Yes, they admit the other students shuddered, the teachers were stunned and the School Board was horrified, but they bravely continued. The end of the school year finally arrived with the cheerful thought of returning the following fall. The Sophomore class began to toll the bells for the year of 46” with the enrollment of 30 students. They liked this year better because the teachers began to agree they were human, but it was still a struggle to hold their heads up before the upper classmen. Yes. there were trips to the office for some and notes to the parents for others, but at least 24 of the more determined students finished the year. Juniors, at last they have become upper classmen. The enrollment reads 15 students remaining to carry on the hopes and dreams of the 33 students of two years ago. With graduation as their goal, their heads held high, the juniors have at last realized the important part they hold in TaHoMa High. The activities of the year for the Junior Class began with an assembly given for the rest of the school. The assembly which consisted of musical selections a nd a one-act play. “Cornin' Round the Mountain” was given December 3, 1947. The annual Junior Prom this year was one of the most important dances of the year. The date was March 19. 1948. Each and every Junior will long remember that evening as an outstanding event of their school days. The class officers for the present year are: Margie Knott, president; Betty Hedin, vice-president; Colleen Palmer, secretary, and Jim Sener, treasurer. The class feels they have had a very successful year under the excellent guidance of their advisor, Mr. Harold Heilsberg. The Juniors are looking forward to a happy, successful Senior Year.

£e uosi GIgAA, Will . . . We, the students of the Senior Class of 1948, TaHoMa High School, do hereby make, publish, and declare this to be our last will and testament upon passing through the doors of TaHoMa High School. It seems as though Sue Horne thinks the incoming freshmen would like the dingy halls, and Perry Tompkins is leaving dear old TaHoMa a fumigator. The reason of course is the smell that comes into the halls trom the chemistry room. There seems to be some feuding and fighting between the chemistry boys and the Ag boys. Maybe that explains why Dick Kleparek (a good Ag boy) is leaving his chickens to a poor starving chemistry boy and La Verne Gay is leaving the next Ag class the pants from some chemistry boy. Fred Habenicht thinks that he would like to will this school his little water hose in the chemistry room. Maybe that’s why Jack LeGrande is leaving his rain clothes to anyone who might need them. It looks like Chester Spurgeon has quite a distaste for the Ag boys. He says he’ll leave that to his brother Jack, and hopes that he’ll carry on the good work. Helen Horne seems to be a pretty lucky girl what with Nettie Comer leaving her all her boy friends except her latest one. Eilene Cox hates to depart with her pierced ears but she says she will give them to Frances W. I guess Mildred Popenoe doesn’t think that Chuck A. has enough freckles so she is giving him hers. With such beautiful red hair. I don’t see how Mildred Saftich can give her red hair to Rosalee V. Some people have all the luck. What I mean is that Irene Porter is willing her legs to Delores. Evidently Dorothy Bartholomew’ doesn't like her bangs so she wills them to Betty Hedin. Right in that line, Sonja Peterson is willing her flashy hair ribbons to Colleen P. The girls are going to be mighty lucky. Why? Because Patti McGraw is leaving her address book and it contains bodys’ addresses only. Less Collecchi must have trouble with the stencil machine. He says he’ll leave all his headaches and cussing from it to any poor sap who wants it. Don Neal wills all his arguing just for the sake of arguing to anyone w'ho wants it. Alene Sandhei seems to get quite a few headaches from the Letterette Club meetings. She wills all her headaches to anyone who wants them. David Maxw’ell seems to think that girls give him a pretty rough time. He says he’ll gladly leave that to Bob Hale. Bertha Faull must have quite a few compacts and lipsticks to be able to give them to Della A. Ralph Matthews doesn’t think he w’ill have any more use for his tuba so he is going to will it to Donald Dunlap. Seems as though Gwen Williams has a horrible habit of drinking coke and she W'ants to get rid of it so she is willing it to Marlene Radtke. It looks as though Virgil Markus is going bankrupt since he wants to will his used car business. Cookie seems to be quite a fortunate person. Why? Because Marjorie Bowman is willing to Cookie her trusty tw’o-inch pencil. Guy Belleman seems to want to be like Nettie since he is willing all his girl friends except his latest one to the Ag boys. Looks like Mr. Heidenreich will get his bicycle after all because Virginia Merett is willing him her bike and she wills her lunch pail to Marvel L. Richard Grady doesn’t think Don Dunlap is tall enough so he is willing his long legs to Don, and we do mean long. Bob Zielinski is willing his ability to stay out of trouble to the Junior class. James Keys wills the Class of “53” to TaHoMa. As if Don C. doesn’t have enough trouble, Chuck Barbero decides that he will will all his car troubles to him. Wills, wills and more wills. But here are a few more. Shirley Kovash doesn’t like to do all the blushing so she is willing all her blushing to her dear old cousin Alice G. Victor Biasotti wills Helen H. to his brother, Santo. Bill Bowman wills all his blondes to the future Ag boys. Last but not least, is Buddy Dubigk who wills his 6 feet 2 inches to Pete Peterson. Oh, we almost forgot, Herbert Reed who wills his intelligence to Dick Stone. 12 TaHoMa, ’48
