History This little band of pilgrims journeying to what we thought was an unobtainable height began their bewildered career as freshmen four long hard years ago 52 strong, with Bob Smith, President; Helen Marie Kraut, Vice President, and Pat Minette, Secretary-Treasurer. After being initiated, kicked around, looked down on, and loving every minute of it the whole year, we finally got to be Sophomores. After an uneventful Sophomore year during which our President was Paul Webb and during which we presented a typically Sophomore assembly we at last entered the realm of upperclassmen. Our President was Ralph Koontz, Vice President, Betty Overcash. The Junior Play, Captain Apple Jack, was presented April 5th. It was quite a success. Ah! At last we are Seniors. (!!!!) 45 strong, including two veterans Jim Wilson and LeRoy Grosser. The Senior Play was One Mad Night, which was a huge success. We also gave a Senior Ball with a candy cane motif. This last year of ours will always be one of our fondest memories. Senior Play On November 22, 1946 the Senior class finally pronounced their new creation, One Mad Night ready for presentation. Take it from Mr. Barrett, who directed, it was a creation. At least nothing like it happened in the book. Gary Snyder and Betty Lou Brown took the leads. Pat Minette, Bob Watkins, Bob Kullberg, Ralph Koontz, Bill Hupp, Dorothy Eide, Pat Lewis, Martha Larsen, Kenny Petersen, Helen Marie Kraut, Bette Bakke, and Betty Overcash completed the cast of the mystery comedy.
