...,,,w1.wmuK'SS Mr. john H. Link and Miss Mildred Avelinc, class sponsors The junior class usually has to follow a middle road policy during its school year for its members are neither new nor old to high school life. However, the class of '47 has shown a great interest and has had an active part in Marion High School affairs. The juniors chose as their oiiicers for the year Robert McCafferty, president, JoAnn Jones, vice-president, Donna Crisler, secre- tary, and Mary Wall, treasurer. With the aid of their sponsors, Miss Mildred Aveline and Mr. John Link, this class planned and participated in many enjoyable activities throughout the school year. The juniors sponsored an all-school dance at the Y. M. C. A. building after the Mar- ion-Tech basketball game February 8. Those who attended the dance went home with memories of a well-spent evening. As a novelty attraction, pins were sold with the initials MHS engraved against a background of purple and gold, the school colors. Next came the big event of a junior's life-the Junior Prom. This was given on May Z4 at the Coliseum with a large number of stu- dents attending. ff,- fs X , I, ,H f X 7 W I fl 1 gl vi, Ja.. 1, Jo Ann Jones, vice president Donna Crisler, treasurer Mary Wall, secretary Robert McCafJferty, president 22

Much to their astonishment they were treated, not as the superior beings which they felt themselves to be as fresh- men in Junior High, but as lowly sopho- mores. They soon held an election and vot- ed Robert Montgomery, president, William Anderson, vice-president, Barbara Stirnit- zke,,treasurer, and George Osborn, secre- tary. The activities of the second year were carried out under the able direction of Kenneth Manwell, president, Richard Sis- son, vice-president, Bonnie Williams, secre- tary, and Helen Winters, treasurer. The class took increasing interest in school ac- tivities, preparing to assume the responsi- bilities of seniors. Then the year of triumph came-the year of being upperclassmen. Through the leadership of Jack Pitcher, president, Betty Williams, vice-president, jackie Saunders, secretary, and Joanne Robb, Treasurer, many activities were planned. Miss Ethel Renbarger and Miss Marjorie Connelly, class sponsors, aided the oflicers in their duties. A chile supper Was sponsored in January, for which Shirley Crisler and Cardinal Hartley served as co-chairman. A dance at the Y. M. C. A. was held after the Kokomo basketball game. The Big Top Bounce, for which Jackie Saunders and Joanne Robb were chairman, was held early in April. These Seniors have taken part in the Cactus Frolic, aided in publishing the Sur- vey, and have chosen a capable person as editor of their yearbook. Senior boys have taken an active part in athletics, and the entire class rallied to support them. These Seniors feel that they have justly contribut- ed to the school by frequently participating in school activities.
