Pictured above is this class in session. The freshmen find that high school life is very dif- ferent compared to the junior high level. They now have the opportunity to change class rooms and use the study hall to a greater extent. They also enjoy the use of the new student lounge. Throughout the year, there are many activities that involve the participation of the entire class. Begin- ning with Homecoming, the class is required to clean up the remaining bits and pieces of the big Home- coming bonfire built by the sophomores. The fresh- men girls are obligated to serve the lunch following this bonfire. The class also put on the skit, The Meaning of the Bobcat , as entertainment for the royalty. Following the Homecoming football game, the student body attended a dance that was gaily dec- orated by the fi’eshmen along with the sophomores. 18

PROGRESS Roberta Nies Arlene Sandmeier Joel Schmierer Owen Schumacher One of the bigger highlights of the year was the choosing of the wait- ers and waitresses for the Junior- Senior Prom. These are chosen by the junior class. The waiters chosen were: Owen Schumacher, Lyle Perman, Lyle Schock, and Dale Bobby. The waitresses chosen were: Roberta Nies, Colleen Buechler, Linda Rieger, and Wynne Blumhardt. This duty is considered a great honor but also a lot of work. Another important responsibility for the sophomores was the Senior Tea. The tea is held after the baccalaureate services in the school lunch room. This tea is a chance for the sopho- mores to do something special for the seniors. These and many other jobs help prepare the sophomores for the hard work involved in being a junior next year.

PROGRESS In addition to their many activi- ties, the freshmen have an added advantage never before offered in high school. The freshmen are allowed to take advanced classes such as Typing I, which is usu- ally offered to sophomores only. This is done in order to allow them to take more classes next year and ease their load of class- es throughout high school. There are many freshmen boys who are also taking advantage of the extracurricular activities such as basketball and football. Many take part in one or the other or both. Many also participate in track. It is believed that many stars will come out of this pro- gressing class.
