Remember Our Hilarious Christmas Party . . GUESS MARY LOU THINKS IT LOOKS GOOD IT'S JOAN AND PATTY AND THE CHRISTMAS SONGU Page Sixteen SANTA NIPPER . . . And the good time all the seniors had the afternoon of December 16. The 'Who is Santa? contest caused the most pre-party interest as the potential revelers pon- dered over the weighty question. Long after Robert L. Nipper, alias Santa, had come and gone-leaving a few presents, incidentally- there were still a few in doubt. Jim Jay, the senior class prez, handled the proceedings with ease . . . and things seemed to go off like clockwork. ' A few of the afternoons happenings were- the classy warbling off: Natalie Graham and Marge Reed-the accordion duets of Patty Joy and Joan Robinson-the antics of magician first- class Dick Winchester-the ivory-pounding of Don Hopkins-and the all-important function of the refreshment committee. The gym was gaily slicked up for the affair with a Christmas tree highlighting the decora- tions Cwhich also included two tables of punch and cookiesl. Toys gathered at the door were given to Riley Hospital. The following people headed the committees for the party: Darcy DeWeese, tree and decora- tionsg Jane Karrman, gift committee: Janie Fouts, publicityg Dottie Webb, entertainmentg Nancy Miller, foodg Dick Gause, musicg Barbara Burchfield, project committeeg and Evan Parker, deck-swabbers.

How will the seniors hold their election? These are just a few of the tough problems that were handled by our Senior Council during the past two semesters. Six representatives elected from each of the four senior home rooms Cmaking a grand total of twenty-fourj had the weight of the senior class business on their manly Cand womanlyj shoulders . . . the record shows that they did a swell job. The Council handled such 'ftoughiesu as the budget, Class Day af- fairs, and graduation without trouble. Our class president, Jim Jay, kept the Council on its toes, and Miss Dorothy Peterson did the advising -when it was needed. History will show that the Senior Council did its part in keeping our Class of 1948 in line. I Senior home room teachers . . . Kenneth Peterman, Miss Dorothy Peterson, Mrs. Louise Steiger, Mrs. Henrietta Parker, Don R. Knight, and Miss Alice Hessler help seniors make out their pro- , gram cards. Page Fifteen

Our Class Day oflicers make plans for the big day fleft to rightbz Don Hopkins, will-makerg Jack Leer, giftoriang Janet Court- ney, prophetg and Anne Malone, historian. Senior Week Found Seniors Weak Our senior class prophet has been at Work. Part of our last big fling came in the Senior Week when the class officers gave way to allow the giftorian, the historian, the willmaker, and the aforementioned prophet to reign supreme. Class Day was characterized with roving seniors and the big program in Caleb Mills Hall, at which time we upperc1assmen really cut some capers. Senior Week included Annual autographing, fond farewells, and little of anything in the studying line. It's always a sign of approaching graduation . . . and there are always nostalgic memories of four l-o-n-g, hard years. Page Seventeen
