Senior History Mathematics Problem i. 84 plus 2 - 3 equals 83 students cn May 22, 1945 This equation is not a problem from Mr. Smallwood's math class! To you, we are sure, this equation would seem nothing more than a collection of simple digits, but to us, the graduating class of 1948 , it has a far different meaning. So different and so important that we feel the solution should be divided into four parts, namely, a-b-c-d. Translated - a equals 1944 to 1945 - • b equals 1945 to 1946 - - c equals 1946 to 1947 - d equals 1947 to 1948. Let us take the first solution, or a. To explain ihis part of the problem we can only say that 84 equals the 84 original students who. on Sept. 7, 1944, came from the vast mileage of St. John Twp., to Dyer High School in search of gray matter nourishment. From this vast assortment of young hopefuls finally came a new party. The Freshman Party! The ballots showed: President. William Franklin Delano Roosevelt James; Vice-President, Gene Henry Wallace Little; Secretary of State, Norma J. Byrnes Stark; Secretary of Treasury, Bosco Henry Wallace Miller; and last but not least, Madame Beatrice Frances Perkins Hruskovich, Secretary of Labor! 1 This new party chose a pure white carnation as the emblem of their virtue, also the very modest motto, Dim, but growing brighter. And to further emphasize their newness and purity, chose the colors green and white. The ensuing year was practically unimportant, except for two private rallies, which were held in the grand ballroom at the Brick House. Congress adjourns - - summer vacation! !1 Solution b 83 - 15 plus 2 equals 70 on May 22, 1946 Reconvened for new session!!! Primary ballot count shows: President. Whitey Franklin Delano Roosevelt Ramsey; Vice-President, Marco Harry Truman Voich; Secretary of State, Jackie J. Byrnes Hauer; Secretary of Treasury. Jim Henry Morganthau Turpin; A new bill before the House!! New party member sweaters - - - Quite a day at the Brick House . This year, as last, held few exciting political events, except for the day the Cabinet members took time off to win the Boys Softball Toumies. President calls recess until September. Solution c 70 - 12 plus 1 equals 59 on May 22, 1947 Important business, special meeting of the party !!! president end his Cabinet have all resumed their duties j only four major positions being changed. Namely, Presic Marco Harry Truman Vcich; Vice-President, Jim (wasn't any) pin; Secretary of State, Paul Cordell Hull Bohney; Secretary Treasure, Betty John Snyder Dumbsky. This year proved to be one in which the party had to earn the money with which to its debts, so it meant hard work ahead. Much different than dinary political parties, we earned money by selling candy, j nants, and giving sock hops. In order to- keep with the custo entertaining, we had a Jr. - Sr. Banquet at Lake Hill Country ( including chicken and all the trimmings, dancing, and it sea to everyone, a big success. The next shindig to be given was formal dance, known as the Prom. It was held at the K. of C. room in Gary, on May 2. This was the night of nights; al brass hats and important members were there. Corsages changing dances, finding a place to eat, how well we al member!!! By the time this year came to an end. we wen worn out politicians, and well we may have been. In ord show his appreciation, the President called a recess for the mer, so that we could all recuperate and invent new sche Solution d 59 plus 5 - 4 equals 60 on May 19, 1948 The summer rolled by quite rapidly, and the last ye the reign of the original Freshmen Party is now in sessia the beginning of the year they told us that this would bej last election, so after fast and furious counting, results sha President, Paul Harry Truman Bohney; Vice-President, Marcol none) Voich; Secretary of State, Patricia G. Marshall Smith; retary of Treasury, Whitey John Snyder Ramsey. We have only one private rally which was given during the ChriJ season, in the ballroom of the Brick House . Secret Service disclosed to us that plans are underway for a banquet and this year, to be given by the present class of '49. The tint graduation is almost here and it seems as if we only started member can say that this session has been unimportant, with the basketball games, dances, scandals, and all th dinary activities. When we leave office on May 19, wo shall 1 our positions to the classes that follow, feeling sure that they fill them as we have tried to do, to the best of their ability. Page 10
