STUDENT COUNCIL Front Row, left to right: Wallace Strom, Pat Fitz- sinlmns, Helen Doyscher, Ross Muir. Second Row: Russell Kately, John Tobola, Phyllis Kielblock, Robert Ackerman, Donald Ryberg. The student council is the legislative de- partment of the student body. In their hands the fate of the students lies, for they decide on matters of importance at hand, including: charity drives, parties etc., and homecoming. This year the senior class was represented by council president, Pat Fitzsimmons, Ross Muir and Wallace Strom. The juniors chose Phyl- lis Kielblock, secretary-treasurer, Donald Ry- berg, vice-president, and Russell Kately. Helen Doyscher, John Tobola and Robert Ackerman, sophomores, completed the council. The student council is elected by secret ballot by members of each class. The student council had charge of home- coming, a very special event, and did their best to make it a great success. Among other things, they revised the point system, promoted a good sportsmanship campaign, traveled to Wbrthington to represent Jackson High at a con- vention, worked towards buying a phonograph for the school parties and began promoting the interest of the students on a swimming pool project. By sponsoring the many school dances held this year after football and basketball games, the council kept the students interested in their school and helped to make this year an unforgettable one for the graduating seniors. ...24....

HISTORY Seattle. Never giving up hope, even after the white sauce failure, the Home Economic Department again undertook to make us future home- makers. The attempt was grape jelly --the result, it bounced, it stretched, or it had to be eaten like soup. English, however, was more successful, since we either en- joyed the company of Miss Willey or Miss Pappas. The Year was not en- tirely peaceful though, for it was in the ninth grade that the class of '50 was dubbed The Reformers . We were the first class to gain the right of dancing for freshmen, and as for the slacks--well, s me called it our first defeat, though we didn't! Mr. Ryberg's headaches were suddenly cured when the class of '50 crossed the hall into Senior High and Mr. Berg's headaches began. Another girl was added to our class--Phyllis Bancroft. Here we were always looking for more boys and all we got was another girl. Our violent arguments, carry-overs from our Freshman year, seemed to jump first from Room 302 to 301 and then back again. But Ross missed all this for he was home in bed with Rheu- matic Fever. Or was it Romantic Fever? Mention our Junior year and all the girls swoon, Oh, Whitey! . We drifted from History into Qker- plopj Chemistry. This was the ath- letic year. The football team beat Fairmont for the first time in four- teen years and the basketball team virtually did the impossible by beating Mountain Lake twice. First here on our home court and then at Windom in the District Tournament. From there the boys went to St. Peter, for the Regional Tournament that is, where Mankato's height and manpower defeated them. Some lucky individuals went to St. Paul for M A where they participated in either the All State Orchestra or Chorus. The class of '50 blossomed forth with their theatrical talent in Huckleberry Finn . Later on, our executive talents bloomed as we filibustered in the New Constitution. QKnown to the average highschooler as the scope .j An off-shoot of this was Miss Fitzsimmon's election as the Honorable Governor of Girls' State. Toward the end of our Junior year, everyone was busy with tissue and crepe paper and rose bushes and carnations as we made ready for the big night of the Banquet. The Seniors repaid us fully the night of the Prom. And suddenly we were Seniors. The class of '50 began its last il- lustrious year within the portals of I.H.S. We started with our unforget- table football team, which lost only one game, captained by all-state end, Richard Hugunin. The football season reached its climax at Home- coming when the Senior girls became famous as goops 3 and one lucky miss, Alice Hammer, became her ex- cellency the Queen Cafter a hard fought campaignj. With Homecoming past we rolled on to our last Christmas Concert, and then into basketball season, with Jeb Vachuska as captain. Ross Muir completed his career as class president, having served every other year in that ca- pacity. The Banquet, Prom, and that final march across the stage of J.H.S. and the door of knowledge will creak shut upon the unprece- dented Class of 1950. 23 -
