Senior Class history It was the most eventful year in the long history of L. H. S.! It was the year in which the graduating class of 51 first entered the halls of its dear old Alira Mater. On a bright day in September, 1947, the new freshman class, composed of sixty-five husky boys and girls, started its four-year career in high school. The leaders of the class for the year ’47-'48 were: president, Frank Henderson, Jr; vice-president, George Murry; secre- tary-treasurer, Nina Sue Strack. Jeanne Rector was the student council representative. Nancy Shive was the queen of the F. F. A. Barnwarming and Jeanne Rector was her freshman attendant. Nina Strack was the attendant to the homecoming queen and Jimmy Garner was her escort. Our freshman class was well represented in all phases of extra-curricular activities. After a much needed summer vacation the old freshman class returned to school and donned the title of sophomores. There were fifty-four of us--a little drop in quantity from the previous year, but the quality still remained. The“Big Wheels ’ during that school year were: president, Jimmy Garner; vice-president, Nina Strack; secretary-treasurer, Phyllis Clarke. Jeanne Wood was the student council representative. The outstanding sophomore award went to Frank Henderson, Jr. He made the pilgrimage to Jefferson City on April 1, 1949. At the homecoming game the sophomore attendant to the queen was Dorothy Cable, escorted by Rule Campbell. Nina Strack was the sophomore attendant at the annual F. F. A. Barnwarming and Bill Bass was her escort. The band, glee club, and all the sports had members of the sophomore class as participants and incidentally they all did well for themselves and their school. The junior class of 49-’50 was the smallest in school, and therefore it had to work that much harder to carry the load that is placed upon every junior class. The “Guiding Lights that year were: president, Frank Henderson, Jr.; vice-president, John Shultz; secretary-treasurer, Betty Ann Hudson. Nina Strack was the junior representative to the student council. Frank Henderson, Jr. and Nina Streck were two of the four persons who attended the annual student council convention which was held in Columbia, Missouri. Several boys went out for football and basketball; girls basketball was once again offered to all the energetic ones of the fair sex. There were seven juniors in the band, seven in glee club, two twirlers, and six girls in the pep-squad. Lou Ella Blackwell had the honor of attending the homecoming queen. The barnwarming queen was attended by Kitty Simpson from the junior class. As was the custom, the juniors published the L. H. S. HIGHLIGHTS with Mrs. Lucy English as its sponsor. Frank Henderson was the editor of the HIGHLIGHTS. The junior play, “Uncle Fred Flits By ’ was directed by Mr. William Wool ford. Mrs. Martha Smallwood and Mrs. Helen Hildebrand supervised the “ Junior-Senior Banquet” and used a night club idea as the theme of the banquet. At last--we made it! We were seniors! It was a long hard journey but after climb- ing over the years, the books, and the many tough assignments we finally reached the 16 This page sponsored by Duncan and Jordan.
