From the very beginning our class has been successful in all its undertakings, and this year has been no exception. The Hallowe’en Dance, v ith its witches and goblins, and the Mistletoe Dance, with REAL mistle- toe, were highly successllil, both socially and financially. During our moments of relaxation we have been busy selling magazine subscriptions and Christmas cards. Y:e also had several after-game dances and sold hot- dogs at football games. Our greatest events of this year have been the Senior Class Play, The Mad March Heirs , directed by Miss Purdy, Mrs. Wiltse and Mr. Pfingst, this being followed by our annual Carnival with all its rollicking merriment. The cast, directors, and student directors were invited to present the play to entertain the Detroit Edison Company men at their banquet in Port Huron This performance has added new laurels to our class. Through the four years of high school, we have had many outstanding athletes in such sports as football, basketball, and track Those who have earned letters are r Ralph Mocock, Edward VanZandt, James McKay, Harold Basney, Charles Anderson, Harvey Booth, James Galvin, Jack Arnold, and Willi an DeShon The cheerleaders representing the Seniors are Bernadette McDonald and Alvin Goulette, both having earned letters also Our choice of class colors : maroon and white. Our flower: the white rose. Although we are graduating from high school, we are all seek- ing new fields to conquer. Most of the boys will enter the Service and possibly a few of the girls. Our selection as a class motto is clearly understood and appropriate - Not finished, just beginning .

New rules and regulations always prove to be confusing but were made clear by our ever helpful advisors. Our class officers were: President Pat Byrne Vice President Marion Densmore Secretary Herbert Robb Treasurer Jack Arnold Student Council Shirley Wood In our Sophomore year we were looking into the future and starting to work and plan for the day we were to be SENIORS. That year we gave several dances, with our Victory Dance celebrating the defeat of the St. Clair team in a county football game. Our first bake sales were also given during the year and proved to be quite successful. Those who led our class were: President Vice President Secretary Treasurer Student Council Clinton Shaw Shirley Wood Tom Corden James McKay Shirley Hart Soon came our Junior year with activities planned and running along smoothly. Then came the fatal December seventh! This caused a great change in our classes and social schedule. There was considerable debating about the annual J-Hop, which was finally given with grand re- sults, both socially and financially. Our year was made complete by giv- ing the Junior-Senior Banquet and Prom. Officers elected to head the class for that year were: President Vice President Secretary Treasurer Student Council Tom Corden Bob Cooper Marlon Densmore Loren Feagan Our Senior year at last! I! - and the year for which our class had anxiously awaited. We elected our officers at the close of our Junior year, so that we could get started toward earning funds for the many Senior activities scheduled, especially our Senior trip. The officers elected were: President Vice President Secretary Treasurer Student Council Jean DeLisle James Galvin Shirley Hart Ralph Mocock Mary Sue V esbrook 13
