YEAR BOOK 1947 19 ADDRESS OF WELCOME Members of the Faculty, beloved Parents and Friends: I am honored to be able to welcome you to the class day exercises of the class of 1947. We all sincerely hope that you will enjoy listening to these mem- ories of our four eventful years together as much as we have enjoyed recalling them, and preparing them to present to you. CLASS HISTORY Freshman Year Many people face life with assurance, others face it with un- certainty. It is the same with each Freshman class about to enter upon four years of high school. Our class was no exception. Even during the first weeks of school, this marked difference showed itself in the outward manner of the students. Some went about their studies with calm assurance, while the majority, I believe, were confused and perplexed. But soon. under the guidance of the faculty and upper classmen, we settled down and went to work with great zest. After everyone had got acouainted and the excitement had died down, we held our first class meeting. We elected the following officers: President ................ ..... I rvin Hattin Vice-President ......... ..... G ertrude Born Secretary ................... ......... C atherine Smith Treasurer ...................................... June Shead Our class advisors and home room teachers helped us over many of the rough spots. They were Miss Kieith, Miss Johnson, and Miss McCulloch. At some time during the year we agreed to contribute 550 to the General Athletic Association. The biggest project we undertook was the selling of wax paper. Everyone pitched in and did his share. The class made a profit of 590. The year passed quickly and with the help of interesting assem- hlies and athletic contests, we enjoyed every minute of it. Finally
