enioi Hi tory 'C' NOW WF as seniors may act as if we were never scared and wandering freshmen but we were. iSurprised7l Let s just take a glance at us as freshmen if we can stand it. Were kinda' sentimental, you know. When we were freshies, a gala celebration ffbetter known as the freshman partyl was held to acquaint all of us bashful little fellows and girlies. We left that to Miss Rottinger and winkem and we got quite well acquainted. Then, being ambitious, we won in the magazine sale drive and another party was thrown as a reward for our work, lt was a Sadie Hawkins party, What a mad scramble there was around Study Hall: Each girl was chasing a boy 'rr' ' 'Round and 'round she goes, and who she wants only she knows. That was before the mane shortage too, tsk, tsk. Innocent little freshies that we were, we managed to get into a lot of activities. Our he-men in the athletic field were Alan Blotch, Walter Finley, Richard Mauntel, and Wayne Ashley. We also had quite a few gals in the G, A. A Budding virtuosi in the music field were Wayne Ashley and Diane Miller. Also, Beverly Winter brought our class honors by naming our team l'Trojans, lanet Saunders, Bernice O'Rourke, Don Hanley, Mary Cullinain, and lanie Riegel showed their rating in the finer arts by being in the all- school play, called l'Young April. Freshman Class Officers were: Wayne Ashley, presi- dentg Alan Blotch, vice-presidentg and Walter Finley, sece retary-treasurer. Now we shall advance a step higher in education. Sophomore may mean soft in the head or foolish, but we werent iOh, NOW We had quite a rug-cutting session isophomore partyl that year. Our president, Neal Walter, was rather shy and refused to dance, but our vice-president, Bill lviclntyre, was seen on the floor quite a number of times. Ohl how things have changed. Richard Mauntel, our secretary-treasurer, wasn't spending all that party time going over books either. Wayne Ashley showed what he was made of by being on the varsity debate team, basketball team, and again be- ing outstanding in music, On the bruiser brigade of the football squad and speedy basketball team were: Richard Mauntel, Alan Blotch, Herman Bukovec, Neal Walter, and Melvin Hoerner Our contributions to the Trojan track team were Louis Koopersmith, Walter Finley, and Alan Blotcli lame and lohnnie got on the G, A, A. basketball varsity.
