“GLASS OF 1947 HISTORY” It all started with a group of innocent young children in a brave battle against the Essentials of Algebra. The leader of the battle was Fred Titley; Sergeant, Arthur Hollingshead ; General’s Aide, Patricia Foust; Finance Officer, Patty Yager; since Patty Yager was transferred to a different regiment, Sonia NcNair took over as Finance Officer; Mes- senger, Jack Frazure. Under the competent guidance of the General’s Counselors, Miss Charlotte McClure and Mrs. Gladys Miller, they put over a successful bond drive. As the battle continued with the motto, “We have not yet begun to fight,” (this time against English) reinforcements were sent in. The new leader of the battle was Dale Crouch ; Sergeant, Karl Steinhaus ; General’s Aide, Delores Chiado ; Finance Officer, Jack Frazure, who was relieved by Leslie Bargfeldt; Messenger, Mary Slingsby. We held our ground under the leadership of Mrs. Gladys Miller and Mr. Leo Luebbehusen. A year later, signs of victory were beginning to appear. Once more, under the leadership of Fred Titley, the forces were reorganized. Eddie Benoit was that man with three stripes on his sleeve ; Anna Marie Sitrusa, the General’s Aide; Sonia McNair, the Finance Officer; Jack Woodland, the Messenger. As the battle against U. S. History raged on, Ed Benoit took over as leader and Ray Franz as Finance Officer. The important victories won were “Cash and Carrie”, the Junior Play, “Tropical Cruise,” the Junior Dance, and last but not least, the Junior-Senior Prom. This was accomplished through the moral support of Mr. Loren Carrier and Mr. Floyd McCutchan. We chose J. B. Rice to lead us in our final campaign. His co-officers were Ed Yerga, Sergeant; Esther Davis, General’s Aide; and Ray Franz, Finance Officer. An early victory was the Senior Dance, Nov. 1 ; the final victory, the Senior Play, “The Campbells Are Coming.” After a successful campaign, all good soldiers were awarded the H. S. D. (High School Diploma). Mr. Carrier and Mr. McCutchan were again loyal to us throughout this, our final year.
