Eleventh Grade History In the fall of '45 the class of ’49 started in their ninth grade as freshmen in A. H. S. Joe Engles was elected president with Wylene Owens and Margie Beckman to assist him. With the help of Miss Lutz everyone got off to a fine start. Since there were a lot of new people in the class, they all went on a hay-rack ride to get acquainted. In the spring another party was given, this time a scavenger hunt. The kids divided in groups and looked for such things as nylon stockings and clothes pins. When the students returned to begin the tenth grade, they again elected their officers — Wayne White, president; Neal Thomas, vice-president; and Shirley Hinds, secretary and treasurer; with Miss Lutz as the sponsor. The industrious sophomores had two parties again this year; a party with “Winkem-Blinkim” as the main entertainment; and a dance in the spring to bid farewell to their sophomore year. This year there are 55 juniors around the school. They began the year by choosing officers; Tom Wolfe, president; Beverly Grant, vice-president; and Betty Flack, secretary and treasurer. The first big doings of the year was a picnic supper served out on the practice field. Then everyone went inside and danced. Then interest turned to the class play, “Stranger in the Night.” which was a real success. In the spring the juniors decided to go on a roller-skating party. One cold snowy night they started out-------something tells me we should drop the subject. Anyway, those that went had a good time. The first few days in March the juniors began having several mysterious class meetings and it seemed that the juniors loved school so much they even came up in the evenings. But the seniors soon found that they were preparing for one “Last Roundup.” Every junior worked very hard to make a success of their Banquet and Prom. Miss Pfister, their sponsor, certainly didn’t just sit around and watch, either! In a few weeks the juniors will be promoted and returned next fall as seniors. We think they will make a swell senior class.
