VALEDICTORIAN SALUTATORIAN AUDREY M. ANDERSON DONALD R. ANTHONY The valedictorian and salutatorian are chosen on a scholastic basis,in which a certain mark is worth a designated number of points. These points are totaled and this sum is divided by the number of marks the student has received. Therefore the students with the two highest averages are named valedictorian and salutatorian. This year the students receiving this honor are Audrey H. Anderson, daughter of Hrs. Ingrid Andersong and Donald R. Anthony, son of Hr. and Hrs. Perry Anthony.

They picked a learned man to lead them through the work and fun that comprises the senior year--Don Anthony by name, and senior class president and salutatorian hy title. Don really knew his onions, whether it came to leading his class- mates or doing physics experiments, and his love of fun made all these things more play than work, not only for himself but for others too. An athlete-ss , or whatever the feminine -,u,gr-311-L, for athlete is, was voted vice-President of the class. Bobbe lou Cooper is her name and where ! there is a winning team in any girls sports, SECRETARY , CAROL ABRAHAMSON it's 2 to l you'11 find her name there. TPEKSURER - RAY DIBBLE Carol Abrahamsson, secretary of the class, can be seen later on as one of the pin-ups , which puts her in still a different category. Our jovial treasurer is Ray Dibble, whose talents are many. Although he hasn't specialized in anything in particular, Ray has made himself useful all through the years. With these- four people in the lead, and with their individual backgrounds of service, their varied characteristics, and plenty of experience in leadership, we have reason to think that our class can be considered one of the most active of senior classes. One innovation' this year was the most elaborate Homecoming celebration yet, with a queen and court, floats, parade. and lawn decorations. This celebration will be continued each year. As a senior play, the seniors chose a Broadway hit, You Can' t Take It With You, in which the characters of most of the seniorswere perpetuated in their stage roles. College Career Day was begun this year. On April 15, approximately seventeen representa- tives from colleges, universities, beauty schools, and business schools were invited to hold conferences with students from Ludington High, Scottville and Baldwin High Schools. This proved to be a big help to seniors in selecting schools, and will also he an annual event from '- now on. Bearing all these things in mind, we look at other less obvious traces of achievement left by the seniors. Many of them have achieved enviable places in our musical organizations: their status in the Art Department is high. Also in many intangible ways the senior will be missed: the feeling during the first few days of next school year that something is definitely missing . It is with a tinge of regret that we leave, hoping that we can always be proud to say that we were members of the Class of '48 .
