“SO LONG, IT'S BEEN GOOD TO KNOW VOIT Bright and early on a Tuesday morning in 1948 many new faces could be seen in the halls of Russell High. The eager but slight- ly frightened Sophomores were wondering just what was going to happen next. However.it did not take this industrious group long to become established with the rest of the student body. At the beginning of the year we elected Edgil McIntyre as our President . . .Ted Clarke, Jimmy Poe .and Helen Ratliff were elected to represent us in the Student Con- gress . . . Nine of our members were honored by being asked to join the Beta Club . . . Loretta Francis was chosen as Har- vest Queen. After a successful year as Sophomores we emerged as the Jolly Juniors of '49. The following officers were elected: President- Jimmy Poe; Vice-President-Charles Pel- frey; Secretary-Phyllis May; Treasurer- Mary Lou Powell. Joyce Justice was selected as “Miss Junior” for the year . . .Our play Mumbo Jumbo” was enjoyed by all . . .The high- light of the year was the Junior-Senior Ban- quet and Prom. Our theme was “Hitch your wagon to a star . The gym was decorated in blue and white with silver stars which created a heavenly atmosphere. After our summer vacation we again appeared in the halls of R. H. S. for our last year. We are now holding the long awaited place as Seniors and are striving to uphold the dignity of our position. . . We have sponsored dances after the ball games . . . conducted a very successful magazine sale and a white elephant sale. . . attended a wonderful party at the home of Mrs. Huges, one of our sponsor s. We have chosen Little Sweetheart for our Senior Play which will be given during Commencement week. We elected the following officers for our Senior year; President-Jim Poe; Vice- President-John Bennett; Secretary - Helen Gambill, Treasurer- Phyllis May. As this goes to press we are eagerly awaiting our Senior Trip to Washington and then . . . Graduation . . . .with all the joys and sorrows that it will bring . . . 25
