CLASS HISTORY On a hot and sunny day back in September of l943, a group of twenty individuals with that distinctive green freshman look entered the doors of Ogden Community High School. On this day they became known as the Class of 1947. When time for class elections came, they elected Bertie Mae Bradley, president: Glen Busboom, vice-president: Danny Freeman, secretary-treasurer: Betty Eyestone, reporter: and Miss Anita Belford as the class advisor. A great many of them joined the music department and participated in the musical hits of the year. Although the class was fairly large when it was assembled in school, it began to decline in members near the end of the first year. During that year Ruth Kitchen and Agnes Talbot transferred to other schools. Wilbur Sieberns and Clarence Frerichs left the class near the end of the year. In September of 1944, as sophomores, the class was re-assembled with six- teen members. By the end of the first semester, Charlene Denhart, Don Max- well, and Bob Saathoff had discontinued their studies at Ogden Community High School. This discontinuation reduced our number to thirteen, an un- lucky number. That year the advisor was Mr. McJilton. Class officers were elected with Betty Eyestone, president: Danny Freeman, vice-president: Bertie Bradley, secretary-treasurer: and Glen Busboom, reporter. Although thirteen is supposed to be an unlucky number, it did not prove to be unlucky for the Class of 1947. The beginning of their junior year found the class busily at work preparing for the Junior-Senior Banquet. Miss Carter was the class advisor for that year. Class officers were: Carl Carter, president: Danny Freeman, vice-president: Ber- tie Bradley, treasurer: Betty Eyestone, secretary: and Glen Busboom, reporter. They were kept very busy with the class play and also the Junior-Senior Ban- quet. They presented the comedy play, Everything Happens to Us, and took part in a very successful Christmas Operetta and County Music Festival. The Junior-Senior Banquet was a great success and they were proud of themselves. At last the year which the class had all waited for arrived. They were Dig- nilied Seniors. Mildred Putnam failed to return to her studies, leaving the class with a total of twelve. There were five girls and seven boys in the senior class. The senior play, Hillbilly Courtship, was presented and was very successful. Miss Nicoson was our advisor and Glen Busboom was elected president: Bertie Bradley, vice-president: Wilma Jacobs, secretary-treasurer: and Betty Eyestone, reporter. Various members of the class participated in Christmas operettas, dramatic events, band, chorus, and other extra-curricular activities. We are leaving Ogden Community High School to seek our place in the great wide world. As we leave this school we will take with us many fond memories of our school days. These thoughts will linger with us forever. 14 The 1947 Maroon
