FRESHMEN In the fall of ’42 the “green, bewildered freshmen” entered our sacred portals and became a part of our school life. For their first year in high school, they chose Neil Piper, president; Kenneth Johnson, vice-president; Marilyn Robinson, secretary; and Shirley Dale, treasurer. Their Student Council representatives were Donald Smith and Darlene Larson. Miss Gracen and Mr. Bidner helped them become acquainted with the routine of school life. Neil Piper was the manager of the basketball team. During the year, each class gave a pep meeting, the freshmen giving theirs on February 12, before the Milford game. Joyce Heacock, Pat Henry, Darlene Larson, and Marilyn Robinson appeared regularly on the honor roll.
