Senior Class History We, the class of 46, downtrodden and weary, fearfully groped our way through the first days of 42, our Sophomore year. We studied and worked uncertainly, but soon, however, school fell into a regular routine and we attracted our first attention from the school with our class party. Class elections brought victory to Naomi Ellenberger, President, Delores Kolbaba, Vice-President, Phil Krueger, Secretary-Treasurer, Connie Christ- iansen, girls representative, and Joe Conner, boys representative. To Mrs. Robertson fell the lot of guiding our first fumbling footsteps through our first high school year. When we were Sophomores, we knew nothing, but now were wise and worldly Juniors with Joe Conner, President, Maxene Ward, Vice-President, Cleo Lee, Secretary, Gloria Aguer, Treasurer, Ruth Kenney, Girls Represent- ative, and Frank Echanis, Boys Representative. We had a very successful year. We welcomed Mrs. Robertson back into the fold with open arms, for she was to be our sponsor again. Under the direction of Mrs. Ragsdale and Mrs. Robertson, our Junior Class play broke all records for laughs and attendance. Later, with Stardust as our theme and the Payette High School orchestra furnishing the music, the Junior-Senior Prom was super. Once again the portals of our Alma Mate'r opened its doors to have us enter as full-fledged Seniors. We had almost forgotten the worldliness we felt when we were Juniors. Class elections started the year off with a bang. Ken- neth lreland was chosen our leader for the year. Assisting him were Naomi Ellenberger, Vice-President, Gordon Chytraus, Secretary, Frank Preston, Treasurer, Delores Kolbaba, Girls' Representative and Ray Scott, Boys' Rep- resentative. Mrs. Robertson was again called to serve as our sponsor, for who else could do the job so well? Again we had a successful party and play, and as usual we dominated the sports fields, and ruled over the school activities. Many of the boys who would be graduating with us left their studies and all the pleasures of their high school days to serve their country. At last commencement draws nigh and like many Seniors before us, we prepare to take our big step in life. How we attack the problems which will confront us in life will depend a great deal on the type of philosophy we have acquired during the past three years . . . If we ignore the obstacles they are already half overcome. Longfellow says: We have not wings, we cannot soar But we have feet to scale and climb By slow degrees, by more and more The cloudy summits of our time. IO
