SEN IOB CLASS IIISTIDBY As the school year of 1948 draws to a close, it is fitting that the Seniors stop to meditate-to reminisce, as it were, upon one of the happiest times of their lives, the years they have spent at Whitmer. We, as seniors, often look back with amusement at our freshman year. Since We were the largest class of freshmen up to that time,.was it any Wonder that we gazed around with dismay and wondered how we'd ever remember their names! But, to make a long story short, we did! One thing of great importance in our freshman year was the War Bond drive, in which we freshies came out S500 ahead of even the proud and haughty seniors! We sponsored the usual number of activities, an after game dance, a skating party, and an assembly lwe Won't say how good that Wasl. The dreaded exams finally came and then after what seemed only a brief respite, we were known as sophomores. We were glad to return to our friends and to take up Where We had left off imuch to our teachers' dismayi. Again We sponsored an after game dance, a skate, and an assembly. Not until We were juniors did We realize just how insignificant we must have appeared to the upper-classmen. Some very important events were to happen this year. Receiving our rings, which we considered beautiful then and now, producing A Date With Iudy which I'm sure no one will deny, was a smashing success, dancing at our prom in the beautiful Secor Hotel Ballroom to the most dreamy music-need I go further? Last the Iunior-Senior party Where We wished the seniors goodbye and good luck, and We hoped our senior year would bring many more pleasant experiences. That it did, when We made plans for our trip to Washington, the presentation of Dear Ruth and the prom at the Women's Building.
