CLASS HISTORY We, the Class of '48, after completing the first act of our performance on the world's stage—our basic training in elementary and Junior high school, began the second act on September 5, 19 , when we enrolled as Freshmen at Rutland High School We elected Donald Luckadoo, Janet Theobald, Bill Buck, and Carl Morris as our class officers. Mr. Patterson served as our class sponsor but we had little social activity. We began our Sophomore year on Seotember 4, 1945. By this time we were becoming more adjusted and ready to accept the responsibilities that come with being Sophomores. At the beginning of the year we elected Janet Theobald, Beulah Kennedy, Naomi Graham, and Betty Jean Haley to play the leading roles in our Sophomore year. Mr. Smith was our class sponsor but again we had very few activities. We began our Junior year at Rutland High on Sep- tember 3, 1946. The Joy of receiving our class rings came at the very beginning of this year. We elected Ralph Swan, Tommy Donahue, Naomi Graham, and Beulah Kennedy ab class officers and Mr. Marlowe as sponsor, Mr. Marlowe was a great help to us in sponsoring the Junior Play, “Absent-Minded Professor, in which ten of the students participated. We also had a watch party at which everyone enjoyed himself Immensely.- A week before they graduated, we felt honored to give the seniors a banquet and treat them to a show. We began our final year at Rutland High School September 2, 1947, as dignified Seniors under the guidance of Dana Barton, Tommy Donahue, Naomi Graham, Janet Theobald, and Beulah Kennedy as class officers. We certainly appreciate the cooperation of our very nice senior class sponsor, Mrs. Hoffman, in making it possible for us to put on the Senior Play, Adam's Evening, which was a great success. Also for the kind invitation she extended us that we might use her home for the Christmas party we had. We will soon come to the end of our High 3chool career. We will be awarded a diploma for our first great accomplishment on our way to success.
