 On September 6, 1943, a group of bewildered freshmen gathered on the lawn of St. Edward High School. These confused and perplexed freshies were destined to become the Class of '47. The fatal day of initiation was bound to come when we least expected it, and, when it arrived, we were met at the door by seniors wielding jars of paint which was applied to our faces in grotesque designs. Although initiation was somewhat of a frightening experience, it made us feel more a part of the high school. At our initial class meeting we voted unanimously for Kelly Green and White as our colors, the White Rose for our flower, and as our motto we chose: IB “We have crossed the bay, the ocean lies before us. Later we presented our banner to the president of the Senior class. On February 17, we were given a party by the Sophomores and later held our own class party. Our Sophomore year proved quite uneventful except for the traditional party for the Freshmen. In our Junior year on November 30, a well chosen cast under the direction of Mr. Benton, displayed their talents in the class play, “The Redheaded Stepchild. Our next major project was the annual style show which we presented in April. Many hours of preparation and hard work made this a success. We chose Blossom Time for our theme. In May we presented the Junior-Senior banquet which was a gala affair with a‘night club theme, Stork Club. The last episode of our Junior year was ordering our class rings. September of '46 found us as the upper classmen of S.E.H.S. Two veterans, Leslie Dill and Stanley Goodman, joined our class. We officiated at the initiation of the Freshmen with pomp and showy display; an initiation that some freshies will never forget. In the first part of October we received our class rings—beautiful in design, sparkling as a diamond. October 23 found us journeying to Albion, Nebraska, to have our pictures taken. Many Christmas and Valentine gifts were settled by the photographer. The extensive job of printing the annual, our next assignment, proved a worthy one, because it will preserve our four years of friendship with S.E.H.S. For our class party, we chose a hay ride and weiner roast in the bluffs east of St. Edward. Many new hearts were discovered under the stars. On April 8, the class participated in the style show Fairyland Revue when we set our best foot forward garbed in the latest styles. A hilarious comedy in three acts, Special Delivery, showed off the dramatic talents of the graduating class on April 29. The following day, we Seniors took time off for Sneak Day and visited business establishments, Union Pacific Museum, Joslyn Memorial, and Boys Town in Omaha. Sunday, May 11, the Baccalaureate sermon was presented by Rev. Carl O. Carlson of Salem Lutheran Church. This evening commenced our last seven days in St. Edward High School as seniors of the Class of '47. The outstanding Senior Class Night was prepared and presented to the public two nights later. This entertaining and comedy-filled hour was enjoyed by everyone. On the fifteenth, Dr. Allan Burkhardt of Norfolk stirred us to seek the open fields of knowledge by his commencement speech. Thus terminated our memorable and unforgetable four years in St. Edward High. Hardly any other phase in our lives will ever erase our memories of our dear school. SENIOR CLASS HISTORY -10-
