Mr. Haselton The Freshman Class, composed of sixteen girls and eleven boys, maintains that it is the most musical class in school. Ten of the twenty-seven students are members of the band, playing everything from trumpets to the bass drum. Yet, lest some one think that they have no time for anything eke, it should be pointed out that six of the eleven boys were on the Junior Varsity basketball team. Here is concrete evidence of the fact that the class of ’52 is an active, wide awake class, ready to take its place in Byron High. One event of the school year that will long be remembered by the Freshmen was their initiation early in the Fall. It cannot be said that the Sophomores were unkind, but when the evening was over the Freshies realized that a new phase of their education had begun. FOURTEEN

Bob Meline David Ives Kay Love Danny Smith Mr. Quarton The Sophomore Class with its twenty-four members seemed to be athletically in- clined this year. Although there are only eleven boys in the class, one, Showalter, acted as athletic manager all year, and nine of the remaining ten were out for every sport. Swanson, Meline, Faulkner, and Helsdon were softball regulars; Swanson, Mel- ine, and Harding were on the Cross Country team; Swanson and Meline were on the varsity basketball squad; Henson, Harding, and Faulkner were regulars on the jun- ior varsity. The girls, not to be out done, put a mighty rugged GAA basketball team on the floor. Bontjes, Morrison, Tate, Sturm, DeFouw, Fasanella, Nelson, Stebner, Harmon, and Love were active in this sport. The Class of ’51 had varied interests, however, and took part in other school ac- tivities, social and academic. It can look back at the past year as having been a busy and successful one. THIRTEEN
