Senior Class History John O'Leary, Rockey LindeH, Ralph Moe The Senior Class of 1948 has left behind it one of the most brilliant and active records ever achieved in one year at Weatherwax High School. Its 213 members have worked, not merely as a class organization, but as individuals helping the whole student body with their ideas—new ideas—and action. The Senior Class officers were Rockey LindeH, president; John O’Leary, vice-president; and Ralph Moe, secretary-treasurer. In athletics, the fighting spirit displayed by the Bobcat teams will long be remembered by Aberdeen’s loyal supporters. The Blue and Gold grid squad, sparked by senior letrermen, weathered a rough schedule, and in doing so produced the league's best defensive team. Aberdeen's cagers gave fans quite a thrill in their race for the league leadership. The Bobcat casaba artists came out with their strongest team since 1945. The track team raced through an equally successful season. Bob Fitzpatrick cracked a nine-year old high hurdles record as he raced the 120 yards in 15.5. The Wearherwax Athletic scene struck a note of triumph with the capture of the covered State Championship Swimming Crown. Similar achievements were made by the title-holding tennis, golf, and rifle teams. Such top showings, coupled with the fight and determination put forth in every branch of Aberdeen High athletics, added up to a fine record for the 1947-48 sports season. A first-class homecoming was one of the biggest activities of the year. The suggestion was made to the Senate by Bill Linklater, who was appointed with Russ Austin and Tom Parker, Junior, to head the general committee. The result was the sale of hundreds of badges to alumni, the election of a queen, Randi Espedal, and a Homecoming dance on Thanksgiving night, for which the whole town turned out. Don Baldwin proposed the revival of Student City Day, bringing the school wide publicity with the Student Council meeting in which suggestions relating to such matters as parking meters and traffic control, added zest and hilarity to the session. Another step for recognition was taken when the new officers of school photographer and school scribe were created, with Dell Mulkey taking the pictures and Bill Linklater handling the school’s newspaper and radio publicity. Signs advertising Aberdeen, Home of the Fighting Bobcats, were posted at the city's entrance after Russ Austin had come up with the idea at a Senate meeting. The seniors first” tradition, by which the juniors and sophomores must wait until the senior class has left all assemblies, was enforced effectively this year for the first time. A straw baUot had been taken to decide once and for all whether the rule should be followed or dropped. The question had been discussed for several terms when this year’s senate decided to take action. The junior- senior prom was revived and proved to be a great success this year, under the chairmanship of Rocky LindeH, senior class president, and George Ballasiotes, junior class president, thus assuring it a permanent place on the school calendar. Something new was added with the Graduation Ball in May, when the student body once again came out in their best suits and formals for an evening of dancing. Senior talent showed itself in Hi-Jinx, directed by Miss Erma Williams, and the annual senior play, Two Gentlemen and Verona, managed by Robert Mayne. On April 30, Virginia Reid and Bob Fitzpatrick were crowned Queen and King of the May at the annual Pep Club May Day Dance. The year’s activities ended on May 31 with a successful class night. At commencement, the graduating class and audience heard the four Senior speakers: Ted Zembal, Valedictorian; Mary Elizabeth Cottrell, Salutatorian; Virginia Reid, chosen by the faculty; and Ralph Hillier, chosen by the student body vote.
