fluttiori One beautiful morning in the Fall of 1942, we began our long four year journey to Knowledge. We will now admit that we didn’t exactly know which way to start or what to do because we were only Freshies. We soon discovered that we weren’t alone, because we met many other companions beginning the same journey. Among them were Miss Wieland and Mr. Boswell, who had been appointed as travel guides of our Freshmen troop. One of our group, Charles Stump, lettered both in basketball and football. The following girls received their first local awards for their interest and cooperation in high school activities: Rholene Hermann, Pat Chaffee, Lois Keeling, Nancy Carter, Joan Bock, Peg Thomas, Bonnie Nelson, Norma Lee Hey and Fala Bowers. Because of the heat, travel became impossible so we decided to rest until fall. When we began again in September of 1943, we went forward believing, now that we were old hands, that things would go a lot better this year, (but that was before we became better acquainted with our Biology course). We hadn’t gone far when it was suggested that we elect leaders, so at a class meeting we chose: President, Dorothy Boland; vice president, Willard Gelwick; secretary-treasurer, Delma Jones. We took part in various activities. Our class was represented at the District Music contest by Norma Ankrom, Marjorie Arendt, Hilda Carlyon, Dorothy Boland, LaRhue Fisher, Margaret Goldsmith, Ingram Yoder and Pat Chaffee. Sophomore G.A.A. girls receiving their first local awards were Donna Mae Hilgenfeld and Carol Kent-topp. Those who earned the second local awards were Pat Chaffee, Lois Keeling, Nancy Carter, Peg Thomas, Bonnie Nelson, Norma Lee Hey, Fala Bowers, and Rholene Hermann. Norma Lee Hey was elected as an officer of the G.A.A. Jim Dunn represented our class as cheerleader. We were also well represented in sports: Cecil Bennett, Willard Gelwick and Charles Stump lettering in football, and Willard Gelwick in basketball. With all these achievements we showed that besides gaining in intelligence we had begun to appreciate that on this journey of life 0%C4t n f, there is a great need of service, leadership and cooperation of all. We traveled on until one day we came to this sign, “Three months’ vacation; detour to Junior Highway.” The next year we met together and elected as our leaders Hilda Carlyon, president; Duane Tubach, vice-president; and Pat Babb, secretary-treasurer. John Zorn and Norma Ankrom were elected to serve on the Student Council. Again we were well represented in the various organizations. The first local award was presented to Hilda Carlyon; second local awards were presented to Donna Mae Hilgenfeld and Carol Kentopp. The G. A. A. first state award went to Pat Chaffee, Lois Keeling, Nancy Carter, Joan Bock, Peg Thomas, Bonnie Nelson and Norma Lee Hey. Norma Hey again served as an officer of the G. A. A. The class elected Marge Arendt as the Junior cheerleader. Willard Gelwick, Cecil Bennett, John Zorn and Kenneth Morehead lettered in football; Willard Gelwick and Joe Gillis-pie in basketball. Ingram Yoder, Donna Mae Hilgenfeld, Lois Keeling, Norma Ankrom and Margaret Goldsmith represented us at the state district declamatory contest at which Margaret Goldsmith was chosen as the outstanding actress in Class A. The Junior play, “Faith, Hope and Flarity”, was presented under the direction of Miss Margaret Malony December 8th with the cast: Mary Lee Stout, Peggy Thomas, Carl France, Willard Gelwick, Margaret Goldsmith, Neal S c h e i t e 1, Norma Ankrom, Duane Tubach, Tom Kallos, Marge Arendt, Dwaine Pupkes, Marvin Scheitel and Pat Babb. With many of the juniors going to the District Music contest, we felt that we had again taken a step toward completing our high school career with flying colors. We stopped off at the Prichard Memorial Auditorium one evening to give a banquet to our upper classmen, all of whom are planning to leave us to travel on foreign highways. Soon we are to take that annual rest again. After overcoming all obstacles, including final exams, we are sure we will be looking forward to the last quarter of our course. DOROTHY BOLAND.
