junior Class Mistory BOB ALBORN President BERNICE HAGA Secretary BUD MEEK Representative Finally the class of '46 has become upperclassmen. Entering C. H. S. in their green years (alias Freshmen), Bill Kistner was elected president and Eulia McCracken served as vice-president. During their Sophomore year Melbourne Mitchell was electea to direct this ambitious class with Bob Alborn as vice-president. Now this mighty class has claimed the title of Juniors. This is one of the most popular classes in C. H. S. as the greatest percentage of the Juniors are partaking in some interschool activity. The president this year is Bob Alborn, vice-president Eulia McCracken, secretary Bernice Haga, and Bud Meek the class representative. The Juniors won Jnterclass Rivalry this year in basketball and volley-ball. They also have had a percentage of its members on the honor roll each six weeks. Assisting on the Girls' League Council until mid-term were: Berneice Haga and Netabelle Hendrix, song leaders; Marianne Rackleff, vice-president; Shirley Slater, Junior representative; Dorothy Howe, program chairman, and Pat Yarbrough, point chairman. At mid-term the officers from the Junior class are: Shirley Slater, president; Eulia McCracken, vice-president; Jerry Oerding, secretary; Phyllis Brady, assistant point chairman, and Patty McKelvy, the Junior representative. And, of course, the band just wouldn't be the same peppy band without Eulia McCracken, Jerry Oerding, and Noble Chowning on the clarinets, Shirley Slater at the Glockenspiel (bells to you keeds), and Bud Meek and Bob Simpson on the trumpets. To help at the peppy games for your Devil teams were Sally Gable and Marianne Rackleff, the yell leaders. Many Hi-Times articles have been written by Phyllis Brady, Sally Gable, Marianne Rackleff, Wayne Chezem and Pat Yarbrough.
