SENIOR CLASS HIS TOR Y The Senior Class of 1947 started its long climb up the ladder of education twelve years ago in September of 1935 when they entered the primary room, under the direction of Miss Carrington. Since then several new members have come in and many have withdrawn from the class. Of the thirty- four who started twenty-two now hold the title of Senior. The freshman year was especially enjoyable because of the success of our high school basketball team which went to the final game in the Sectional. Marka Jo Richardson was one of the yell leaders for that year. The class offi- cers for the year were as follows: President, Joe Harrison: Vice President, Patty Cooke: Secretary, Norma Jean LaPrees: and Treasurer, Rosemary Murphy. During the eight months of the school year the freshmen held two class parties at the high school. Our Sophomore Class was decreased by three members dur ing this year. Mrs. Yocum was selected as the sponsor. Our class enjoyed one party during the first semester of that year. Marka Jo Richardson was again elected one of the high school basketball yell leaders. The class officers for the year were as follows: President, Joe Harrison: Vice Presi- dent, Patty Cooke: Secretary, Norma Jean LaPrees: and Treas- urer, Rosemary Murphy. The junior year was the high-light of the entire ten years. The class officers for the years were as follows: President, Joe Harrison: Vice President, Patty Cooke: Secre- tary, Norma Jean LaPrees: and Treasurer, Rosemary Murphy, Mr. J.C. Walbring was chosen as the class sponsor. The class spent the year making money for the Junior and Senior Prom to be held in the spring. Money was obtained by sell- J ing of pop, ice cream, popcorn, pins, and chances on a cake. Several members of the class put on the play, Aunt Tillie Goes to Town the funds of which also went for the Prom. April 17th was the date set by the Juniors for the big event. Several members of the class spent three days decorating the gym in gay colors of red and white, which are also the school colors. In order to make it more attractive the crepe paper was twisted in a barber pole manner. Other decorations con- sisted of colorful Japanese lanterns and balloons were tied in bunches at the ceiling. During the evening these balloons were dropped in order that everyone could have a souvenir. This Prom was considered the best Mecca students ever pre- sented, The yell leaders for the year were Patty Cooke, Norma Jean LaPrees, and Madonna Carroll, all of the Junior Class.
