History of Class of '47 CContinuedj . On April 13, 1946 the class entertained the class of '46, faculty, and trustees at a reception held at Turkey Run lnn. The Dutch theme was very well carried out in the decorations, and all who attended enjoyed the occasion. Then came the fall of 1946 and the noted group were seniors. By this time only thirteen of the original class still clung together. They were: john Etter, Carol Henry, Glenn Himes, Lois Kessler, Katherine Keys, Luetna McMahan, David Rice, Roy Sarver, Delores Steele, Emery Steele, Margaret Swank, Thomas Webb, and Barbara Wray. Other members were: jerry Briggs, Marilyn Brattain, jesse Delano, Ioan Dunbar, Christian Graha-m, Phyllis Jacks, Berdena jones, Alma Long, Don Rendfeld, Billy Whitecotton, and Louise Wininger. New class officers were chosen at the first of the year: john Etter, president, Marilyn Brattain, vice-president, and Margaret Swank, secretary and treasurer. Iohn and Marilyn were also student council members. The class was proud of its muscle men, Billy Whitecotton and jesse Delano, who so faithfully served their school on the baseball and basketball teams respectively But they were equally proud of those who were members of the band: Lois Kessler, Katherine Keys, Phyllis jacks, and Barbara Wray, and glee club, Carol Henry, Phyllis jacks, Lois Kessler, Katy Keys, Marilyn Brattain, and Barbara Wray. Forgetting the girls who represented the class in the donkey basketball game sponsored by the Hi-Y club, would be out of the question. They were Katy Keys, Louise Wininger, Marilyn Brattain, and Luetna McMahan. On November 26, a three act farce, Dough Crazy , was produced by the class. This, as did their junior play, provided entertainment for a large audience. May 2, 1947 was the day that the teachers of New Market High School heaved a sigh of relief, because at least they were rid of a few of their pests. But the Class of '47 was very proud that they had completed the necessary requirements entitling them to the precious piece of paper for which they had struggled for twelve long years. . CLASS WILL lt was a sad but memorable day, The New Market chimes tolled a mournful lay, The High School Flag drooped to half-mast, The Class of '47 was breathing its last. The teachers' eyes were moist as could be Probably some of them couldn't even see, Their favorite charge was passing on, What would they do when it was gone? 3 This group for twelve long years had been, Unblemished by any form of sin, And excelled in scholarship how could they be, When each knew his letters from A to Z.

Class Will C Continuedb The thought foremost in the Juniors' minds, Was what do you suppose they leave behind, And won't we be heirs to their estate, Whether it be small or great? Then suddenly the news boys cried, HBuy an extra, a class has died l Headlines in boldest black affirmed, That from the truth they hadn't turned!- They read, 'gThe greatest class in town, lots many-burdens has laid down,' And the millions it has amassed, Now to others will be passed.-9' This fortune doesn't lie , they said, Entirely in coins of gold or lead, But in the many charms and graces, That have enabled it to set the pacesf' An attorney says there is a will, Which many hearts with joy will fill, This, he announces, is to be read, Soon as the bereaved faculty can be out of bed. With mingled emotions we face the task, Of learning the wished of this illustrious class, So now if you'll be attentive and still, We'll acquaint you with this momentus will. The Last Will and Testament of the Class of 1947 of New Market High School. October l, 1946 This has been a hectic day, The azure blue skies seemed a dismal gray, When the teachers asked the size of our heads, We almost wished that we were dead. Had we developed to the proper state, So a cap whould sit upon our pate, Or must we labor at school and home, Until we possess a larger dome? Finally, the verdict has been received, Our weary minds are greatly relieved, The decision makes life seem happy and bright, We'll steer the tassel from left to right.
