SENIOR HISTORY In September, 1944, thirty-one eager Freshmen started their four year ' s climb up Mount Experience, their destination, Point Graduation. With Eddie Linthicum as Chief Guide, Martha York and Robert Conley as Assistant Guides, June Schell and Eddie Linthicum as Council Members, the remaining twenty-six climbers, Bonnie Criswell, Pat Bowser, Kenny Ryan Frank Taylor, Betty Knott, Dick Stiles, Margaret Emlnger, Cecil Klmmell June Frederick, Honey Jean Shelvis , Alice Krotzer, Paul Hosted, Ivan Malone, Herbert Donat, Virgil McDonald, Charles Rabbitt, Robert Browning Alvin Potee, Ruby Johnson, Mary Jo Growcock, and Freddy Peck, managed to survive the initiation afflictions heaped upon them. Before many months had passed Freddy Peck withdrew to join the Merchant Marines and, Dick Stiles moved to Chicago. Before the year ended, Dick Cutler entered. As the second lap of the journey was being organized, Betty Treesh, Sally Donat, Franklin Nickolson, Katherlne Hulen, Dick Stiles, and Jerry Runyan came to reinforce our troop. During the vacation, Margaret Eminger, Bonnie Criswell, Ruby Johnson, and Martha York had dropped out. This year Robert Conley served as Chief Guide, and Eddie Linthicum, Virgil McDonald, and Betty Treesh as Assistant Guides, and Edith Cook and Jack Edmonds as Council Members. At Christmas , Dick Cutler withdrew to Areola, and Frank Taylor joined the Navy. The Sophomore Carnival was given successfully, and the class colors, red and white were chosen. Also sweaters, red with white letters, were chosen, and the class f lower the gardenia, was selected. At the end of the expedition the class total was twenty-nine. In the year 1947, the Jolly Juniors, having lost Jerry Runyan to the Marines, Frank Nickllson to Yakima, Washington, and having Bonnie Criswell, Herbert Donat, and Cecil Kimmell withdraw, gained Donna Murphy, Marjorie Snooks, and Ed Sattler. On October 18th, the Juniors presented their play, The Angell Brats , which was well presented and well received. Also the rings were received and well liked by everyone This year Eddie Linthicum was again elected Chief Guide, with June Schell and Katie Hulen as Assistant Guides. Roberta Eckhart, Jack Edmonds, and Robert Conley were Council Members. On the last lap of their upward journey, the class elected Eddie Linthicum, Donna Murphy and Roberta Eckhart as officers, and Edith Cook Paul Hosted, and Eddie Linthicum as Council Members. Over summer vaca- tion, Alice Krotzer, Pat Bowser, Betty Knott, Marjorie Snoo ks , and Kenny Ryan all withdrew from the climb. Then a short time after school had started, Charles Rabbitt joined the Navy, leaving twenty-two Seniors to reach the goal of Point Graduation. Of the twenty-two graduating Seniors, only three have spent their entire twelve years at the Rome City Sohool. Edith Cook, June Schell, and Robert Browning enrolled in the first grade at Rome City in 1936, and have continued their schooling here without withdrawing.
