Of the 42 original we had 39 left at the end of the school term. Our class met September 12 to organize. The following officers were chosen: Lee Castle- berry, president; Loyd Townsend, vice-presi- dent, and Coleman Meyer, secretary treasurer. Mr. Callaghan was our sponser. On September IB the sophomores initiated ue. The girls were dressed In boys' clothes and the boys wore dresses. All the clothing was put on backwards. We paraded down main street with wagone and baby buggies. Then we returned to the school and cleaned the weeds off the foot- ball field. The freshmen gave their return party September 29. There was dancing and a lunch was served. For our queen candidate w e freshmen selected Delorie Water- land. We sold a lot of tickets, but the senior candidate won. The freshmen took part in stunt night by presenting In the Nick of Time. We also took part In put- ting on the carnival. Loyd Townsend and Lee Castle- berry played basketball and foot- ball. A large part of the freshmen took ohorue. At least 90 of them bought War Saving stamps every month. P R. Babb Tk. Beoktel A. Brantley F. Brance 0. Clonkaln P. Dillon B. Gundlach B. Oundlach 8.

made a very funny sight. ... . June Beach was ohoeen sophomore candidate ror Hoaeooalng Queen of 1944. She was one of the favorites and for sobs time It a though she would be Queen but at the final oounts It was found that she oame In eeoond. At the regular annual Barn Danes many of the Sophs turned out dressed In the worst, com- peting for the prise offered for the beet costume. Bernice Strait was oo-wlnner of the first prise, with freshman Lylene Hubbard. Bernice wore a large, baggy pair of bib over- alls with a handkerchief protruding from hip pocket, and old pair of run over cowboy boots, and a very dllapedated Stetson hat that was polished with grease. Bernice recleved f.50 for her half of the prise. As a skit for Stunt Night, November 10, ■Wildcat Willie- was presented by the olaes, under the direction of Mrs. Tavlln. Stars in the play were Dick Rolfson as Willie; Marcle Lee Nlme, his sister; Lillian Bearrow, lone Meade, Don Pulse, Elden Strand, and Eugene Schults played the part of friends of the family. In sports the sophomores really rate. Seven of the seventeen football boys belong to the class They were: Skeeter Hedges, Harold Stuart, Tommy Waterland, Elden Strand, Don Pulse, Bobby Cooper, Billie Tiedemann, and Bernard Nles. u . , Bobby Cooper, Elden Strand, Tommy Waterland, Don Pulse, Donald Boggs, Eugene Sohultz, and Skeeter Hedges all play basketball. These make a total of seven of the fifteen basketball players of the high school. On both the football and basketball teams Dlok Rolfson was the manager. This Is a res- ponsible position involving the care of the equipment. Dick must always be at practloe and must be at the games or everything is In a mess. The sophomores were the first olaes to dis- play the Minute Man Flag which represents 904 or more participation in ttae weekly defense bonds and stamp . sales of B. Tiedemann 7“ V'

Rita Babb, Keith Mrnak, and June McLeod have been consistently on the honor roll. So, all things considered we think the freshmen class has a good record for the year 1944-5. We hope to do as well or better in the coming years and to make the class of 48 one of the best. v OuA) ( (rfjsr Oft, 0. Schwelgert V. Schweigert D. Shuffield R. Shuffleld L. Sterna H. Stewart E.
