SOPHOMORE CLASS HISTORY In September, 1950 the class of ’54, which will be the first class to spend all four years in our new high school building, entered upon new paths of knowledge as green but eager freshmen. To lead us along the way, we elected the following: Lois Murray, president: Frank Holzer, vice president: Fred Hendon, secretary; and Joan Thoreson, treasurer. Miss Finley was our advisor. When we returned in 1951 as knowing and wise Sophomores, we began our second year at W. H. S. by naming Louis Schindler, presi- dent; Fred Hendon, vice president: Frank Holzer secretary; and Den- nis Pitts, treasurer. They were aided by Mr. LaDue, our advisor. The activities of our class were unlimited. The first was the initiation of the Freshmen, which we made as lively as possible for the new “Freshies”. Many of us took part in football, basketball, forensics, band and choir.

We don’t want to set world’s records, but we will leave our marks in the world somewhere. There are Freshman talents in chorus, band, cheerleading, basketball and football. We elected Janet Pedersen as president, Sylvia Sheridan as vice- president, and John Fortier as treasurer and Robert Mick as secretary. We are proud of our record this year and are looking forward to our next three years.
