Most Important Course Senior officers: Reporter Elmore, Vice-President Patton, Secretary-Treasurer Filleman. that night of scratches and bruises we behold with pride, however knowing the Senior class of ' 47 carries them, too. (Maybe they didn ' t get as many, but it was a good fight.) Peace was declared afterwards when we gave our Junior Prom honoring the Seniors. The Seniors ' Belle and Beau, whom our class chose, were Bobbie Burns and Johnny Humphrey. They were presented and crowned amidst ivy and roses. We also selected four Duchesses from our class to attend the Belle and Beau. Madolyn Powell, Evelyn Oglesby, Patricia TVrighV-ancLLoys Gand were the four duchesses, crowned with carnntiofis- aijd roses. Our Junior year gone, at last we became Seniors. As leaders of the school, we began our final year with registration. We plunged into work with our hearts set on commencement. Clifford Jett was elected again to presidency of our class as well as Student Council president. Accom- panying Clifford as leaders of us mighty Seniors were Donald Patton, vice-president; Barbara Filleman, sec- retary; and Mary Elmore, reporter. Mary Elmore and Dee Aveyt were elected to positions on the Student Coun- cil. Britton Smith, Bobcat guard and captain, led our fighting gridiron team through the ' 47 season. At the end of the year, Richard Harvey, quarterback, was named the most conscientious player. Abby Mee was chosen by the Drill Squad as head cheer leader, assisted by Evelyn Oglesby. Elizabeth McGowen, Senior alternate cheerleader, carried the Drill Squad ' s banner. One of the special attractions which has made our Senior year the best-yet was the trip to Mexico City when the Bobcats played the Y.M.C.A. eleven. The re- ception we got when our special train arrived in the Mexico City station will long be remembered. The foot- ball game (which We won 13-6), floating gardens, the Waldorf, the Blue Room, the El Morocco, sight seeing trips — all are things which gave us memories we ' ll cher- ish forever. In elections and officers for the school we have led the way this year — as Seniors should. The Bobcat Band selected Charles Briggs as drum major, John Net- leton assistant drum major, and Jack Tidwell president. Madolyn Powell was chosen as their sweetheart, and Ann Warren ranked second as alternate sweetheart. Pa- tricia Wright and Maryo Conerly carried the American and Texas flags for the band boys. Heading the Campus Corral staff this year have been Mary Elmore, editor, and Loys Gandy. business manager, Maymegene Williams was appointed editor of the Westerner, and Jeannine Young was chosen business manager. After football season ended, basketball was eagerly started. Clifford Jett and Lynn Abbott were co- captains of our Bobcat basketball team this year. The pep rallies and the spirit we showed at our games were outstanding, and baskethall was indeed accepted by SAHS and the whole city. Hobby clubs were among the new additions this year. We each belonged to a club, which added to the excitement of a new way of acquaintance to some pros- pective heart throb or a new chance for slipping over to the bakery, in case Mr. Redfield was out of sight. Gradually spring came, we felt our Senior days coming to a close. It was a little sad to th ink of stand- ing under the traditional mesquite tree, walking down the hall with some special, passing notes, seeing and being with our class as a body for the last time. One by one the wonderful events of our Senior Year — the Senior Banquet, the Junior Prom, Kid Day. the Junior-Senior fight, the Senior Play, the annual band concert. Baccalaureate, and at last. Commencement slipped by. We should note that at the Junior Prom Loyce Gandy reigned as Belle and Boyce Perry as Beau, with Duchesses Nancy Hardin, Jane Nix. Annette Mor- gan and Joanne Boothe in attendance. We were caught into the gay whirl of Seniors, and now we have finallj finished it. These days we ' ve spent at San Angelo High are inexpressible. We ' ve come to love this school and its people. Although we ' ve fussed and fretted for gradua- tion day. we now know we ' ll always wish we could do over these high school days. We ' ve been proud this year to lead the schoQl. and we now hand it to the Juniors, who we know will be just as proud when their time comes. As we say good- bye, proudly yet sadly, we know that San Angelo High will always remain a part of us. even as we will surely remain a part of her. Thus we will sing our song for the last time, with a thrill that comes from deep inside our hearts All hail to you. dear SAHS. hail to the orange and the blue. Thy sons and daughters love thee well. Their love for you wll never grow old.
