Sflllllli CLHSS HISTURU Fifty-two strong, the nrst class to be graduc.ted from Morris Junior High entered the senior high. Apparently born leaders, they introduced our present student government and made it a success. To the first student council meeting they sent Betty Briclgtord, Dolores Ederer, Dick Smith, and Jerry Probst. Their greatest achievement during this year was the sponsoring ot a carnival. Six of their number had important parts in the operetta, Hollywood Bound . Their otticers were Janice Hafdahl, president, Wayne Nelson, vice president, Dolores Ederer, secretary, and Gerald Probst, treasurer. At last, as upper classmen, the iunior class presented the play, The Golf Champ . Dolores Ed- erer and Punk Moffatt captured the leads. With spring came plans for the annual prom. Under a canopy of gaily colored garlands, iuniors and seniors danced to the music of Jack Howard. The ban- quet was served in the Catholic Church basement. That year Jerry Probst was elected president, Dick Smith, vice president, Dolores Ederer, secretary, and Betty Bridgford, treasurer. To the Student Council went: Dolores Ederer, Betty Bridgford, Claire LaFave, Jerry Probst and Dick Smith. Now high and mighty seniors, Jerry Probst was reelected president, Dick Smith was chosen vice president, Betty Bridgford, secretary, and Dolores Ederer, treasurer.
