After a few days ot wandering about, they began to -adjust themselves to the tasks before them. They elected capable officers to lead their class through its first year ot high school They are: Lamar Brewbaker, president, lean Van Etten, vice-president, and Louise Magnus- son, secretary-treasurer. David Westerrnan P f R l enny iaber, Pau.a Stenger, and Russell Krenz were chosen as Student Council mein- bers, The annual freshman party Was held early in the year to help the students get ar- auainted. Decorations were in green and gel low the colors chosen by the class, This year the freshmen were outstanding in many fields. The master minds' showed their ability in super salesmanshijo by topping the magazine sales. Some of the outstanding salesmen were: Mariean Brown, Thelma Wat- son, Robert Cotton, and Lee Hoffman. Con- gratulations to Mariean who was high sales- man ot the school.

B football sauad. Lamar Brewbaker stole the spotlight when his speedy work placed him on the Varsity, He received a major let- ter for his activity, In addition, Hollis Bichey played on the bas- ketball team. Al Loachs ability to handle the ball and his height placed him on the basketball Varsity. The girls were also active in sports. lean Van Etten was the freshman representative on the G. A. A. board. A large number of girls joined the association. lean was also active in speech and debate as was Thelma Watson. Others who took an interest in debate were: Betty Gehler, Penny Faber, and David Westerman. Not only were the freshmen hard workers in school, but they kept up their social interests as well. David Westerman and Dick Walter were on the Kanteen board, ln the music field the class of '48 has also started to make a name for itself. Each year in the freshman class there is always someone who wants to play a clarinet or wants to fill that empty place in the brass section. This year's class was no exception, Louise and Marguerite Magnusson, lim Van Meter, Don- ald Holdenrid, Barbara Sauer, Paula Stenger, Dorothy Wilhelm, foe Brady, loan McGladrey lohn lackson, and Norman Dewey all joined the M. T. l-l. S. band when they entered school and have been doing a fine job. However, some were not satisfied with being merely band members but were soloists in both the vocal and instrumental fields at the music contest this spring. Those who par' ticipated were: Louise Magnusson, piano Marguerite Magnusson, saxophone, Paul Shanyfelt, vocal, Donald Schmidt, vocal, Paula Stenger and Dorothy Wilhelm, baton twirling, Barbara Sauer, clarinet. Donna Prescott and Marguerite Magnusson were members of the girls' sextet, Bob Cotton and Donald Schmidt were chosen for the boys octet. As twirlers, Paula and Dorothy performed during both the football and basketball season They were dressed in identical white satin uni- forms trimmed in purple. Their smooth, ac- curate twirling awed many a spectator. A great deal of credit should be given to the class advisers, Miss Pottinger, Mr. LeMarr, and Miss Swanson. They have given their time and effort to help the freshmen get started on the road to becoming an active class
