Yes. we were the freshmen and verv, very proud of it. That vear we elected Mike Coates as president; Pauline McAllister as vice-president; and Audria Workman as secretary-treasurer. Our Student C ouncil representatives were Jim McKee, Fred Anderson, and Jim Skaggs. After prancing jauntily through our freshman year, we advanced a step and then we were sophomores. We had a wonderfully happy year, with Willard Hess as our presi- dent. John Ridenour as vice-president, and Dorothy Chap- man as secretary-treasurer. Our Student Council repre- sentatives were Barbara Ferrari, Jim McKee. 1 hen before we noticed where the time had all gone we were — JUNIORS! Ah! What a time we had that year, what with ordering our rings and looking forward to the prom. May 1 . we were a pretty busy group. To earn money for the prom we sponsored the movie “Freddie Goes to College , and sold stationery. Willard 1 less was our president again that year; Audria Workman was vice-president, and Norma Larabee was secretary-treasurer. Jim McKee. John Ridenour, and Mil- dred Baldwin were Student Council representatives. Some of the important things that happened that year were : Stanley Hudnall received honorable mention and was a sectional winner in nation wide editorial writing contests sponsored by the Quill and Scroll. Reba King was crowned Miss Wildcat” of ’47 at the Poca basketball game, and Willard 1 less was elected Student Council president for the coming year. Time again passed quickly and we were SENIORS. Some of us were glad, all very proud. Our officers this, our senior year, are John Ridenour, president; Jim McKee, vice-president; and Audria Work- man, secretary-treasurer. Our representatives in the Student Council are Bill Craddock, Mary Jo Hudnall, and Jim Skaggs. The first thing we did this year was to measure for our caps and gowns, and then we received our class rings. Graduation day is getting closer and we arc feeling sad that our school days are just about over. Prettv soon we will be walking down the aisle and our chests will swell with pride, and there may be tears in our eves, as we re- ceive the diplomas that we have worked so hard for. We, the Senior Class of 48, look back on our school years with pride, but we are a little sad that everyone we have gone to school with will not be there to graduate with us. Some of the boys have joined the service, some of our friends have moved away, and some have dropped out along the way, but their presence will Ik felt among us on graduation night. We hope that seniors of coming years will Ik able to l(X)k back on their school years with as much pride and jov as de do! Porc Ten
