ena o a Pet ecf 3m, OAOk SENIOR MELODIES September, 1943, saw us eager tho' tempt- ing to accustom ourselves to the very comptiv catedl rigorous training program called high school. We soon acquired a super abundance of selt-assurance and delusions of dignity and mental profundity; however, it has been pro- pounded that our pride was based more on our quantity, which placed us-in three home rooms, rather than upon our quality. Be that as it may, we were plagued by the custom- ary freshman schedule mixups, and we often committed the usual humiliating blunders. Our selfaassurance diminished considerably during the hectically memorable initiation Which included a Hdoq and master parade, the canines, of course, being portrayed by our male class-members. Then, too, there were the mixed-up shoes, the excitement of the furious football game, and a gala hot-doq feast. In the fall of 1944, we reunited and found that we fitted not too uncomfortably into just two home rooms. Our selt-assurance was in- finitely quieter in nature, and much better founded. Now we sophisticated sophomores were the tyrants in this business of initiation, and wreaked vengenance on that year's group of innocent, defenseless freshmen. We made great histrionic progress that year, with a presentation of Silas Marner and the hilari- ous dramatization of I Can't Do the Sum , from Victor Herbert's Babes in Toyland . Our Junior year witnessed a capably effici- ent, live-wire group emitting an air of super salesmanship, vigorous planning! and a good- ly portion of scholastic effort. With the intro- duction of scholarship pins, many of the class ranked high enough for those coveted awards of merit. We had a wonderful time taking part in the Showboat Minstrels , both in the play and in the minstrel parts, Those blacke faced slapstick comedians created a minor riot, and the play and musical acts were im- mensely enjoyed. Spring saw music depart- ment members scurrying to and fro with plans for the very successful spring concert in which they participated. And theneAh! the real work! The hours of planning . . . cutting . . . pasting . . . hauling . . . buying . . . fixing. That air of secrecy . . . the climbing on tables . . . bringing in plate glass and a stuffed polar bear-and at last it came. We were the hapA piest juniors ever as we presented the glori- ous Penguin Promenade banquet and prom for the 46 seniors! Fall, 1946etime marches on and so do we. , And joined with us are, besides several other new members whom we heartily welcome ah! Four honest-to-good World War II veter- ans! Now many of us are in the exclusively senior Knickerbocker society, which has afe forded keen enjoyment. Much of our fun in- volved a January style show, in which our men modeled very feminine bathing suits, a bridal outfit, a glamorous, frilly pink negli- gee, sportswear, evening, business, and casu- al wear. During the past four years, many of the Seniors of '47 have been active in choir, band, Latin and Spanish clubs, Triple Trio, Girls' Chorus, scholarship teams, Tiger's Tongue staff, Annual staff, and many other activities. Others have happily participated in sports such as volleyball, track, baseball, basketball, and football, inspired by energetic cheerlead- ers and skillful majorettes. As we mentally review tour well-spent years at Loveland Hi, we see the glorious evo- lution we have undergone, from self-con- scious freshmen to well-prepared seniors. It is with infinite hope that we anticipate college or early business careers! and lives of good hard work and well-eamed satisfaction.
