F R E S H M E N H I S T O R Y Our class has been more or less active during the past months. We have held a number of meetings for business matters and also planned and executed several entertainment projects. These pro- jects consisted of a Hallowe'en party which was given October 31, and a gift exchange which occurred a few days before the beginning of the holidays. The Hallowe'en party was a great success. The games which were played proved entertaining to all. The refresh- ments were delicious, being candied apples, pop corn, and soda. The gift exchange was also successful, owing to the fact that our class is of a very generous nature. Of our class of twenty, we are represented on the basketball team by Willard Gasser and Kenneth Eckert. They will probably be joined by several more of our class next year. Our officers are President, Marcellus Eckert: Vice-President, Kenneth Eckert, Secretary, Willard Gasserg and Treasurer, Betty Harres. Our sponsors are Mrs. Jaenke and Miss Wohlwend.

S O P H 0 M O R E H I S T O R Y Entering high school for the first time as students we were the twenty-two freshmen of 1945. In September 1944 we came ready for our second year. The event of the year was an invitational Hallowe'en party. It was a great success. The committees outdid themselves! The assem- bly was decorated in traditional Hallowe'en style with corn stalks, jack-o-lanterns, etc. Refreshments were served--hamburgers, pota- to chips, soda, and candied apples. The little time that wasn't spent eating, was spent dancing and playing games. One of our students has left us to be of service to his coun- try, Desco Archer. While in school Desco made quite a name for himself on the basketball squad. Kenneth Woodcock also partici- pated in basketball and holds promise for next year's squad. We all hope that our remaining two years will be as successful as these first two have been. Our officers are President, Betty Daabg Vice-President, Mar- garet Freelandg Secretary, Carol Stout: Treasurer, Ruby Greatting. Our sponsors are Mr. Dickson and Mrs. Teel.

We elected officers as follows: President, Marian Stumpfg Secretary, Ruby Ritter: Treasurer, Alfred Dehn. During the year we had meetings about once a month during Chemistry period. We gave reports on the progress chemistry has made in war time or some other inter- esting subject pertaining to chemistry. We even made candy which fit in well with our assignment at that time about sugar andfood.

Mr. Dickson is our sponsor and the officers are, President-Jack Carleg Vice-President-Charles Neal, Secretary-Kenneth Woodcock. We took several field trips to collect specimens of insects, leaves, etc. We found some very in- teresting ones which are preserved for further use. At othernmet- ings reports were made by members of the class on articles of in- terest from magazines. Mr. Dickson gave several informative talks which we found interesting.
