ioPHOMORB Crass History Virginia Boewe John Spray On September 2, 1946, thirty-four eager freshmen gathered together in room 6 to start another year in their education. We attended an initiation party on September 27. What a mess, with lipstick and all. During the school year we lost three members, Bernadine Gillard, Lavern Haumesser, and John Strine. We gained one, Mary Cummins. We elected our class officers as follows: President .......... Vice-President...... Secretary-Treasurer Sergeant-at-Arms .... Class Adviser....... J. Clive Gillard Mary Ann Farmer Mildred Higgins ...... Don Couch ...... Mr. Brandt After much thinking we chose our class colors as blue and gold. Our class motto was “Semper Fidelis”—Always Faithful. On September 3, 1947, thirty-six came back as sophomores. We had gained four new members: Elaine Bowers, Billy Webster, Alice and Donald Wisner. We lost one member, Mary Cummins. The new officers elected were as follows: President ................................ J. Clive Gillard Vice-President ............................. Frank Pixley Secretary-Treasurer ...................... Mildred Higgins Sergeant-at-Arms..........................Verdayne Seals Class Adviser .............................. Mr. Kennard We chose as our class colors, Purple and White. Our class flower is the white rose. Our class motto is the same as last year, “Semper Fidelis”—Always Faithful. We sincerely hope that we can be faithful to our school duties, to our friends, to our community, and to our nation.
