They were Mr. Hanson, the new coach and our world history teacher, and Miss lrle our typing teacher. Mrs. Doran was our biology and English teacher. The class officers were the some as in our freshman year. The 1953-54 school year sees us with another new pupil who transferred from Emerson. His name is LeRoy Treft. However, our small class failed to grow for John Eastman enlisted in the marines. Ouriunior year again brought some new teachers. Mr. ,Strasburg replaced Mr. Slosson as the school superintendent. Miss lrle is no longer with us and in her place is Mrs. Wagner who teaches us bookkeeping and shorthand. Our other subiects are: American literature taught by Mrs. Doran, American problems taught by Mr. Hanson, and shop for the boys also taught by Mr. Hanson. We put on a class play entitled Hillbilly Courtship which was a success for we made quite a bit of money and did not do too bad a iob of acting. We are trying to raise money for the Junior-Senior banquet. Our class officers are: David Nelson , president, Rex Pigg, vice-president, Rosaline Bates, secretary and Dean Mongar, Student Council.
