J. While traveling on the long, dry, dusty road on April 23, 1947 we stopped just long enough to elect new officers for the oncoming journey. The miners elected as president, Leroy Cook: Vice President, Jean Fischerg Secretary, Joan Marshall, Treasurer, Louis Hamilton: Reporter, Pat Patrick, Representative, Barbara Major and Historian, Norma Smith. We selected our motto and class fl-ower. The white rose came out on top, with our colors, rose and white and the flying banner, There are no Lenches on the road to su-ccess. While still 3rd class miner, May 9, the night of the all school carnival arrived. It found the class of '49 selling noise makers, confetti, whistl- ers and paper hats! What a night! The glam- orous event of the evening was finally there. Boyer, Bob and Crawford, Imogene were crowned kin-g and queen. Allis well that ends well. The carnival was a great success and fun was had by all. To entertain the public the miners decided to sponsor The Pennington Case on November 26. Really! it was a big success! Next we sponsored a magazine sale. Captains Jean Fischer and Leroy! Cook were named. As we journeyed far into our Junior year there were some changes made. Joan Smith, Ray Brown, and Charles Smith left us, While Janice Adams, Lawrence Johansen, Irene Keith, Mae Rehner and Cheryl Miner joined our car.aVan. Next the most magnificent event of the year was the 13th annual J-hop, the Cinderella Ball . The big night of May 21, finally revealed that the ceiling was co-rnpletely decorated with ball- oons and the stage, which was th-e setting of the orchestra, had .a 'background of' Cinderella in her rags and her glamourous evening gown. Trsllis's were located about the room with spring flowers. Tasty refreshments were served. It was assur- edly a glorious evening. We held our picnic at the Pokahagon Park.-- It didn't rain. September 10, 1948 found us miners, forty two in number, registering as FIRST class--fSeniors, that ish. Happy days ahead! We were West- ward Bound . Alas! the name miners slowly turned to '49ers. Our first activity of the year was selling Christmas Cards. We were proud to have Jean Fischer and Bob Boyer chosen as the Homecoming king and qu-een. On October 21, we were all dressed up to sit before the camera with a nice smile for the bird- ie. It was the graduation picture of course. Two Gentlemen and Verona was chosen as the miner production of the year. We set forth with a business like stride, and the first curtain went up November 17. A second performance was given on November 18. It turned -out to be a good show. Various types of name cards were received on November 22. The miners had a penny potluck on December 14, and after having filled up with good things to eat, the evening Was rounded out by singing Christmas carols. Smiling and frowning faces, as in the gold rush days, filled the halls on December 17. The sen- iors had finally received their pictures. On February 1, the miners all enjoyed the lovely banquet giver' in their honor lby the junior class. Stopping off' for a lovely formal .affair all the miners attend-ed the J-Hop given by the Juniors on May 13. In May, a side trip was experienced with the '49ers taking a. five day trip to Washington, D.C. which was very educational and inspiring. As our journe-y's end drew near we realized we had had troubles, heart-aches, fun and laughter. The final steps were taken June 2, --gradua- tion-- with some tears, some smiles and a deep feeling within the hearts of the individual '49ers. 'Ihey had successfully reached one destination in life and were no longer the class of '49, but individuals who would step forth into the world to seek the riches yet to come.
