SENIOR CLASS Louisiana High School was practically dwindling away when we arrived in the fall of '46—adding to the agenda, seventy-one new faces, the largest Freshman class for many years at L. H. S. This was the first year of the Juniors' protege, our newspaper, the L. H. S. Highlights, and the first and last operetta Rio Rico , under the direction of Mrs. Mildred Bums. Twenty Freshmen were in the cast, five of whom were in the ltet of individual characters: Meade Spears, Marilyn Mcllroy, Carol Cunningham, Kenny Marsh, and Paul Burks. The Bulldogs, coached by Mr. Eugene Grant, also took the sub-regional basketball trophy, with four Freshmen boys on the team: Bill Guengerich, Kenny Marsh, Herman Thomas, and Meade Spears. In football, too, we were proud of our boys, with Harry Elliott and Gene Murry lettering. That year we prided ourselves in our popular members, three of whom won outstanding honors: Donna Kilby was elected annual Bamwarming Queen, with Peggy Dell Fry as Freshman attendant. Pete was also attendant to the 1946 Football Queen with Mackey Dee Love as her escort. Our officers for 1946-47 were: John Crisan, President; Bill Guengerich, Vice-President; Beverly Brown, Secretary-Treasurer. The class was sponsored by a newcomer to the L H. S. faculty, Miss Mae Hofrieter. In the music field, we had three members in the Drum and Bugle Corps, three majorettes in the band, and twelve band members. We returned en masse as Sophomores in 1947 and school began in full swing, with our membership still climbing—we now boasted seventy-two! We were fortunate in having Miss Mae Hofrieter as our faithful sponsor once again. Our Big Bosses for this year were: President: Gene Murry; Vice-President: Peggy Dell Fry; Secretary-Treasurer: Ruth Ann Paschal. We claimed seventeen band members, three of these being twirlers, and Carol Cunningham as majorette of the Drum and Bugle Corps. This was the first year of the Student Council, and Jo Ann Hughart and Gene Murry were the Sophomore Representatives. Special honors went to Bill Guengerich for being chosen the outstanding Sophomore of the year; to Peggy Gamer as Sophomore Bamwarming attendant; to Jo Ann Hughart as Sophomore attendant to the Football Queen with Kenny Marsh as her escort. In the sports field, the Sophomores played an active part. Gene Murry and Harry Elliott earned their second letter in football, witth Bill Guengerich, Harold Elliott, Joe Penrod, and Meade Spears receiving their first letter in that sport. Three boys made the team in basketball. It would be difficult to pick the highlights of our wonderful Junior year. With a total of seventy-four students, the year began with a bang! Our guiding hands for the year were: Bill Guengerich, President; Bill Donath, Vice-President; Jane Turnbull, Secretary-Treasurer; with Sue Burbridge and Bill Guengerich, Student Council Representatives. We were guided by our ever-devoted Miss Hofrieter, who produced Spring Fever, our Junior Play, and Mrs. Claude Smallwood, to whom much of the credit is due for a very successful banquet and prom entitled Neptune's Kingdom. Carol Cunningham began her journalistic career at L. H. S. as Editor of the Highlights with three members of the class contributing to the production of the yearbook: Assistant Editor: Peggy Gamer; Assistant Business Manager: Bill Guengerich; and Junior Editor: Beverly Brown. Sue Burbridge was elected Junior attendant to the Homecoming Queen and was escorted by John Crisan. Jane Turnbull also received the honors of being Junior attendant to the Bamwarming Queen and was a cheerleader. 17
