This grand total of twenty-four, e la er learned, were to compose our Freshman Class of ’50 and 51. The class officers for the year were as follows: president, Jo Ann Johnson; vice- president, Beverly Monson; secretary, Joy Hult; treasurer, Marcia Moline. Members elected to the Student Council were Marci Moline, Raynee jhnson, Lauren Juracek, and Frank Olson. Class sponsor of the freshman cJass was Mrs. hermit Stuve. The freshmen had a hay-ride party and since they were ‘freshmen,’ they just had to use a jeep instead of horses. This was held on October 13, and if I know the fresh- men, ‘a good time was had by all.’ —23—
