From that first day in September, 1943, when bewildered freshmen, the class of '47 has had two objectives—graduation and the long-awaited trip to New York City. We had these ob- jectives in common with most classes of the past, but our jour- ney through those four turbulent and exciting years has been one unlike any other. We first showed the world our unconquerable spirit of good sportsmanship and fair play when we, without a protest, permit- ted the sophomores to paint our faces and torture us. But we were slaves for Just one week! Then we started our numerous mon- ey-making activites, with the thought that next year we would have our chance to get even . We sponsored several dances after basketball games and two movies. Our first thought as sophomores, was to place extra divi- dends in our bank-account by selling the freshmen to any unsus- pecting and innocent bidder. Another important event was our delicious spaghetti supper. There was enough for everyone, and it was a great success. Time passes quickly and soon we were Jolly Juniors. Our most important project was collecting old papers and selling them. This was always done in the worst conceivable weather, but boosted our treasury almost three hundred dollars. When our class rings arrived in November, we happily and proudly displayed them to everyone that would look. Day after day you could have found juniors selling pencils, emblems, and candy bars in the halls. We will never forget the task of explaining our selling Season's Greetings.' pencils in March and April I We did our utmost to convince prospective cus- tomers that they were Easter pencils. The Junior-Senior Banquet was the climax of our Junior year and was held in honor of the departing senior class. Soon it was September and our last year in high-school had begun 1 We were proud to boast three additional class members, two recently home from the Navy and one from another school. Early in September we displayed our skill in salesmanship through our magazine subscription campaign. Although we didn't reach our goal of $2000, we gained valuable experience and had fun doing it. On November 8th the class of '47 presented the three-act comedy, China Boy , under the direction of Mrs. Harry Dean. No senior will forget the work and preparation that entered into the production of this play, nor will he forget how delicious the toasted cheese sandwiches and pop tasted afterward and the party we had at Clayt’s house I Our last selling project was the stationery campaign which proved very successful. With most of the plans for our New York City tour in June completed, and with the agreement that we are going to hold ann- ual class reunions, the members of the class of '47 now have to face the reality of graduation and of finding our places in this world. 12
