Having been here for two years we feel that we know as much about the school as the seniors. To make the freshmen feel more welcome we gave a party in their honor on September 23 in the study hall. It was decorated in green and white with Wel- come Freshmenn written in large letters. The music was furnished by Sammy Pearce's band. The freshmen entertained us with a return party on January 15, at which we all spent a very enjoyable IIIITIC. Members of our class were active in F. H. A., F. F. A., G. A. A., and Shutterbugs and some held positions as officers. Although there were only four sophomores in Jesters, two of them participated in the annual Jes- ter's play. They were Carol Hills and Paul Boltz. Carol, who was initiated into the Thespians this year, took first place in the speech contest in comedy reading and was a member of the contest play.

SEATED: Myrna Anglemier, Treasurer, Elinor Heron, Student Councilg Mary Elizabeth Larson, Secretary. The juniors began the year with a close and exciting election. Both Paul Caron and Glen Krahenbuhl were running for president. Glen, however, won over Paul with two votes. Working to earn money for the prom was the main objective of the juniors. They sold hot dogs at the foot- ball games, sold mums for Homecoming and checked coats at some of the home basketball games. The varsity squads of both basketball and football contained a large number of juniors on them. Paul Caron, Denny McCarthy, Warren Wehner and Justin Henry helped make up the basketball squad. Denny McCarthy, Warren Wehner, Gene Erickson, Paul Caron, Bob Johnson, Bob Grodeland, Glen Krahenbuhl, W'ayne Wood, Wilbur Askeland and Paul Holderness were on the football team. Four of these boys received varsity letters. Myrna Anglemier and Barbara Olson, our cheer- leaders, led the fans in many peppy yells throughout both seasons. Juniors, who were musically inclined, reported for band and orchestra at 8:45. Many of them played or sang solos for the district and state contests. They took part in the flute trio, clarinet quartets, and string en- sembles. Those who were interested in dramatics appeared in many plays throughout the year. On February 4, Sally Colwill, Elinor Heron, Faith Sage, and Peggy Oakes were initiated into Thespians. January 4th brought the juniors back from vacation sporting their new class rings. The rings have a set of white gold with a black crest. The year of their gradua- tion, 1950, is engraved on each side of the set. The prom held on May 14, was enjoyed by everyone present. The decorations featuring the Dixieland Ball were carried out in great detail. The stage-the porch of a plantation house-formed the background for the False walls of pastel shaded crepe paper orchestra. streamers and huge cotton balls hanging from the ceil- ing were novel decorations. The Negro doormen sta- tioned in the foyer performed their duties with facility. The class wishes to thank Miss Leflingwell, their spon- sor, for her generous help throughout the year and for making the Dixieland Ball such a huge success.

FIRST ROW: Norma Heather, Audrey Behrends, Norris Pierce, Nancy Friday, Robert Finkboner, Margery Behrends, Gerald Govig. Katy Helley was on the R0-To-Hi-Life staff, and Wanda Schumaker was sophomore editor of the Tatler. Luella Lazier, Frances Johnson, Carol Hills, and Gerald Govig appeared in quartets this year, and 20 per cent of the band, 30 per cent of the chorus, and 42 per cent of the orchestra were sophomores. Thirteen sophomore boys were on the lightweight football team and four on the lightweight basketball team. Buddy Cooper and Doyle Stroud were also on the Varsity teams. This year we did not have a cheer- leader to represent our class, but we hope to have one next year. Only 5.8 per cent of our class were on the honor roll. Next year we'll all work harder to bring this percentage up. We wish to thank Miss Aschermann, our sponsor, for her co-operation and guidance throughout the year. If we can pass biology, Latin II, and our forty word requirements in typing, we'll be seeing you next year as Juniors. , Sammy Pearce and his band tune up. Sophomore boys take advantage of the first spring days. Page Twenty-seve11
