These officers form a portion of the Student Council which has been active in sponsoring school dances at various times throughout the year. Merrill Henderson was elected the class president, junior Barnes the vice- president and Betty Duncan the secretary-treasurer. The senior party was one of the highlights of the year with most of the class in attendance. The poses struck by Miss Berry and Mr. Lankford during a certain game will not soon be forgotten. Beverly Jordan received the D. A. R. Citizenship Award by vote of the senior class. She will compete with other students from Missouri for a pilgrimage to Washington, D. C. Beverly also represents the class among the cheerleaders. The 1947 Alamo 15
