WE ARE THE SENIORS OF THE FAIR Mary Randall, secretary-treasurer, Stuart Fondrie, presidenty Don Mahr, vice-president, Myrtle Meyer, Loyalty-representative. As the Fair year comes to a close, members who have participated in its activities for four years will graduate as the Class of '47, From the time that they entered the entrance gate as green frosh until now when they are about to leave the grounds by the exit as seniors, a great many events occurred which will be treasured as well as remembered in future years. Their first determination was to receive the best education possible during these four brief years. These stu- dents realized that their future in the world de- pended on the success of their high school train- ing. This realization was proved by the high aca- demic records of many. Besides education, many activities added enioyment to school life. Al- though this was one of the smaller classes in re- cent years, its size was not a detriment to the amount of ability found among its members. It had many fine athletes and musicians as can be seen by glancing over the number from the Class of '47 who went out for football and basketball, band, choir, and chorus. Many also were boosters of clubs. Loyalty meant a lot to this class and as iuniors they were strong competitors against the seniors in determining the ownership of the trophy. Other outstanding events which they recollect are the parties they had. They gave the first one as sophomores, choosing the theme, A Rendez- vous with Cupid, which was cleverly worked out in true Valentine spirit. Sadie Hawkins Day was the theme of the party given as iuniors. These were very entertaining but the one that really provided the most excitement was given this year. The theme was Treasure lsland. At it the fresh- men were officially initiated. This is always the hi- light of every senior party, and as usual everyone had a good time. Great acting ability was found among members of this class who gave the com- ical class play Too Sweet for Sixteen. This play was typical because it was about teenagers. Whenever these seniors hear the melodious song l'm Always Chasing Rainbows, their minds wan- der back to the wonderful times they had decora- ting the gym for the Junior Prom. Memories such as these are shared by all. In years to come, many boys and girls of this class will be among the prize winners of the largest Fairground of all - our nation.
