Two members, William Ryan and Maynard Johnson, failed to return to high school this year, bringing the total number of. sophomores down to twenty-six. After about a month of school, two of the boys, Wendell Ander- son and Bernard Bergum, had the misfortune of bein seriously stricken with polio, which forced them to withdraw their names from the class enrollment. Twenty-four are left to represent their class until the return of these two boys. This class is especially active in school activities. Ten ambitious boys reported for football and eight of them for bas- ketball. Fifteen of the twenty -four students have added their voices to the chorus, while only two are in the band. Seven of the girls contributed their talents to the forensic contest.

THE FRESHNIEN On September 2, 1946. twenty-two pupils entered the little house of learning, and irxunediately acquired the title of Green Freshmen. They all looked frightened and very queer to us at first, but after a couple of weeks they be- came acquainted with everyone and it seemed as though they had always been in Black Earth ?oh School. On Friday the 13th of September, the little green Fresh- men were initiated by the Sophomores. They came into the assembly on their knees. The boys came as girls wearing their mothers dresses and stockings. They wore overshoes, had a scarf tied around their heads and wore make -up. Everyone seemed to think that they made better girls than boys. The girls wore gunny sacks a'nd straw hats, and wore no make-up. This gave everyone a chance to see how the girls look when they get up in the morning. Wow: .' This sure is a small world. That night the sophomores gave the freshmen a party. Almost everyone attended. One member of the class, Florian Handel, dropped out of school. leaving a total of twenty-one students, seventeen of the twenty-one boys and girls are in the chorus. One member is in the beginners band. Three boys took part in football , six went out for basketball, and four members participater' in forensics.
