Something new had been added! In fact, several things. In the sports field, the girls' basketball team was bom, with six Juniors on the team which was coached by Miss Hofrieter. Five Juniors lettered in this sport: Sue Burbridge, Marilyn Mcllroy, Eulalie Haley, Carol Cunningham, and Peggy Gamer. Seven boys wore L H. S. colors for the Juniors in boys' basketball, and seventeen did likewise in football, an addition of nine lettermen. This was under the coaching of Mr. Wirt Fowler, our new and popular coach. A pep squad was also organized, with fifteen Junior members. The music department, too, made an outstanding record, taking a II rating at the Louisiana Vocal Festival, in which eleven members of our class sang with the mixed chorus, and the ever popular band boasted nine members of our class, including Sue Burbridge as a majorette and Carol Cunningham as Drum Major. The glee club, too, had five Juniors in boys' glee club and eighteen in girls’ glee club. Will you ever forget the ice storm when much to the dismay of the students, school was dismissed for a few days? Or such sayings as were heard in the halls, as ' Sing 'em, or Bill Guengerich's ever popular Who pulled your chain? Well, we made it! After three full years of heartaches and happiness that comes with higher education, we finally entered the last lap—we, sixty Seniors, one of the largest graduating classes in the history of The Louisiana High School, are grateful that we have been able to follow the rapid growth of our Alma Mater—the new little gym,” the new faculty members, the pep squad, girls' basketball, and the biggest thrill of all—seeing the Bulldogs win the 1949 Quint City Football Championship, navigated by Coach Fowler. Thirteen Seniors were among the Champs. Seven girls from the class were on the girls' basketball team, and six boys supported the male side of the sport. Jo Ann Hughart was chosen Homecoming Queen of 1949, with Ann Batchelder as her attendant. Ann was escorted by Mackey Dee Love. Ann also attended the 1949 Bam warming Queen and chose as her escort. Gene Murry. Our officers for the final round were: President: Gene Murry; and Vice-President: Mackey Dee Love; Secretary-Treasurer: Marilyn Mcllroy; and Student Council Representatives: Betty Jo Creamer and Gene Murry. John Crisan was elected to the position of Student Body President, with Bill Guenge-rich as Vice-President, and Jo Ann Wurtz as Secretary-Treasurer. We were sponsored by Mrs. Lucy English and, for the fourth year, Miss Hofrieter. Our band made continued progress, attending 'Band Day at Missouri University and the Northeast Missouri Band Conference at Hannibal. The purchase of new red and gray uniforms, made possible by the contributions from Louisiana citizens, added the final touch! Eight members constituted our share of the band. The pep squad ’ :sted fifteen members. Peggy Garner shoulae: d the task of editing the yearbook this year, with twelve Seniors on the staff. Handsome Harry Elliott was elected President of the L Club, being ably assisted by Meade Speedy Spears as Vice-President, and Kenny Marsh as Secretary-Treasurer. Now you know the secret of the L Club's success! As these memoirs go to press, exciting plans are forming in the back of our dignified minds. We think of the anticipated production of our Senior Play and of our final farewell, the Senior Farewell Dance, and Commencement. Our high school ambitions are climaxed in the realization that we have shared in the olympiad of years which will long be remembered as one of the greatest in the history of Louisiana High School 18
