H. S. one September day of 1947—a group of fifty-eight frantic freshmen. Our curriculum sheets were tattered from much handling that first week. We made our first public appearance at a junior high initiation party. SOPHOMORE President—Zane Fraker Secretary—Lavonne Cline Vice-President—Jack Fields Treasurer Robert Akers At this point in our history we encountered the harrowing experience of initia- tion ceremonies. Our most successful undertaking as sophomores proved to be the Saturday night record dances. JUNIOR President—Zane Fraker Secretary—Mona Humbert Vice-President—Jack Fields Treasurer—Robert Akers And jolly juniors we were. Thirty-four of us had survived the difficult problems of high school life. Two major events of this year were the St. Patrick’s Dance and the Prom with a banquet honoring the seniors. SENIOR President—Zane Fraker Secretary—Mona Humbert Vice-President—Earl Mellott Treasurer Robert Akers The first task of this year was the publishing of STUDENT FLASHES. This final year meant projects of a financial nature—our play and our yearbook. As FLASH LITES is being published, we are completing plans for the senior trip to New York and the commencement program.
