SENIOR CLASS HISTORY The big event of the year was the ordering and receiving of our class rings. We were so proud! We held our class party, “Winter Wonderland,” on January 24. For our class play, “Don’t Take My Penny,” held on April 24 and 25 we received much praise. The Junior-Senior Prom was the last big event. As vacation came to a close, we began our final year of high school on September 2, 1947. For this year we needed capable, hard-working officers, and the officers elected were: President.........................Thomas Shaffer Vice-President.................... Donald Weaver Secretary.........................Betty Ann King Treasurer.........................Marianne Boyd Since our party was held the first of the year, we appointed committees immediately. It was called “Harvest Moon” and held on October 17, 1947. This went over big, and a good time was had by all. As the last of our dramatic ventures, we produced the play, “We Shook the Family Tree,” on November 20 and 21. It proved to be one of the best plays put on at Mercer High School. With graduation approaching, we realize that there are many memories never to be forgotten. We have received the foundation for our future lives, and we hope that the class of ’48 will long be remembered. —Shirley Callahan.
