SENIOR CLASS HISTORY In the year of 1945 the class of 1949 began their freshman year with 21 mem- bers who were as follows: Ruby Sprowls, Patsy Hull, Jake Devine, Robert Preston, Richard Cole, Marianne De May, Marilyn Madsen, Gene Andersen, George Van Loo, Jackie Thomas, Dauphine Sipes, Harry Barton, Patty Dean, Miriam Arm- strong, Betty Hasbrook, Roberta Friend, Josephine Hortega, Donald Van De Keere, Delbert Shambaugh, Doris Fox and Del- mar Peed. Soon after opening day the class officers were elected as follows: Patsy Hull, president, Richard Cole, vice president, and Ruby Sprowls, secretary- treasurer. Mr. Schwind was elected as class adviser. During this year the fresh- men had representatives in many activ- ities. Two girls, Ruby Sprowls and Mari- anne De May, were in the ensemble and the former sang a solo at the district con- test and received third place. Many of the freshman boys began their athletic activities during this year. A group of freshmen put on a dramatic play for the Dramatic club. In December of this year Bud Giltner, an old classmate, returned. In September of 1946 they met as sophomores. Four of the former class- mates did not return. They were as fol- lows: Doris Fox, Robert Preston, Delmar Peed and Delbert Shambaugh. The new officers were Bud Giltner, president, George Van Loo, vice president, Roberta Friend, secretary, and Ruby Sprowls, treasurer. Mrs. Harlan was selected class adviser. Again during the year the class was well represented in the various ac- tivities. In the ensemble there were two girls, Ruby Sprowls and Patsy Hull, both entered as soloists in the music contest. One of the boys, George Van Loo, made the varsity basketball team. On the eve- ning of November 8, 1948, they had their dance, and the usual class parties were held later. P As juniors they returned in September of 1947 and elected the following offi- cers: Richard Cole, president, Dauphine Sipes, vice president, Patsy Hull, secre- tary: and Marianne De May, treasurer. They went to Princeton bowling on their class party. Mr. Schwind was elected the class adviser, and with his help the class of 1949 put on a spectacular prom for the seniors. This year ,proved to be a very active year for the iunior class. This year there were five girls in the en- semble, they were: Ruby Sprowls, Patty Dean, Dauphine Sipes, Miriam Armstrong and Patsy Hull. Two of these girls enter- ed as soloists, they were Dauphine and Patsy. The class was well represented in the various fields of sports. The class put on a play called Almost Eighteen dur- ing the year. Throughout the year the class gained four new members as fol- lows: John Hurley, Duke Malmquist, Bet- ty Van Meir and David Lanphere. As 1948 came along 18 seniors re- turned, three members having left the school. The class officers were elected as follows: George Van Loo, president, Bud Giltner, vice president, Ruby Sprowls, treasurer, Marilyn Madsen, secretary. Mr. Schwind was again chosen for the class adviser. The seniors chose The Professor Proposes as their senior play which they presented November 16, 1948. The first class party was a combination hay ride and picnic. The seniors are looking for- ward in the near future to another class party, the iunior-senior prom, and the senior trip which they will take at the end of this school year., In many ways this year has proved more active than last. As always before the class was well represented in everything. There are four girls in the ensemble, they are Ruby Sprowls, Dauphine Sipes, Roberta Friend and Patsy Hull. Three of these girls and David Lanphere are in the mixed octet. The boys represent the class well in all of the various athletic activities.
