SENIOR CLASS HISTORY 73? The senior class of 1942 came to South Beloit High School in the fall of 1938. There were 86 freshmen in this class. The class officers elected for this year were as follows: Delyla Rice, president, Wilbur Briscoe, vice president, Dale St. Iohn, secretary, and Ervin Smith, treasurer. The highlight of this year was their initiation by the sophomores, an event which was a big success. In their sophomore year the class was reduced to 64 members. The high spot of this year was their initiation of the freshmen. The class officers for this year were Ervin Smith, president, Ieanette Allen, vice president, Dale St. Iohn, secretary, and Ioe Natale, treasurer. ln the junior year of 1939-1940 the class had dwindled down to 47, approxi- mately half of the original number. The main event of the year was the junior- senior prom. Much credit in the drive for sufficient funds was given Vito Saladino, the financial manager, who had charge of the sale of pop, candy, and tickets for the various events. The king of the Prom was Ervin Smith, who with Delyla Rice as his queen, led the grand march the night of the Prom. The class officers for the year were Ervin Smith, president, Wilbur Briscoe, vice president, Delyla Rice, secretary, and Mae Osmond, treasurer. We were now all looking forward to our senior year. The senior year came in a hurry and brought 39 members with it, less than half of the big class of 86 that started four years ago. The highlight of the senior year, of course, was commencement. The exercises were held May 29 with 38 members of the class participating. Delyla Rice was our valedictorian and Mae Osmond our salutatorian. Those in charge of the class this year were Ervin Smith, president, Mae Osmond, vice president, Delyla Rice, secretary, and Lorraine Letheby, treasurer. We of the class of 1942 wish to say good luck to all the future classes in the school. T65 i .... ,Qi Km' - ,Q A Y flTI l fl. Q. Y if fourteen
