The senior members met early one morning for the pur- pose of setting up a MAYFLOWER campaign. Shirlee Price, sales manager, asked for and got volunteers willing to aid at the concession stands. Lee Kitch was authorized to write a script for our MAYFLOWER program which would for- mally open the sales campaign. This was cleverly done but unfortunately, the ideas could not be presented due to cir- cumstances beyond our control. This was a disappointing factor but the seniors kept their heads up and opened the campaign in spite of such difficulties. Basketball came to a close with the Sectional Tourney at which time Plymouth lost to Bremen. The Cap and Gown committee had finished its tasks oy now and time was grow- ing short. Feverish work on the MAYFLOWER filled the days of its editors because an early deadline had been set. On March 17 a concert was held by the music de- partment and was lauded one of the best in years. The Senior Play, Fresh Air, was presented to the public on April 21 and 22 as one of our final major activities in the life of our corporation. The prom, presented to us by the juniors as a final gesture of gratitude from the junior exe- cutives, high-lighted the evening of May 16. Senior Day was held May 19 and many an extra pound appeared as a result of the bountiful food. The time for our departure drew nearer and nearer. The traditional baccalaureate serv- ices were held and at length on May 22 the final dividend from our four years of work was presented to us in the form of the coveted diploma. Thus we were rewarded for our tireless efforts toward the goal of a better-paying cor- poration. 24

Executives Report con’t. . . . We returned for a short while to our business desks occupied with the taking of examinations, which would de- termine the persons who would hold the executive reins for the future year. The student court and council, monitors, etc. were all determined before the end of the term to facilitate reorganization for the next fiscal period. Then on May 28 we received our wages in the form of report cards, and were informed of our adavncement into the senior posi- tion of the corporation of P.H.S. After a summer vacation which went too rapidly, we re-entered the corporation for our final but most memor- able year. A more democratic method of electing class officers and mmbers of the corporation's government had been es- tablished the preceding year. Each candidate was required to present a speech lasting a few minutes, starting with why he or she wished to hold an office and his or her qualifications for the position. Rill crocker was elected to the corporation's highest office, that of President. Bill Dailev became Vice-President, while Pauline Clark and Fred Wol- farth were given the duties of Secretary and Treasurer re- spectively. The choice of monitors had been made also in the year preceding. The people chosen for the positions of being watchmen and guardians were to be headed by Jean Medlock. As soon as the new fiscal period began, the moni- tors were installed at their various posts. The many other branches of the corporation began re- organization promptly. Lee Kitch was chosen to head the Ye Pilgrim staff. She was to be assisted by Mary Lou Hawkins, Pauline Clark and Jean Medlock. Lloyd Duwelius and Keith Taylor had charge of the sports section. Jack Greenlee and Bob Mart took over the duties of President and Vice-President of Band and Betty Florian and Margie Keyser headed Sunshine. Hi-Y was headed by Bill Crocker; Norma Ward headed the new Brush and Palette Club, and Phyllis Dickson took charge of G.A.A. On September 26 the senior members arrived at our business establishment looking very neat and acting extra- business-like. This was so because the day for senior picture- taking had arrived and work on the MAYFLOWER began rolling. In honor of the accredited football team of the 1946-47 team a Homecoming celebration was held. Stockholder Helen Pesch was selected to reign over the festivities with Share- holders Marjorie Vore and Betty Florian aiding her in her queenly duties. On November 20 many new members were initiated into Masque and Gavel in a solemn candlelight ceremony. Thanksgiving vacation soon was here and the corporation employees spent the holiday being thankful for their many blessings. They hoped for increased dividends and a pros- perous future for the corporation. Christmas vacation finally arrived and two weeks were spent away from our business establishment. Time had flown and the first half of our final fiscal period was drawing to a close. We returned on January 6 and began work for examinations. The county tourney was played the following week, with Bremen taking laurels. Exams were as difficult as usual, but the corporation survived the crises and set up its work for the final fiscal period. 23
