Boy Meets Girl I didn't get to meet Mike until three whole weeks later than usual this year. Because of the polio epidemic school started late-on September 23, 1946. An enrollment of 1,018 marked the beginning of the new semester, and the following new teachers joined the staff during the year: Frances Bolton, Mar- garet Davis, Edith Gable, Norman Hillyer, Mary Krouse, Lillian McCaslin, Dora Parse, Irene Johnson, Willie Rautenstraus, Betty Ross, Elizabeth Tomlinson, and Ella Haubold. The long list of cheerleaders included Bar- bara Norrish, Sandra Smith, Lewis Greenly, Norman Clerk, Boonie White, Norma Otava, and Harold Alexander. Rosy Weingardt be- came the Booster-Cheerleader mascot. Trojanews started off with a large staff under the co-editorship of Barbara Frank and Mary Jo Brown. I met Mike in the new Creative Writing class. It was a good thing for me they started it. He asked me for our first date to the football game, which was well attended although Longmont later took a cellar posi- tion in the conference. The band performed regularly at the half with a number of spec- ial features. At our first dance, well! Natch! I was there with Mike, who had gone first to the football banquet given by the senior girls. Pat Herber was crowned football queen by Dane Graves, football captain. To celebrate air-mail week the local postal department sponsored an essay contest and the winners-Verlee McCoy, Lois Reynolds, and Rudolph Johnson-writing on the topic, Wings of a Nickel, received free airplane rides. I shall never forget the Junior Halloween dance, as Mike gave me his class ring there and the dance was really a lot of fun too. This year the annual play, Ghost Wanted, was presented at a time when- traffic was hindered by the worst snow storm we had had in many years, but the audiences were large nevertheless. With all the snow this year as with a lot of the other student body I decided to take up skiing, with Mike's help of course. More fun, more spills! During one of the snow storms the national coal strike gave us more skiing opportunities, as school was dis- missed for a Week-nice unexpected vacation. The impressive Christmas Assembly pre- sented by the Music and Speech departments with a beautiful panel made by the Art de- partment really put me in the spirit of Christmas and so did the annual Booster Christmas dinner. How to Stop Highway Murder was the topic of the Rotary essay contest in which Gayle Thomas and Louis Pennock were award- ed radios. It was after the Snowball, fWinter Car- nivall where Ed Dworak, president of the at L. H S. 1946-7 student body, crowned Jane Jones Snowball queen with Betty Seewald and Sue Paper her attendants, that Mike asked me to go steady so of course there is a star around that event in my memory book. Since Mike and I are going steady, we took in the Advanced Speech Class play, The Fool, which had quite an unusual plot for our high school play, but the cast did exceptionally well and the audience was much impressed. Elks' scholarship contest was won by Bar- bara Anne Frankg Verlee McCoy and Dwight Wederquist came in second and third in the highly competitive contest. We were all very pleased when Shirley Rasmussen was chosen for the D. A. R. rep- resentative. Mike had a lot of fun teasing me about the way the G. A. A. skunked the Boosters in their annual basketball game. The Girls Ath- letic Association also sponsored a couple of socials for the Junior High who really let their hair down and had a rip roarin' good time at them. The Junior High were also active and successful in their annual maga- zine selling contest. Mike and I both enjoyed the many Band, Orchestra, and Choir concerts which have won much acclaim through their many outstand- ing performances this year. The Colorado University Choir assembly was one of the best received programs of the year. My! but Mike and I had fun at the sopho- more dance, King's Kapersj' where Charles Wolfe was pronounced King, Don Bennewitz and Wayne Coates were his attendants, and the decoration were really something to see. John Laber and LeRoy Schlagel were hon- ored wlth trips to Kansas City for outstand- ing Future Farmers of America Work. The Y-teens were quite active under the sponsorship of Miss Hobbs and Miss Nelson. Another feather in L. H. S.'s cap was the four National Forensic League firsts won by Donnis Lundering, Bruce Baker, Jeane Brill- hart, and Barbara Anne Frank. Later Bar- bara Anne and Arthur Taylor represented Longmont at the Oklahoma International Meet. I was really worried one night when Mike came to the Jitney late but I was relieved when I found out he had been to the Basket- ball Banquet put on by the sophomore girls, where Danny Martinez was elected basketball captain. Now it is time to close the year's record and go to press. Our hearts grow a little sad as we look forward to tennis, track, the senior play, Trojan Day, the Junior-Senior Prom f In Old Madrid, being the themej then on to the Farewell Assembly, Baccalaureate, Class Night, and the Senior Picnic, adding up to that long awaited moment of moments- graduation!
