SOPHOMORES President ----- - ------ Roger Thill Vice president ---- Valiere lllton Secretary -------- ---Jayne Allner Treasurer ------ ----- Donald Minto le the class of '57' started off with a flourish. At the first class meeting which we had, plans were made for raising money. The plan decided upon, which was selling old magazines and papers, has brought a great deal of funds for our prom. Making money is certainly one thing ln which our class excels if nothing else.Our class plans after on us to do class to GO. was divided into six groups for raising funds. We sold school. Our initiation was according to the reports of the biddings of the Juniors which competed in making money. All had various ice cream, candy, flower bulbs, and buttermilk one of our big days. The Junior class was easy upper classmen. During the day we were obliged After school we had games and refreshments.0ur did one thing while Freshmen, that no other class even thought or attempted le gave a banquet for our parents and teachers. After the banquet two basket ball teams composed of Freshmen boys played in the gym. In the last onth of school we had a picnic at Minto's. The picnic wound up our Freshmen year which IB!

Our outstanding activity was Antioch Country lair. Although there was a great in charge, we worked hard for three days,but it was well worth the effort. The class cooperated in a splendid manner. We proved our worth in athletics too. Roger Th1ll,our pres1dent,earned a place on the first basketball squad and served vallantly until he sustained an injury this year. On the second team we were represented by Ted Larson. At the close of this year a group of our classmen will be chosen to serve at the banquet of the Junior prom, and our Sophomore year will probably be concluded with a picnic. le have had two very successful years under the guidance of Miss Smith and lr.

FRESHN N President ---------------- Jack Crandall Vice-President ------------- June Nelson Secretary and Treasurer---Parker Hazen On the first day of school we were all rushing around asking everybody where this classroom was and where that classroom was, but on the whole I think we en- joyed it very much. The day we really did have fun was the day of our initiation. We were constantly being stopped by some Junior to see whether we had enough lip- stick on our faces, whether the girls had their dresses on backwards or the boys their hair bows. At the fair we had a stand and sold hamburgers Kqulte appropriate for the cold weatherl, and we cleared about twenty dollars--not bad for Freshmen: when the basketball season opened, the classes were given season tickets to sell: and when it was found that 'the Freshman class' sold the most tickets, everyone open- ed his eyes and looked suprised. One of our boys, Jack Crandall, has been successful in achieving a place on the first squad, and Russell Doolittle a place on the second. A special Freshman team under the direction of Cropley Phillips, a Senior, has been organized to de- velop material for future years. They have practiced diligently and have metthe various grade school teams. We are proud of their efforts and are aura thatthey will make basketball history for Antioch. In January we gave a dance, which was for our class only, and the Freshman jazz band played. The girls furnished the 'eats' and everyone agreed that we had plenty to eat. Our class is well represented in the following extra-curricular activities: orchestra, Freshman jazz band, glee club, and chorus. Ie certainly do seam to enjoy winning in contests, and we surely showed the Sophomore and Junior classes something when the Judges voted our play the best of the three in the February play tournament. Betty Maier, a Junior, directed the rehearsals of our winning play, 'lrs. Hal1's Club Paper'. The humorous situations of the play brought us a great deal of applause. Erneatine Robins, in her char- acterization of Hrs. Hall the mother of four daughters, was especially success- ful. Gayle Pierce, the eldest daughter, was convincing in her portrayal of the school teacher. Evelyn Skeen, Ruth Cunningham, and Glenda Deselms did equally well aa the vivaclous coede. Our advisers, Miss Roberts and lr. Reichers, have patiently guided us Enough our first year, a year which we feel has been very successful. 24
