SENIOR CLASS HISTORY On September 13, 1943, fifty-five freshmen enrolled in Riverton High School to start a course of training that would enable them to take their places as citizens of the community with confidence and ability. The class sponsors were Miss Marjorie Havens and Mr. Joel Livingston. The class officers were Wayne Messenger, President: Donald Mishler, Vice-President: and Scottie May, Secretary-Treasurer. Gladys Miller and James Earl Livingston added a touch of royalty to the class by being selected as Princess and Prince of the Electron. Two one-act plays were presented: The Pampered Darling, a comedy, and Who Murdered Whom? a mystery. A three months' vacation was granted to the students to practice what they had learned during their first year. Forty-nine sophomores came back on September 7, 1944, to resume the course of study. Miss Agnes C. Stairrett and Mr. Wyatt P. Laughlin sponsored the group through the second year. Presiding officers were Mary Hardy as President, Robert Card as Vice-President, and Scottie May as Secretary-Treas- urer. The class play was The Angell Brats. The sophomores were honored by having Jane Marie Williams and Donald Mishler be the first underclassmen to become King and Queen of the Electron.

The junior's southern hospitality was shown at the Annual Junior- Senior Banquet in the Auditorium on May 3. Three more months of vacation were taken to prepare for the senior year at R. H. S.

On February 14, Mary Hardy was crowned Sweetheart Queen of '47. James Earl Livingston, Calvin Winfrey, Ray Anderson and Robert Card demonstrated ability in basketball of which the entire class was proud.

The class has been given a good start during the four-year course here in school, and they shall continue to advance and do their best in all that they do.
