OF 1948 the Junior Prom at which many couples tripped fantastically over the floor. Through the Summer months we eagerly anticipated the following school year during which we would reign supreme HJ. This was the year! Through most of the first semester our main diversion was the class play Tomorrow, the World in which the actors of 1948 made their debut. Onward we trudged through Chrlstmas vacation mid years, and social events until at last we reached the one yard line-gradu- ation finals. Before we realized that the touchdown had actually been made, we were swept into the social functions of the closing days. We were royally entertained at the Junior Prom, and our three days at Washington passed all too quickly. At last the long awaited Com- mencement arrivedg it was a great night, but it ended the best years of our lives a fact we will come to reallze more and more as the years pass by SENIOR CABINET FIRST Row Fern Diumheller Pansy Goodyear Kitty Lou Schmearer SECOND Row Stanley Stolal Rita Reynolds Barbaia Walteis Helen Kulp Phyllis Becker, Jim McDevitt THIRD Row Paikei Cl0W Goidon Fngle Bob Pennypackei Curtls Klaus Rlchaid LaRose Thu teen Y - 1 1 1 ' ' . , , .
