Bu Id Bonfire for I-lomeoommg We, the class of 44. have for the past nine months been under the leadership of our pres- ident. Malcolm Ripleyg vice president, Betty Lou Olsong secretary, Elaine Hovland and treasurer, Shirley Thompson. Our class ad- visor was Mr. Johnson until January when his vacancy was filled by Miss Mary Jean Bowe. Our curriculum consists of the required sub- jects of English, physical education and world history and the selective group of biology, geometry, home economics and industrial arts. Many of our class members also take part in the extra activities. Eighteen students take part in the music activities, four in football and basketball, nine are on the paper staff and two of our girls have been cheerleaders for thc past two years. In order to have a good homecoming it takes a good bon-fire and we sophomores had an excellent one this year. Although we had the misfortune of our float being destroyed before the parade, we feel it would have taken a prize for it was a huge military tank with a V for Victory and Vikings. To help our country, we began buying De- fense stamps as a class project. The rest of the high school followed our policy later in the year. Our class party was held on February sec- ond. It was a farewell party for Mr. R. B. John- son who was our teacher and class advisor. He resigned to accept a position in a defense in- dustry. As is customary. the six highest ranking girls and six highest ranking boys acted as waitresses and waiters for the junior-senior banquet. We also had the privilege of decorat- ing the gymnasium for the senior s baccalaure- ate services. '14
