SENICR Engineers of the' South High Streamliner, the Senior Class of 1947 gathered power throughout the year to keep the entire school on the right track. Back in the round house of school activity after a long summer, the new seniors raised a full head of steam in the annual fall elections, ln a campaign assembly the three hundred loudly acclaimed the efforts of the five political parties: Fearless Fosdickf' The Greatest, Uncle Ezra, Widget, Lil' Abner. The seniors then proceeded to elect lim Herrington as Chief Engineer, with lim Holwerda assisting at the throttle. Mary Bigford re- corded statistics while Bill Olson applied the brake to excessive spending. Ready with advice were Barbara Baker, Cecil Marsh, Bob Strong, Mr. Alfred Sirrine, and Mr. Iacob Brady, As the Streamliner got started on its 1946-47 trip, the class presented Snafu, a roaring three act comedy for the entertainment of all. This highly successful play was produced December 5-6 with two complete casts. lust before the stop at Christmas time, the class named the most popular boy and girl in its midst in the mock elections. They also named Betty Carlberg the South Winter Snow Queen and Lorraine Marcroft delegate to the DAR. Convention, Everybody ate and ate at the Valentine party at which Class Queen Iackie Dise handed out valentines, and a mock marriage was performed. Dressed in their cleanest overalls, the entire class gathered for the senior mixer on Ianuary 17. After a fine meal of ham and corny jokes, the lads and lassies sat en masse at the Creston-South game. The class went from one extreme to another by first dressing in old clothes for tramp day in March and then in best clothes for the first senior breakfast in May. Spring and romance and dance time came together with seniors first jigging at the annual Damsel's Drag and then swishing in formal attire at the Iunior-Senior Prom. Finally, after a long and successful trip, the Trojan Streamliner approachedthe station for another vacation. Gay seniors put on their last effort in Class Day, lune 6, to show off their talents to proud parents. Sad seniors for the last time as a class walked down the aisle to Pornp and Circumstancew in white caps and gowns at Com- mencement, Iune 13. No longer an engineer of the South Streamliner, each was now to become an engineer of the world.
