Ckm of Forty-eight From our first day in high school we have loved organizations. We have helped bolster the G.A.A., S.H.E., F.F.A., Chorus, and Ovejitas. Frances Fisher and Esther Sims assisted Miss Herron in the library during their free periods. We freshmen also were thrilled at the mention of parties and dances. Norma Stewardson, Virginia Herron, Joan Bolinger, and Rose- mary Younger could be seen at most of the dances. By the way, Norma was also one of the cheerleaders, but she couldn't attend the regional tournament because of the mumps. Evidently Patsy Reider, Virginia Danne- berger, and Joyce Neese were afraid of the bogey man because they were always seen walking home to- gether. This year we brought into high school another Schultz-Joy! She and Shirley Raab were the most powerful members of the freshmen girls' volleyball team, but Joan Bolinger surpassed all of the girls in basketball. Our boys were very much interested in athletics, especially Ralph Bly, Billy Sands, Jack Lich- tenwalrer, and Junior Martz. Rough and tough Eugene Johnson is our secret weapon for basketball in the future. We shall never forget the Hne work George Wilch and Jack Lichtenwalter did in the pep meet- ing skits. Lucille Severe, Jeanne Barden, Edith Beck- ett, and Reta Bishop were quiet and demure l110St of the time, but we know that little Lucille was literally swept off her feet one time while square dancing. Were Helen Rezinas, Jack Davis, and Jimmy Thompson real- ly studying or just going through all of the motions in the study hall? And what about boys like Rex Shasteen, who asked how to spell a word during a spelling contest! In April, on Friday 13, we gave a hard luck party in the gym. There were musical selections by Joyce Thurber, Joan Bolinger, and Rosemary Younger. Norma Stewardson and Virginia Herron danced, and Jack Lichtenwalter gave imitations. Our Hrst year in high school is finished. We are no longer greeng we know our way about now. Next year we shall have a chance to laugh at the newcomers as we were laughed at this year.

Student Leaders This has really been an outstanding year for the Student Council. It was mainly through the council's efforts that the Youth Center came into being. They brought up the subject, sent around a petition, and, after the City Council had approved it, elected a committee to get the Youth Center going. The Student Council is divided into three com- mittees: social, athletic, and program. The social committee, with Eileene Phegley as chairman, sponsored the All School-Freshman Initia- tion party and the Homecoming festivities, which in- cluded a parade, field-day and a dance, with Phyllis Peek as queen. Johnny McBride had charge of the athletic com- mittee and did a swell job putting on pep meetings before the study hall. Don Morehead and Mr. Bat- tershell assisted him in presenting them. fWell, by now we are used to Mr. Battershell's corny ideas.j The program committee, through the aid of Mrs. Prosterman, secured many fine movies which were shown to the student body. iii Last spring the National Honor Society held a col- orful initiation in the early evening down by the river. After a delicious picnic supper several of the present senior members were informally initiated. The Society started this year off with an alumni picnic supper at the park, where Mrs. Prosterman and Marshall Reid really did justice to the ice cream. At the end of the first semester we were proud to welcome seven new members into our society. To be chosen for membership is regarded as one of the highest and most significant honors to be attained in high school. Only one-tenth of the junior and senior classes are eligible for membership in this national or- ganization. The determining factors for membership are character, service, leadership and scholarship. Student Council: President, Marshall Reid: Vice President, Wayne Howseg Secretary-Treasurer, Carl Courtright. First Semester National Honor Society: President, Marshall Reid: Vice President, Don Morehead: Treasurer, john Yantisg Secretary, Betty McCord.
