SesUon. GlcUA, cMiAt uf, Seniors, yes, at last we have reached our first goal in life as our first 12 years of school are over. Twelve years, that’s a long time when we stop to think of it. Yet each and every year holds some memory which will linger for many years to come. Especially our four years of high school together. The crazy and unearthly things we did. which kept our teachers wondering if we were human or not. Remember how we began our Freshman year like a batch of 33 proud chickens strutting around the halls of TaHoMa? Of course after initiation was over, as everyone noticed, we felt like someone had clipped our wings. Mrs. Prall. our class advisor, must have had some hope for us, for she finished out the year. Hmmm, I wonder if she ever recovered? The class officers for this beginning year were: President, Russell Richardson: Vice-President. Bud Plischke; Secretary, Rosie Phillips and Treasurer, Margie Knott. Bottom row, left to right: Vice President Alice Grady; President. Dolores Vaiente. Top row, left to right: Secretary, Frances Wisniski; Treasurer, Desma Taylor. We really did have a lot of trouble that year, what with convincing the 8th graders that we were upper classmen now and trying to keep out of the seniors’ way. Boy, that was a job. Some of us made names for ourselves by holding club offices, while the rest of us spent our time holding down the principal’s office. That’s the way life goes, you know, someone gets caught every time! Sophomores, well at least 30 of us bounced out of the school busses to get our heads together and lay forth some drastic plan of destruction, just to keep the school term from being dull, you know. Mr. Bohtlingk. our class advisor, was a patient, strong-minded man, thank goodness for that. He helped us over the rough spots and when we thought things looked as bad as they could, he would just laugh and say, Well, you could be Freshmen again, you know. It seems funny, but that cheered us up every time. A great deal of our class work was taken care of by our Sophomore class officers: President, Margie Knott; Vice President, Dolores Vaiente; Secretary, Beverly Weimer and th Tereasurer was Glen Larson. September, as TaHoMa reopens for the school year of ’47-’48. only 15 Juniors came that first day. Well, we hoped the others wouldn’t be too late and we settled down to work. As the days went by it finally dawned on us the rest were not only late—they were absent. Yes, it was true, only 15 strong little studens made up the Junior class. Oh. of course the other classes whispered that with a class like ours only the strongest could survive, but we never let that bother us. In our opinion we enjoyed a very successful school year. The first outstanding activity was an hour assembly given for the rest of the school. There were musical selections and a one-act play entitled Cornin’ Round the Mountain,” after which we acted like a bunch of Hill Billies for weeks to come. Speaking of outstanding events, how about our Junior Prom which was given March 19, 1948? I think we will always remember the theme Woodland Fantasy” by picturing the beautiful green trees, which circled the dance floor and that huge harvest moon which gave just the perfect light. Colleen Palmer and Bud Plischke led the Senior Class of 48 to their graduation. This was rather a sad night for the Juniors, as we all stopped to realize just how much we would miss the Seniors. The class officers for this year were: President, Margie Knott; Vice President, Betty Hedin; Secretary, Colleen Palmer, and Treasurer, Jim Sener. Our Senior class consists of 13 dignified, well-mannered students or at least that’s what the rest of the classes believe, but little do they know what goes on in our class meetings. We find that now we have more headaches this year than in the past 11. Smile Pretty.” You guessed it—Senior pictures. It took us three hours that morning to get ready and in two minutes it was over. Oh! pardon us. we mean the click was over, but the moans and groans of the results will probably continue for months to come. Action! Boy, what action was needed to put over the Senior Play. “Oh Promise Mee,” given the night of November 19. 1948. This is one play we will never forget and we hope the community around us will long re- member it as a symbol of our class. We like our class as it is never dull. In fact if there isn't something of great interest going on around us there is always some poor human getting caught in his neighbor’s locker door. There is always something that needs patching up. If it isn’t human, it’s some friendship that must be repaired. Ah, yes. never a dull moment. Now the students who are carrying the responsible jobs of class officers for the year are: President, Dolores Vaiente; Vice President, Ailce Grady; Secretary, Frances Wisniski and Treasurer. Desma Taylor. Dim lights, the sweet frangrance of lovely corsages and soft music all combined perfectly with the theme Enchanted Garden” for our Senior Ball. The date as we all remember so well, was January 14, 1949. Graduation, formals and all that’s the final item on our list of happy school memories. We all thank Mr. Moore for his excellent guidance in our happy, successful Senior year. The code for the class of 49 after graduation: Kiss your school days good-bye Hold your head up high Look out, success. Here We Come! !
