mvrMxmrfw -, The ship sailed on, .sometimes swiftly, and then hesitantly, yet ne¬ ver getting off its course--thanks to Mrs. Winchester, its able comman¬ der. A highlight of the year was the invitation to ten Juniors to Join the Beta Club, and then initiation, followed by a weiner roast—both of which will never be forgotten. Following our predecessors, we sold mag¬ azines to help finance the Junior-Senior Banquet, and we set an all-time record of $12641 Oh, yes, remember the Christmas party at Guilford Club House? There was mistletoe, and we exchanged gifts. Then the next day Santa Claus managed through his express office to bring us the best gift of all--our class rings. The highlight of our Junior year was the Jun¬ ior-Senior Banquet held at the Bliss Restaurant. March 31st finally ar¬ rived, and with it evening dresses, corsages, and bow-ties. No longer were we high school kids—that night we were young men and women. Later in the spring our grade parents entertained the Juniors and Seniors with a formal party in the high school gym. Every good thing must come to an end, and we were having too much fun for it to last. Commencement time came and we were to have a share in Class Night for the first time. Six members of our class were chosen to be marshals. Junior year ended as we came nearer and nearer our destination--graduation. As we set sail again this year as Seniors, the bold voyage begun so long ago seemed worth-while. It seemed unusual for 31 Seniors to be a- gain in Mrs. Gamble ' s home-room, where three years ago we had been 36 eager-beaver freshmen. Our class officers this year were Bob Brown,Pres¬ ident; Rachel Smothers, Vice-Rresident; Helen Linville, Secretary; and Eleanor Hoskins, Treasurer. For the first time in the history of the school, we, as Seniors ,have the honor of publishing the first yearbook. The Sophomores gave us a tasty luncheon December 16, carrying out the Christmas theme. The Juniors weren ' t superstitious about Friday 13th, and planned the Junior-Senior Banquet for that date. However, the wea¬ therman changed it to February 17th. No one minded because it turned out to be a perfect night for the lovely Valentine Banquet at the Bliss Banquet Room. We exchanged hearts in more ways than one, and no one ' s was broken. Now Is The Hour brought tears to our eyes, as this our last and lovliest banquet, came to an end. Many members of our class have shared individual honors this year. The annual Popularity Contest was won by Rachel Smothers. Helen Linville was chosen the D. A. R. Good Citizen to represent our school, while Bob Brown captured the Civitan A- ward. When the class parts May 28th, ' 48, each of us will carry with us these memories of the fun,work, and disillusions which made us the class we are. In the future may we remember our four happy years together, and may each be glad to say of the other, He was a member of the Class of •48. Class of 48
