L Senior Class Officers Bonnv Martin, president: Eileen Howard, secretary: and Bill Kautz. vice president. Senior Class History Freshmen at last! That’s what we, the seniors of ’49 thought ’way back in ’45. That year we elected Edna Angell as president. We tried very hard to match the seniors in dress and manner at the school party. We certainly lived up to our title of green freshmen, didn’t we? Our next year we became sophomores. We re-elected Edna Angell as our president. With the time passing so fast, as it has an awful habit of doing, we soon discovered that we were in our junior year. Remember the exciting time we ordered our class rings? That was one of our greatest thrills. The class president was Bill Gibson. Of course this was our first year to go to the prom, the longed for event, that we all had dreamed about. Now' it had become a reality. To finance this we sponsored a movie, “Prom Date”, and sold stationery, to “eek” out enough for Bill Garten’s orchestra. So many things happened in our junior year that lie- fore we knew it we were dignified Seniors! Some were sad, others were happy, and still others just relieved! At the very first week of being a senior we were dream- ing of graduation, and getting our class rings just en- hanced them. We also were measured for our eaps and gowns at the first of the year. This year our class president was Benny Martin. Clarence Burdette the Student Council President. The “Wildcat”, the traditional year-book, was given a rough way to go. It seems as if the present senior class hiis time only for extra-curricular activities, because find, ing people to solicit ads and write stories was as rare as is selling Henry Ford a “Chivvy”. So now graduation is Getting closer and our high school days are about over. We will soon receive our diplomas that we have worked so hard for. We, the Senior Class of ’49, look back on our many happy school days with pride. We are a little sad that every one of our classmates cannot be with its on Graduation night. Some boys are in service, some have moved away, and others dropped out along the way, but their presence will be felt on Graduation night. We hope the Seniors of future years will look back on their school years with as much pride and happiness as we do! Pane 7Yn
