class history . . The class of -18 became a class in Septem- ber of 19-1-1. When initiation was finally completed we got underway. Dur enroll- ment consisted of several Boone County boys and girls. Paul Waitt became the pres- ident. We had two parties that year. The sophomore year became more interest- ing because we felt more at home with the upper classmen. That year we had a Christ- mas party and then the boys entertained with a hot-dog shin-dig. The senior c'ass that year had a fall festival which we took part in. As our concessions we had a basket- ball game and fortune telling booth. Paul Waitt was re-elected president. The junior year found us busy as bees. Again Paul Waitt became president. To add to all the activities we sold pop and popcorn at the ballgames, sponsored many dances, held a box supper in the gym, appointed Phyllis Landis and Max jones to work as annual staff members, took part in the fall festival, and presented a play, Ever Since Eve . Another big event was the decorating of the gym for the junior and Senior Prom, held May 2, 1947. When September the lst 1947 rolled around, we were seniors. After finishing the business of electing officers and initiating the fresh- men, we started work on the yearbook. The play, 'lWe Shook the Family Tree. was pre- sented December 9, 1947 under the direction of Miss Padgett. The pictures were taken early so we could have them for Christmas. I 1 I x x '73, 1 l ,li All year we had been talking about the trip to New York, Washington D. C., Atlantic City, or where ever else we could think of. lt was finally decided our trip would be May 1 to 6 and to Washington D. C. ln our regular class meetings we chose our invitations, name cards, and colors of royal blue and yellow, to match these colors we chose royal blue robes and yellow daffodils. Dur class motto is The Door to Success is Labeled Push . The Baccalaureate was held May the 9th and the Commencement was May the 10th. Summarizing the above facts we had four very memorable years in high school.
