During the year the three-year-olds sponsored two magazine sales to raise money for the Junior-Senior banquet. One of the happiest events of the year came on February 15, when the class rings arrived. Also in February the annual public show-off was given, consisting of a short George Washington skit, a song entitled, 'Tm My Own Grandma, and a song by ,leanice Cale accompanied by Joy Nell Love. On April 12 the Junior Class play, The Inner Willy,,' was given. The last and most exciting lap of the third heat came on May 14, when the Junior-Senior banquet and prom took place. The theme, '6Apple Blossom Time, was carried out in the decorations and in the speeches. The fourth and final heat began on September 4, 1948, with thirty-four mem- bers in their hurdles. There were two withdrawals, Mary Wilson and Joan White. Bob Simmons, a World War 2 veteran, was graduated with the class. Everyone held his breath to see who would lead the group this year. Dick Sutton came in in the lead and Clyde Bennett second. Delores Leech took care of the race money. Advisers of the four-year-olds were Charlene Fisher and Donnie Brown. For the Student Affairs, Pat Schuller and Jesse Rogers were chosen. Joy Nell Love served on the Athletic Board. Sponsoring the dignified four-year-olds were Miss Albertson and Mr. Morgan. The colors for the class were blue and white, and the class ilower was the red carnation. If we rest, we rust was the class motto. This year the four-year-olds sponsored the Berne Accordion Band to raise money for the publication of their Annual. In November they presented a skit, Wfruth or Consequences, introducing the Annual drive. The Pelier Hotshotsi' gave two musical numbers, Buy an Annual, and 'Tm Forever Signing Annualsf' On February 18 the annual public show-oH' was given, which was a pres- entation of The Old Village School. On May 6 the group gave their class play entitled Two Gentlemen and Veronaf, Senior exam day was on the 17th, a day that all the four-year-olds looked forward to. One spring day that we shall never forget is the one on which the Annuals arrived. It was a day when we thought we would never get out of the halls into class. Then came the last and final lap of the grand race: the Junior-Senior banquet and prom on May 20, Baccalaureate services on May 22, Honor Day on May 23, Commencement on May 24, and Alumni Banquet on May 27.
