C LASS HIST OR Y This well respected class of angels of l950,honored by allfespecially Mr. Heftie and all the teachers, first picked up our halos in approximately 1938 and started to school. That was when we were in the first grade. Those starting in Baker joined as a well-behaved class when we were in the third grade. The rest we converted over from hicks from other schools to the nice little children that we were--and still are. In 1944 we were under the superior direction of Mrs. Banta--Oh how she loved us... After all--remember our good reputation. In 1946 it was decided that we were too good forie Jr. High, so those with the brightest halos--Marlene Corey, Vale- dictorian and Nadine Everson, Salutatorian--leading the way, we flew over, picking up ten more on the way, and landed--the whole Z5 of us--as freshmen. The first event this honorable class held was the election of officers--President, Francis Kirschteng Vice-President, Bobby Lovelessg Secretary-Treasurer, Zeke Lund, Historian, Joyce Larnbertg and SPOHSOP, Mrs- Fries- Soon after school started,those devils known as Sophomores, gave us the Works for two days. Both boys and girls wore pajamas covered by bathing suits, also green bands with the letters M T around our heads. The girls wore tennis shoes and the boys wore bedroom slippers. The girls carried fishing poles and the boys purses. We had to shine the Sophomores shoes and sing commercials for them. Our year ended with the spring concert and music festival. After three months of leaving our halos to tarnish, we polished them again on our way to the sophomore year. First came election of officers, Marlene Corey, Presidentg Howard Traweek,Vice-President: Glenn Wiseman, Secretary-Treasurer: and Mr. Haskell, Sponsor. ' Since 10 fine voices were needed in Hoot Owls we gladly obliged by donating some of our melodious voices. Our most fun that year was when the freshmen followed our good advice and dressed as Indians with us supplying the war paint. Our deepest sympathy was shown by our giving a party, fwith eatsj in their honor. Our year was ended with the spring concert and music festival. After three months of polishing halos, cleaning robes, and--well--all that stuff that angels do--ahem--we started our .Tunior year with a bang--did we say bang ? ? ? --well anyway we started it off. On December 9, l948,we presented the play Bet- ty .Tane from Punkin Lane . Our sponsor, Miss Jones, with the assistance of Miss Bennett, supervised this wonderful dramatics success.

HISTORY qconrdy Election that year consisted of Nadine Everson, Presidentg Zeke Lund, Vice- Presidentg Bob Loveless, Secretary-Treasurer: and Miss Jones, Sponsor, also two new Hoot Owl members. ' Feeling rather sorry for the Seniors, we, the good samaritans, put on a prom in their honor. We started a new tradition this year, not only the election of a Queen and Princesses but also a King and Princes. Our scene was a grape arbor--very beautiful. As all of you may have noticed, the Antic1ine improved that year, naturally it was due to our wonderful work, as we took it over in the second semester, under the good advice of Mrs. Moses fNote: A Moses with the angels., Again our year ended with the harmonious ceremonies--the spring concert and music festival. After ll years of school with 3 months vacation between each, we-enter old Ba- ker High for the last time. We started this memorable year, ruling over the lower classmen, with Bob Loveless, President, Francis Kirschten, Vice-President: and Dolores Hudson, Secretary-Treasurer leading us through our journey, and Mr. Heftie, Sponsor, as the respected head of this respectable class. Main events of the year were Senior class Play, Cyclone Sally , on March 31, the Prom in our honor on May 12, skip day, spring concert and music festival, Bac- calaureate on May 14, and last but not least Graduation May 19. So ends the history of the class of '50. And in leaving we wish you the best of luck and hope that you enjoy your school days as we have enjoyed ours. .Toyce Lambert Verle Loran Dolores Hudson Pauline Meyer Kathi-ine Meyer Ann Moseley CLASS FLOWER Lily of the Valley
