SENIOR CLASS HISTORY We began a new and exciting life in the fall of 1942 as we entered the portals of South Beloit High School. We green fresh- men numbered 65. Richard Youngwith was elected Presidentg Evelyn Carlson, Vice Presi- dentg Betty Whittemore, Secretary, and Audrey Grieves, Treasurer. Our class spon- sor was Miss Norcross. The main event of our first year was our initiation. In our sophomore year the freshman class was reduced to 53 students. The most out- standing event of the year was the sophomore dance. As a result of our election of class oflicers, Ralph Fulton became Presidentg Pat Pfeiffer, Vice President: Audrey Grieves, Secretary, and Valeria Martell, Treasurer. Miss Feirer CMrs. Fullerj and Mr. Chenette were sponsors. The third important step in our new life came as we entered our junior year. We juniors were kept busy throughout the entire year. One of the first events was our play, Romance Comes to Willie Parker. Next came our junior-senior prom and banquet. Our leaders for this year were President, Bill Karty: Vice President, Helen Perryg Secretary, Charlotte Guerin, and Treasurer, Don Cornwell. Mrs. Smith and Miss Feirer fMrs. Fullerj were our sponsors. We now numbered 46. As our senior year rolled around, we num- bered 4l3 and our new and exciting life came to an end. We were no longer the l'green newcomers we had been four years earlier. The most important events of this year were our senior trip and commencement. In charge of our class were Ralph Fulton, Presi- dent, Joyce Lamb, Vice Presidentg Audrey Grieves, Secretary: Don Cornwell, Treas- urer. Our class advisors for this year were Miss Norcross and Miss Porter. Ovur greatest achievement was our class play, Poor Dear Edgar. Thus we left the portals of South Beloit High School. C LASS PROPH ECY It's an early Sunday afternoon as we three are nibbling at our lunch. Pat made the remark that, now after live years of being out in the world on our own, we ought to see how far we had come. When we stopped and thought about it for awhile, it was really amusing to find how each one of us had chosen the roads that we have. Thinking back, we remembered reading the announce- ment of Helen Perry's wedding to her one and only cadet, and that Joyce Lamb and her favorite junior friend stood up for them. To repay them, Helen and Gerald promised to stand up for Joyce and this little junior. Come to think of it, the wedding took place last Tuesday. As I reached in my purse for some nickels for the jukebox, I pulled out a small card 16 which had on it: Come One, Come All- To See the Fiery Brady Ball. Naturally we thought this funny, and laughed. It is re- markable to see how far Alice has advanced in this strange and confused world of ours. Of course we musn't forget her dancing part- ner, who is none other than the graceful Dick Bowles himself. It is rumored that they do Ballet on the side to earn a little more extra change to put in their bank for the future, which will be in the name of Mr. and Mrs. Richard Bowles. This last statement is supposed to be a secret, so please don't tell a soul. Don is still soda-jerking here at Jack's, but it's a sad case really, for Don no longer holds the girls with that young and boyish expression of his. It seems that age can do The 1946 Blackhawk
