The class was now minus two of its members. Hilda Myhrberg moved to Rutland. and Ovid Bani took the long trip back to the Philippines. The winning candidates from the senior class for the reestablished Student Council were Robert Anderson, president. Carol KIebeck and Anna Schako, representatives. After school had settled down. we found the freshmen reception right at hand. As usual it was lipstick and green paper for the freshiesf, with more elaborate costumes in the evening. Growin Pains was the title of the senior play presented in December. Miss Hackett tfid a hne job of directing. A series of prohtable events followed the play, sale of Chnstmas cards. two 01- three food sales, several dances, and a Senior Ball. Most classes in the paet have gone into the red on formal dances. We came out on the top. The proht? Six cents. Six seniors were out for football in the fall. Pete Kapitan, Bunum Olson, VIC Valach, Bruce Cums. Moose Thompson, and Andy Macek. In basketball these same seniors won the Marble Valley Lea e championship with fourteen straight wms. They were narrowly defeatefllljy West Rutland in an over- time period in the Southern Vermont Tournament. In the class B consolation game at Barre they defeated Waterbury. winning the consolation trophy. Elna Anderson was elected the D. A. R. girl of the class of '48. We wish to congratulate her. The class trip came in May. A Four'day weekend in New York was the reward for working so hard to earn the money. After this the treasury looked a little sick!
