Old Growth The giant trees, towering in the forest of Irene S. Reed, are ready for harvesting. They have absorbed the riches of its soil and now go out of the forest into the growing world to make use of the knowledge gathered through their thirsting roots. The class of 1950 started as seedlings in the forest three years ago. Small and scorned, they occupied the back rows in the auditorium and observed senior courtesy. To guide them through that trying year they elected Don Cleveland, class president, Ted Dale, vice-president, Jack Valley, secretary-treasurerg and Jim Hunter, Board of Control representative. Mr. Hawkins was their able adviser. When spring came, the growing season for seedlings, Feryl Shafer was chosen Forest Festival princess. The annual tolo, held at the Eagle's Hall, climaxed the year and on moving-up day the seedlings became growing saplings, juniors. As juniors they were well established with their roots deep in the fertile soil of S. H. S. Miss Dorothy Hawthorne and Mr. Norman Hillyard lent helping hands to Merle Lindgren, president: Don Cleveland, vice-presi- dent: Barbara Bates, secretary-treasurer, and Jim Leg- gett, Board of Control representative. Margaret Walton and Deb Getty played the leading roles in the junior class play, We Shook the Family Tree. The saplings were well represented in the all- school plays and in the Thespian Society. Spring came again to the forest and this year Betty Newman was chosen Forest Festival princess. The class participated actively in the pageant as special characters. In late spring class colors were chosen, forest green and gold, and plans were started for the Junior Prom. To honor the graduating class of '49, the theme chosen was the Days of '49, the motif being carried out effectively with mining tools and blue and gold crepe paper. Mar- garet Walton, Barbara Bates and Jack Valley were chair- men of the Prom. Class day approached and with misty eyes the sap- lings took their places in the cherished front-row seats as the seniors moved out. As mighty firs they elected Lyle Ware, president, Des Koch, vice-presidentg Ann Hulbert, secretary-treas- urerg and Shirley White, Board of Control representative. Miss Burke was faculty adviser. Early in the fall the senior-welcome-sophomore Twin Dance was held. The seniors won the Saghalie contest and elected Ann Hulbert Saghalie Queen. College con- ferences took place during November. Kay Harthill, as senior majorette, lent color to the band appearances by twirling and flag swinging. The high point of the season was the Homecoming game with St. Martin's, Phyllis Rucker reigning over the event. Climaxing three successful years in sports, Des Koch was named on the State All-Star football team. Amid the rush of senior pictures the big dance of the year came, the Senior Ball, with Donna Demmon and Charles Kinsey as chairmen. Fantasy in Pink was the theme, carried out with pink clouds, trees and elephants. A precedent was set by the use of programs and it was reportedly the best formal dance in years. Graduation cards and announcements were ordered in the spring. Barbara Bates was announced Valedict- orian, and Daymond Speece, Salutatorian. Feryl Shafer Wokojance was elected to reign over the Forest Festival, with Phyllis Rucker, senior princess. The senior picnic, class day, Bac- i calaureate and Commencement fol- lowed in rapid succession to end three glorious years in the forest of Irene S. Reed. Hulbert: Hfarc: While: K0fI7
