bn September 7, 1943 thirty-eight members entered the doors of Big Sandy High School as freshmen.lt was just three weeks later on September 22, that the seniors acknowledged them as freshmen by initiation. Those paddles, crazy cos- tumes, and limburger cheese -will long be remembered by the following: Grace Allderdice, Richard Archibald,Joe Balazic, Leona Belschner, Fred Bitz, Beatrice Buchholz, Bernice Buch- holz, Mery Butler, Frances Chaffee, LaVerne Crofoot, Dorothy Edwards, Frances Eve, Leo Faber,-Dora Goecks, Joyce Hagen,- Lillian Littlefield, Bernard Lund, Lois Lund, Jack Bramlette, Joan Englund, Glenn Maxwell, Shirley Misfeldt, Edith Moore, [Edna Olson, Jeanine Ophus, Elmer Rada, Marie Raines, Georgie I Reichelt; Tom Sanford, Jim Sanford, Alice Shurtliff, Glenn jSkaalure, Florence Tingley, Ruth Vestal, Arthur Weaver, Earl i Weaver, John Whetham, James Cody. After initiation, we were I no longer considered as children; so had to settle down and ; study. Our events for the year were soon concluded with a ; return party for the good and faithful seniors of 1943. As sophomores, our duties were limited to giving the jathletic banquet. We regret to say our class was decreased I by four. Jack Bramlette moved to Washington; Joan Englund I moved to Californio; Marie Rain's got married; and Florence ! Tingley moved to Washington. We now recall our junior year. It hardly seems possible j: we are here so soon. We started practice on the play, The ; Girls Take Over, very early in the year. After the play 1 came the prom and banquet which was held on May 4, 1946. The ; jtheme chosen by the juniors was May featuring a large May j I j pole and canopy in the canter of the floor. By this time we ■had lost four more members. Earl and Arthur Weaver quit i school to work at home; Jeanine Ophus went into -the Senior Class; and Tom Sanford joined the Navy. However, .-Florence ' Tingley came back and joined us once more. At last our senior yecr arrived. We initiated the ; !freshmen early so that they could feel they were rightfully ipart of our school. After Christmas the chosen play cast 1'began practicing Find the Woman which was presented to the I|public on February 15, 1947. Then came the long awaited i:sneak day. Early in the morning on February 27 we set out ; I for the state capitol in Helena to visit the legislature in session.The next big event for the year was the Junior-Senior ; banquet and prom which was held Saturday evening, April 26. The theme chosen for the occasion was Holland. The follow- ing day the weary but energetic juniors and seniors went on ! a picnic to Fresno Dam. By this time the senior class has been-increased-by the presence of Donald Brady, Dorothy Pet- j rock, Leo Gist, and Tom Sanford. John Whetham went into ! the Army. j Baccaleurate Services were held May 11.Class Night was 1 May 13 «nd Commencement Services were May 15.
