This publication, The Mirror, has grown into a tradition in which all important school affairs of the ym' are reviewed and a summary of the various extra-curricular activities is given. The students who are fortunate enough to be chosen as members of the staff are given numer- ous opportunities to express their abundant ideas. They gain practical experience in the various fields connected with journalism. Many of to- day's great journalists started their careers in their high school days when they were chosen for a position on the school newspaper or yearbook. We were greatly surprised when we found that we had been chosen as the executive board to publish The Mirror for nineteen forty-seven. We were puzzled as to why we were chosen for our particular positions. We were honest in our con- fession that we had little of the knowledge and experience required to mold our ideas into an out- standing publication. Later we found that each member of the staff had been chosen for his par- ticular position because he possessed the qual- ities that would ,make him especially -adapted to that position. At first we were just so many seniors, each with his own individual ideas of the manner in which our annual would be published. As we be- came more experienced in the various techniques of journalism we were willing to dismiss many of our own ideas in favor of better ones expressed by our classmates. Through the ceaseless work of our competent adviser, Mr. Jacobs, and our photographic adviser, Mr. Parnham, we became molded into an efficient and confident organization. The executive board is as follows: Editor ........................... Milton Nolin Assistant Editor .... ........ M argaret Hartman Business Manager ..... .......... J ames Best Pictorial Editor ..... .......... J oe Cook Literary Editor ............... Marge McDonald Society Editor ....................

4 . SENIOR J OFFICERS c Seated: R. Lockhart, Pres.g E. Mocherman, Sec. ' ' ' Standing: R. Ely, V. Pres., J. Cook, Treas., Mr. Jacobs, Adviser. - ' SENIOR CLASS - - Today is the day that we have anticipated for several .years. Since the first fearful day of high school, our class has worked and playedltogether toward graduation. The impression of our first formal dance left us breathless. We were whirled into activities, fun, and new acquaintances, and our fear left us though we were respectful of the upperclassmen. A ' The sophomore year was filled with more activities, renewing friend- ships and studies. We noticed with interest the various programs spon- sored by the Student Council. Our junior year went much too fast, with the Junior Play, Junior- Senior Banquet, and Spring Festival the outstanding features. Then, our senior year has arrived. Many more activities and harder studies took our time. We chose Robert Lockhart as President: Dick Ely as Vice President, Eleanor Mocherman as 'Secretarvg Joe Cook as Treas- urerg Jim McMillen and Margie Hartman as student, council representatives. There was the ,senior hayride, the rusn of 'senior picture-taking, trad- ing name cards, ordering invitations, choosing a senior queen, and a senior play. Then Senior Farewell, Baccaleaurate, and Graduation, followed in quick succession. ' Graduation is a happy time, yet, we' feel a tinge of regret that our happy times together here, are over. ' We wish to thank those parents, teachers, and frienfgis who have helped us through our-school years. ' . - ' ' Betty White Page Sixteen
