SENIOR CLASS OFFICERS WILLIAM ROGER KAUFMAN NELLIE ANNE ELLBERG MARILYN LEE THOMPSON DONALD ROBERT LARSON Senior JN THE FALL of '47 the class of ’51 entered the doors of P. H. S. to spend four glorious years— years, highlighted by special class activities. In the freshman year there war. a picnic at the canal, and then in the sophomore year, there was the St. Pat- rick’s Day Banquet where everyone tried to be sophisticated while eating fried chicken. Later as upper classmen the Barretts of W impale Street was the first dramatic attempt of the group, and the Junior-Senior Prom climaxed the social year. Then in the senior year even more activities Class occupied the class. Cheaper by the Dozen” was the senior play which was a complete sell out. Earning money for the annual by selling most anything, sponsoring the Christmas party, and be- ing teachers for a day were all included as part of the activities. The prom, baccalaureate and com- mencement closed the four years in P. H. S. The class of '51 would like to express their ap- preciation to Miss Ashdown and the faculty who have taken a personal interest in the class. Abel, Arthur Wilbur Intramurals. I, 2. 3. 4.
