CLASS HISTORY AND SO WE GREW In September, 1947. in the eyes of the school and of ourselves, we were recognized as the Sophomore Class. At our first meeting we officially elected Alan Rowland president. Our first, last, and only endeavor as Sophomores was the Sophomore Hop. We didn't make all the money we had hoped to. but we did have fun. We came hack to school the following year as Juniors. We had gone another step up the ladder to graduation. That year Donald Waterman was elected president. We sponsored a “Poverty Dance,” which was very successful financially. Our Junior Prom, given in May, was everything we had anticipated. At the end of that year, we had grown closer together as a class. In September, 1949, we were officially Seniors. We elected James Keane our new president. A real job lay ahead of us, that of raising enough money to cover our graduation expenses. We began by selling blue and gold book covers and were very successful. Then we held a magazine drive, and we sold more magazines than any class before us. We had a good time New Year's live at our dance, and again in June at our Senior Banquet. It is our earnest hope that each member of the class, as he goes out into the world, may keep the spirit of gaiety and humor which have marked our happy high school days. The 1950 Sequin 23
