20 EXCALIBUR 1947 SENIOR CLASS HISTORY This year of 1947 brings to a close four years of trials and tribulations. Thus we have taken another step upward toward our goal in life. In these years we have gain- ed knowledge through our own trying experiences. Possessed of higher ideals and better judgment, we are about to venture-each one in his own separate way-into life itself. Our class officers are Robert Iones, president: Dick Kinsey, vice-president: Dolores Ann Iohns, secretary: and Philip Harris, treasurer. , The student council members this year are: Charles Finch, John Brooks, Robert Case, Carol Harvey, Elwood Hudson, Virginia Seavy, Kent Speith, Robert Iones, Rich- ard Kinsey. Senior members of the National Honor Society are: Patricia Corathers, Carol Har- vey, Marcia Fawcett, Evelyn Schaeper, Carl Tucker, Shirley Wise, Robert Iones, Har- riet 'Hall, Virginia Phillipy, Marilyn Carlo, Virginia Seavy, and Ioanne Dake. The senior class was well represented in the school clubs. Barbara Brewer was president of Y-Teens, and Harriet Hall and Betsy Feigert were on the cabinet. Ida Fleece was president of G. A. A. and Ianis4Wa1ters was a member of the cabinet, Kent Speith was president of the Hi-Y and Robert Iones of F. F. A. Besides all these activities our class has been very active in the business field. A large percentage of our class have been working during most of their four years in high school. However small our participation in sports, it was mighty and those few fellows who stuck by us deserve a lot of credit. In 1943 we entered Van Wert High School 165 strong and we are leaving with an enrollment of 114. Although our trials have been many we have also been compen- sated in many ways. With the background of a high standard school, we are pro- ceeding to the next step with our heads up and eyes toward the promising future. Through the years of school our grumblings have been frequent, but true love lies deep within us all. 9 '4' it , - -.,
