SENIOR CLASS HISTORY rl V The Class of f52 started their high school career In September 1948 with 23 members. The class, with the help of Mrs. Warwick as Class Advisor; Betty Ann Omo, Pres.; Ernest Shilling, Vice Pres.; Barbara Patten, Sec.; Ed Keller, Trees., had a very successful year. The first activity of the class W8s a fine Initiation and party given In our honor by the Sophomore Class, fcater on in the year we chose candidates for King and Queen for the Midwinter Carnival, Although our candidates were unsuccessful we had a lot of fun trying to get them elected by selling votes. Eighty per cent of the money from the voting and the Carnival was turned over to the Community Building Fund. We began our Sophorore year by electing LeRoy Baker, Pres.; Ed Keller, Vice Pres.; Charlene Cox, Sec.; Charles Doolittle, Trets.; and then initiating the Freshmen. For novelty we had therr dress as Mother Goose Rhyme characters. After the fun we treated them, to a little party. Another event of the year was the Halloween Carnival which ended with a happy tired group of Sophomores. The rest of the year was very busy but rather uneventful. To lead us in our Junior year we elected Barbara Patten, Pres.; LeRoy Baker, Vice Pres.; Ethel Tobey, Sec.; Dari Klinganan, Trees.; Betty Ann Omo, Stud. Council; Iva Richfield, Reporter;. Mr. Pobbe was our Class Advisor. LeRoy Baker was elected Pres, of the Student Council. Our first money making project was the sale of magazines which gave our treasury a much needed lift. We chose our class rings and they were here before Thanksgiving. We had fun decorating the booths at the Halloween Carnival although we didnTt have much to show for it. Our Junior Play Star Crazy was presented on April 13. The setting for the play was a summer day in an astronomers study. The highlight of the Junior year was the Junior-Senior Banquet and Prom honoring the Senior Class. The theme was May Flowers ; the banquet tables were decorated with spring flowers and the gym with a maypole in spring hues. To climax our Junior year we assisted the Seniors with baccalaureate and decorated the Gym for graduation. Fourteen of those lowly, green, freshmen of September, 1948, along with two class members added along the way, have at last earned the coveted title Senior . The Job of leading those 16 to a successful goal fell to Lavon Klingamsn, Pres.; Iva Richfield, Vice Pres.; Charles Doolittle, Treas.; Betty Ann Omo, Sec.; Barbara Patten, Student Council Rep.; and Mr. Robbe, Class Advisor. To keep the public informed, Dorene Olds was elected Reporter. From our slate of nominees for a Student Council Office Don Jordon was elected Treas. The Halloween Carnival proved to be a greater success this year than in other years. Maybe because more of the class members helped with the work end of the project. The Senior Play All Gummed Up was a story of the hilarities of government restrictions during war time. The play took place in a candy factory with a rather odd staff, which almost proved the downfall of the company. The play was presented on a very appropriate date, December 7. Our next big project was the publishing of this annual. On our Senior trip we expect to see the great expanses of water that border the State of Michigan. We will leave Holland on May 30 for Chicago. After a short visit in Chicago we will travel to Detroit via the Great Lakes and Mackinaw Island. Our group has become slightly smaller during the year. Ann Woodman moved to Athens and Charlene Cox left school.
