r l Grouped in the library busily formulating plans for senior social functions are the class ofHcers. Seated, left to right, are Dick Brett, secretary-treasurer, Doug Lawrence, vice-president, Bonnie Schemehorn, president, and Miss Mary Graham, adviser. Standing, left to right, are Mr. I-I. McClure, advi:erg Beach Hall, social councilg Stan Knapp, social council chairman, and Tom Jones, social council. Theyive Made Their Strike ' The '49ers have made their strike. After four 'years of hard work they have struck it rich. Gradua- tion is -the climax of their memorable days at South Side. Even though graduation for the seniors is the crossroads of schooling, the parting of friends, and the stepping off point to higher education and bigger claims, fond memories will ever hold them together. Their sophomore party, The '49ers, was one to top all parties. No senior will ever forget the tear- ing down of the decorations after they were pro- nounced a fire hazard. This, however, did not dampen anyone's spirits as a glorious time was had by all. In their junior year, their Junior Banquet, a Chi- nese Festivalg and their Junior Prom, a Garden of Romance, gave them something to cherish forever. v, The '49ers carried through the theme presented by the year of their graduation by giving their Senior Banquet the very appropriate name, The Last Round- up. Yes, this class has done many things unprece- dented in the history of the school. In choosing the class officers they elected Bonnie Schemehorn as the Hrst girl ever to hold the oHice of senior class presi- dent. To assist her, they put into office Doug Law- rence as vice-president, Dick Brett as secretary, Stan Knapp as social council chairman with Tom Jones and Beach Hall as social council members. As the senior class of 1949 passes through the portals of South Side they can look back with pride, knowing that their four years were years not spent in vain. Page 13
