There are thirty-one freshmen, nineteen boys and twelve girls. Out of four subjects there are only two that the boys and girls have together. These are math and general science. Being our first year in high school we found many things to get accustomed to. Such as, musical events and school activities. We also tossed in a lot of fun by attending school parties and working on our float, which got fourth. The sophomores also gave us a hayride which everyone enjoyed. In return we had to give the sophomores a party. Freshmen are offered a variety of subjects in- cluding agriculture, industrial arts, home econom- ics, general math, and general science. The girls who take home economics have a wide range of interesting and educational work to do and learn. They have learned the art of cook- ing breakfasts and luncheons. They also took up sewing by making themselves aprons and gathered skirts. They brought flowers to school and then learned how to arrange them most effectively. At Christmas time the high school Christmas tree was trimmed by the girls. A party was given by the freshmen girls for the kindergarten class with a circus theme. To broaden their knowledge even further they were allowed to take agriculture for a Week. They learned different carpentry, pound- ing nails and affixing hinges. They learned live- stock feeding and the difference between the dif- ferent types and breeds. Also a short course was given on the basic wiring. The vocational subjects offered to the boys are industrial arts and agriculture. The boys tak- ing shop are building cabinets, gun racks, and small tables. The agriculture boys are repairing machinery and building different farm equipment items which include, loader chutes, self feeders, and feed bunks. The boys also took a week of home economics where they learned how to sew, judging the qual- ity of clothes, getting along with others - espe- cially girls, and the last day they made ice cream and brownies and served it to the girls. Janice Huseman, Jacqueline Gustafson, Connie Haaoen, Gaylen Hinkeldey, Terry Minard One of the teachers of the freshman class is Mr. Delbert McCoy. He was born in Terril, Iowa, November 1, 1932.

Imagine yourself spending a day in Alta High School. You would find it quite easy to find a Sophomore either in or around school. The Sophomores spend their class time in English, World History, Biology, Algebra, and Home Economics. The Agriculture class is inside except for an occasional field trip. The drivers education classes are inside when learning the rules and outside to learn how to drive and to get the actual practice. Physical education classes are held outside in spring and fall and are in the gym during winter months. Extra curricular activities also have a share of the Sophomores time. There are Sophomores participating in all music activities, vocal and in- strumental. FFA, FHA, GAA, and Scarlet and Black Staff are other organizations in which Sophomores take part as active members and of- ficers. Parties are not a forgotten part of the Soph- omore class. During the year the Sophomores sponsored dances after football and basketball games. The Freshman-Sophomore party is held twice each year and each class sponsors it once.
