The Senior Class of 47 was born on September 3, 1935 at 9 A. M. On this date a group of twenty-three entered the world of learning. They left behind them the haven of childhood and delved into the realm of knowledge. This small band of eager students began its work under the supervision of Kiss Harriet Bendickson. The first grade seats were filled by the following twenty-three: Jarvis Anderson, Beverly Bendel, Car- men Benson, Ardis Colbenson, Keith Colbenson, Dale Christensen, Carol Bock, Donald Evenson, Mavis Evenson, Arthur Gresh, Doris Hatleli, Helen Iverson, Lila Jacobson,Alice Jensen, ’Yesley Johnson, Walter Lee, Herbert Parnow, Charlene Schonsby, Bill Turek, Phyllis Virock, Dean Thompson, George Hovland, and Paul Stevens. The Class of 47 had as its first extra-curricular activity— Rythmn Band. Since that time the students have maintained their record of having a high percentage of participation in all out-of-class school activities. At the termination of our first eight years the class had fluctuated in membership from year to year, but it reached its climax in 1944 when its members became freshmen and numbered forty-eight. Throughout all four years of high school the class did have its ups and downs yet it continued to retain its unity and consideration for its fellow-menbers. Today we are about to depart from the halls ofRushford High with the purpose in mind of .applying the knowledge have gained throughout our twelve years. The Class of '47 will now relinquish its seats to the members of the Class of '48. Y ) ■' v v I -t •' ■A v •- J
