Class of '47 IN THE FALL OF 1944, Monroe High School opened its doors to admit sixty-nine graduated freshmen, eager and anxious to enter the portals of higher education and new activities. With them, the class took their graduating motto, “I am the captain of my fate, I am the master of my oul. Under the capable leadership of Cab vin Boyes. president: Kcrmit Lund, vice-presi- dent: Dale Rabcn, secretary: and Carolyn Schuler, treasurer, the class distinguished itself with high honors by winning the scholarship plaque for the year. Serving as class officers during the junior year were Eddie Salvadalena, president: Dale Rabcn. secretary; and Carolyn Schuler, treasurer. Bar- bara Rabcn and Clyde Speakes were the junior representatives to the Student Council. The out- standing event of the class during the first semes- ter was the sponsoring of the “Stardust Junior Prom which proved to be a great success. By un- dertaking this activity, an old tradition was revived, for although the school had formerly entertained annual Junior Proms, for many years the custom had been neglected. Under the able direction of Mrs. Ogden, the Junior Class play “Life Begins at Sixteen, was presented on April II. The proceeds from the play were used in giving the annual Junior Ban- quet in honor of the Seniors, on May 17. A beautiful pink Gay Nineties theme was used. Class officers for the first semester in the senior year were Clare Roetcisoender. president; Anne Tucker, vice-president; Geraldine Ricci, secre- tary: and Dale Raben, treasurer. Officers leading the class during the second semester were Bob Stcnsland, president: Gloria Masterjohn, vice- president: Eleanor Nelson, secretary: and Wal- lace Cauffman, treasurer. The class play “The Whole Town's Talking was presented on January 10, under the fine direction of Miss Wicklund. The play was well attended and met with huge success. Transforming the gymnasium into a beautiful May-time scene, the seniors gave the annual ball on May 2, after being entertained by the juniors at a banquet given for them as a farewell ges- ture before departing from their high school careers as graduates of Monroe High School. At the ball, a huge Maypole, decorated with bright streamers, was the center of attention. Leading the class in scholastic standing all through high school, were Eunice Connelly and Calvin Boyes, who received the high honors of valedictorian and salutatorian, respectively, of the Class of '47. Geraldine Ricci received the honorable D.A.R. award and the outstanding Wagner awards also went to Geraldine Ricci and to Dick Strcissguth. 10
