Ellen Crosen, Janet Grove, Helen Benner .A ZZ. Well, here we are, graduating seniors at last. This marks the turn- ing point, the beginning of a new era in our young lives. Let's reflect over the activities of the senior class of 1947, those memorable events that have taken place during our last year at Roosevelt. The seniors made a good begin- ning by electing Glen Vanlaning- ham President, Janet Grove Vice- President, Ellen Crosen Secretary, and Helen Benner Treasurer. Glen joined the Army during the sum- mer, so Janet took possession of the gavel in September. Sam Newcom- er was chosen the ASR Cabinet Representative. To Miss Lee and Mrs. Gilbreath, the class wishes to express its appre- ciation for the friendly, considerate and helpful advice they have given them. The seniors voted to wear caps and gowns for graduation, royal blue for the boys, and white for the girls. Louise Bach was in charge of this committee, while Barbara Dunlap had responsibility for the senior questionnaires. The ordering of graduation announcements and personal cards was handled by Marilyn Bird. The Dash-Away Ball was the title given to the Christmas dance,
