PRESIDENTS WILLIAM WHITE Varsity Club 1,2, 3, 4 Football 2 Track 1,2 An island of good fellow- ship surrounded by a sea of dignified reserve. ADDR ESS On this the completion of the first important lap of our young lives the class of nineteen hundred and forty seven wishes to extend a cordial welcome to you, our parents, teachers, and friends. This class was marked at an early date as one which accomplisned that which it set about to do and continually held high this goal up to the present day. . . y e were not quite as prominent in athletics as our predecessors, but our athletes tried. We are just as proud of them as if they had been the county champions for their determination was so great that it out-shone any blunders they may have made. Their competitors realized this and when the election of the all county teams came about these teams placed three of our boys: Dick Nichols, Bob McCollister, and Don Bantien on the all county football team. McCollister also made the all Comity First Five in basket- ball. , , Undoubtedly there was someone behind these boys who taught and under- stood them. This person was Coach Robert Dresser and we extend many thanks to him. , , ,, ,,, We find that co-operation was the key note to successful class activities and to the preservation of the many traditions of our High School. Each person had something to offer to his class and took pride in the achieve- ments made by these efforts. That is why we are gathered here today in the first terminal point of the modern life. In reminiscing over our ' past years of class activities we Seniors ' minds will always linger at such high spots as our arrival of the Coronation Dance and the gay J-Hop with its Circus theme, the Junior-Senior banquet with Linus Liebaert as toastmaster, and the Prom which followed brought an evening of pleasure long to be remembered. Our fine inspiring carnival and the exciting Mistletoe Dance with Dick Nichols and Martha Cohrs being chosen as the most popular boy and girl in school brough a great deal of pleasure to all. The climax of the year came with the Senior Play, tactfully and skillfully directed by Mrs. Fullwood and Mr. Pfingst without whom its production would not have been possible, and the Senior trip, ..e have chosen for our motto, Let the ropes of the past ring the bells of the future. May it be true that our ropes of learning may pull us ahead in the future and each of this class find his goal and achievements, for truly these years spent in eruditio n have taught us more than mere schooling can for we have found the intangible values in those things which only come through co-operation, understanding, and determination. Upon leaving our High School, we want to thank you, our parents, teachers and friends, and especially our sponsors, Mr. Pfingst and Mrs. Fullwood, for your kindness and guidance to the class of 47 and to wish you all the success in the world. Harold Langell, President
