SENIOR CLASS HISTQRY Classmates-Here, freshly revised anzl rearranged, is an attempt to tell, truly and clearly, the tales of our happy school days. We passed, quickly, through the elementary grades and looked forward with much anticipation to the day when we would climb the stairs to high school. That long awaited day came in September 1940. On our first day upstairs, we went to room 27, which was to be our homeroom for four additional years. Mr. Bright, who was to bring us through our first tedious year of high school, was our advisor. We elected class officers for the first time in our history. They were: President ............... .. .,..,....... Marvin Schonour Vice President ...,.... .,.,......r.,.,.............

They were two dances and a class play. Our first dance, The Snow Frolic was held December 7, 1944. This dance proved the Juniors' ability as decorators. The profit from this dance was S84.00. Our second dance was the Emanon dance which, also, boosted the class treasury. The Junior play, Shrubbery Hill , given this same year, was a success. The profit made on this play was S130.00. Our social activities for that year were a combined doggie roast and skating partyg also, a hayride, with the Seniors of 45 , as our guests. With fond memories We departed from our Junior year With many plans for our Senior year. Imago I946
