Last year, when we were freshmen, we were a class of 71. Patricia Cox was our president: Thomas Schullo, vice-president: Lawrence Mickelson, secretary: Betty Lou Lohman, treasurer: and Ix is Brandt, coun- cil representative. Miss Margaret Rehmer was our adviser. The most important social event was the senior-freshman party on September 12. We were well represented in music, athletics, and speech activities. We came through last year with fly- ing colors and started school on Septem- er 4. 1942, determined to keep up last year’s record. Again we were active in extra-curricular activities as we were repre- sented by twelve members in ” ( ilee Club, seven in Mixed Chorus, seven in Boys’ (Tee Club, and a large number in hand. The football squad was augmented bv several sophomores. Dean Erickson, I-awrence Mickelson, David Sandberg, and Jack Zezza were on the “A” team in basketball. Six of our classmates took part in sj eech activ- ities. The social events of our class centered around three social hours where we had fun trying to improve our dancing. You have other places to go now. Hans, hut come hack next year when we are juniors. 26
