SenioAs Ctass Vis4o-A,y Blower: Arbutus Colors: Blue and White Motto: Nothing is impossible to a willing heart. September, 1944, brought our class to the L. L. Wright High School. Although the first few months of our new experience left us only bewildered, we managed to elect Bobert Janatis president of our freshman class; George Ifclak, vice president; Mary Anderson, secretary; and Bob Larson, treasurer. We accomplished this, our first major achievement, with Miss Janet Beid as the freshman class adviser. Our freshman basketball team looked vory promising, as did those boys who were on the football squad. As sophomores we thought that we were tops. We could laugh at the frosh who wandered into the wrong classes and tried opening his lock convinced that it was his. Miss Ruth Birge assisted us in electing the following 'class officers: Ray Puranen, president; Ray Boszak, vice president; Betty Sweanor, secretary; Duane Smetana, treasurer. Bred Albert gained recognition for being the only sophomore to be elected to the National Athletic Honor Society. He also won the Upper Peninsula Singles Tennis Championship. Ronald Michaelson was the only sophomore who earned his football letter. Relaxed and prepared for a very active year, we entered the school in September, 1946, as the lower-higher classmen. Ronald Michaelson was elected president; Blaine Rowe, vice president; Prances Talaska, secretary; and Betty Sweanor, treasurer. Miss Janet Goudle directed our activities for the year. Blaine Rowe, Prances Talaska, Bldrid HJalmquist, and Pat Kellet were elected to the National Honor Society. The boys chosen for the National Athletic Honor Society were Bred Albert, Arnold Brown, Robert Larson, and Duane Smetana. The prom with the theme of the Rickety Rick Shaw was a great success. Ronald Michaelson and Audree Pickmosa, his queen, presided over the affair. Blaine Rowe wen first place honors in the district extemporaneous speech contest and placed second in the regional forensic meet. At last in the faJ.1 of 1947 we entered the halls of the school as the highly esteemed seniors. We chose the following as our class officers: Hyman Levinstein, president; Blmer Sandene, vice president; IXiane Smetana, secretary; Joe Pavlovich, treasurer. In December the second annual Christmas Formal was held in the Sleight School Gym which was decorated with lighted Christmas trees and had the ceiling covered with stars. Throughout the year we have worked on this 1948 Hematite. In this and other activities Miss Jennie Johnson, class adviser, has worked with us. Now it is spring again. After four years of hopeful anticipation, we shall soon achieve our goal—graduation. But before this memorable day, we can look forward to the senior class play, The Moon Makes Three, which will be presented on May 19 under the direction of Miss Hayek. There are also the class picnic, the baccalaureate services, and then the blue caps and gowns 1
