Huising, Vice President Carl Muehlbauer, Secretary Don Waldvogel, and Treasurer Thomas Fla- vin saw to it that the luniors were not un- known. This was the year we selected our class rings. We finally made it. September l947 and we were seniors. With poise and efficiency we accepted the responsibilities of our new role. The Times and The Lock received our best efforts and contributions. We danced at the Iunior Red Cross formal and reminisced with the juniors at the Meme ories Prom. We played hard at our class picnic at Pottawatomie Park in St. Charles. We sang from our hearts in the operetta ln Grand Old Switzerland. With the strains of lune Comes Around Every Year we realized that for many of us our school days were no more. President Ierry Norton, Vice President Es- telle Shepherd, Secretary Don Carollo, and Treasurer Ray Darin spun the records for our graduating class, and as we listened to the familiar strains drifting from the luke box, memories of our past years added a little sadness at the thought of leaving. As the strains of Pomp and Circumstanceu filled the gymnasium, the last record of four suc- cessful high school years was added to the class album of 1948.
