Senior Class History (Continued)
The Sophomore year seemed unlucky as we lost so many of our members, including Jewel Rash, Lyle Houser, Lynn Galloway, Dewey Purdue and Verne Bisbee, but Gerald Babbitt joined us. There was not only a big change in the class, but also a great change in the Faculty. Mr. Frink took Mr. Alspaugh's place, Miss Carrie E. Wickoff became principal and Mr. Vincent P. Mercer took Mr. Molton's place.
Bertha Swarens dropped out during the Junior year, but Roland Jones made up for the loss in numbers. The only change in the Faulty was that Mr. Cox replaced Mr. Frink as Superintendent.
This year, our last and most important one we were again deserted by several of our members. Our class dwindled down to only ten with the loss of Lawrence Babbitt, Ward Scott, Norris Pilling and Roland Jones. Matrimony claimed our former sponsor Mrs. Ruby McCready, nee Ellerman, and she was replaced by Miss Margaret Whistler, but according to custom, the Superintendent Mr. Cox became our advisor for the year before we take the final plunge into "life's school." A new coach in the person of Mr. Ray C. Fall has helped us to get a new conception of the game of basketball and all 'round goodfellowship.
SENIOR CLASS PROPHECY
Twenty years from Now. 1946 ? ?
On a beautiful day in early autumn, 1946, I decided to take a trip to wear off an attack of the summer blues. Starting East, I stopped at a friend's house in New York City for a fortnight. We attended a vaudeville show one evening and to my astonishment, who was the leading dancer but Elaine Babbitt, known as "Joe" back in our high school days. She seemed to have a wonderful position and was happy in her work.
