Twelve years ago, the Senior Class of 47, or most of it, walked through the doors of various schools for the first time, and optimistically demanded an education. Of the eighteen, or twenty first-graders who started here in 1935, only four--Mildred Bieler, Reta Moore, Claire Julian and Wayne Kiser have completed their entire twelve years of school in the Sheridan School. The rest of the present 3enior Class has Joined this quartette, either in the grades, or in high school. We started our high school career with an enrollment of twenty-two eager freshmen, brimming with that naive self-assurance that only freshmen possess. We had a lot leas of it after initia- tion. However, we recovered in time to enjoy our return party to the Sophomores. Our class officers were: Pres.- Art Chenowith; V. Pres.- Bill Babcock; Sec.-Treas.- Murray Ehlers; Class Repre- sentative- Virginia Schneider. We entered our sophomore year with the same enrollment we had as freshmen, twenty-two. We enjoyed several parties, but we weren’t extremely active in sports or other extra activities. Our class officers were: Pres.- Art Chenowith; V. Pres.- Murray Kh- lers; Sec.-Treas.- Mary Ann Magnus; Class Representative- Virginia Schneider. When we came to school as Juniors, we met many new faces and missed several old ones. Our Junior year was a period of steady activity. We took a greater interest in sports, and our banquet and prom were conceded by all to have been successful. Our class officers were: Pres.- Mildred Bieler; V. Pres.- Robert Jones; Sec.-Treas.- Claire Julian; Class Representative- Virginia Schnei- der. Our senior class, which is composed of fourteen memoers—eight girls and six boys--has had a busy year. All of our activities were pursued with the help of our sponsor, Mr. Brim. During the course of the year we sponsored a Senior Ball, enjoyed very much our senior privileges and the sneak day we had, and have worked hard to put out this annual. Our class officers were: Pres.- Robert Jones; V. Pres.- Don Harres; Sec.-Treas.- Claire Julian; Class Representative- Ray Breach. Since we started as freshmen we have lost only one member of our class to the armed forces—Jay Stansell. We will always be grateful to our parents for providing us with the opportunity to receive a high school education, and to our teachers for the patience and consideration they have shown throughout the years we were with them. Our faith in our homes and our school is the basis of the confidence with which we face the future

CLASS PROPHECY Department of Information- 1957 Dreams are funny things, but when they turn to reality we en- counter a different view on the natter—and so it was with the graduating class of 1947 who marched boldly from the doors of Sheridan High. They all held dreams of their own and some of them come true but with a few twists. Murray Ehlers, who always had hopes of becoming a great atom-bomb scientist ended up in a Bubble- Gubble Gum Factory on the moon and his assistant, Albert Rojlc, has recently discovered a new formula for making bubble gum that has richer, longer-lasting bubbles. Albert always wanted to invent something and this was his chance. Barbara Allhands and Margaret Claypool are very happy herding sheep on their big ranch in Chile which had always been their chief ambition. Mildred Bieler has discovered a new formula for happiness: Never take life to seriously- you’ll never get out of it alive. Now she is thinking very seriously of committing suicide. Mary Ann Magnus and Peggy Long are very happily married and are now touring the world. Don Harris and Bob Jones are still running around in a car. Seems they’ll never settle down, but they're happy so let them run! Beverly Odden is singing at the Metropolitan Opera House and has raised quite a name for herself! Claire Julian has somehow managed to become the editor-in-chief of the New York Sun and Reta Moore is her managing editor, and having a swell time managing everything to suit herself. Wayne Blser and Raymond Breach are part owners of a big ranch in Wyoming and are raising everything they can, including a pea-bean with which they are experimenting for the government. A mighty class, this class of 1947 and one that is not likely to be forgotten. Remembered Joys are never past- They were, they are, they yet shall be.
