cLAss I-nstonv rconfanuedj Blue and silver were chosen our class colors. Many members of our class purchased class sweaters, which were blue with silver numerals. f Patricia Bair left our rocket squadron to ioin another at the end of the first semester, but Faye and Jack Hurdstrom ioined us. Our class sponsored a dance in January for all the other classes. Don Ball was elected vice president of the Student Body, and Bernice Rohlman and Lois Knack, yell leaders, at the student body election held in May. Spring arrived and so our second planet was explored and we had three months to lie around before shooting to what is known as the hardest planet of all to conquer, Planet Junior. As the summer months zoomed by we regained our seat on our rockets and almost went through Planet Junior. We tackled the planet and all agreed that it would be one of the best years of our school life. We started off with President, Ray Conrad, Vice Presi- dent, Don Ball, Secretary-Treasurer, Frances Page, Representative, Ted Arsenault, and Advisor, Mr. Lang. Again we found three rockets vacant whose owners had been: Bob Rummer, Sam. Hansen and Dan Balcom. We soon found new pilots for these but we had gained one extra pilot, so we acquired a new rocket for her benefit. They were: Ruby Campbell, Melvin Emerson, Dick Ekins and Mariorie Tedrow. This year we sold pop and candy bars at the football games, but when basketball season came we discontinued selling of candy and lust sold pop. Class rings were selected and all the members of the class that wanted them bought one. More members ioined A'Kappa and all followed the instructions for initiation to the letter. New members were: Lois Knack, Margaret Scharff, Neva Murbach, Edwina Deppner, Betty Campbell, Frances Page, Faye Green, Faye Hurdstrom, Evelyn Logsdon, Bernice Rohlman, Leeta Fichtenberg and Dorothy Schmauder. Our basket social was held in December with Herb Wiehs as a very good barker, it was a very successful night and the Juniors were all pleased with the profits. At a special class meeting Marjorie Tedrow was elected as assistant editor to the T944 annual and Ray Conrad, as assistant Business Manager. Ardythe Ball left her rocket in November. At the end of the first semester Teddy Arsenault, Herb Wiehs and Jack Hurdstrom left their rockets to become members of the armed services. Ted ioined the Air Corps, Jack, the Navy and Herb, the Marines. One of their rockets was filled when Erlene Smith joined us. Jessie McCall and Faye Alexander were initiated into the A'Kappa Klub in March. Our big success that really conquered was, Wings Over Washington, a mystery play in three acts, presented in February, Each member of the class had a duty to perform whether they were in the play or not. A large profit was made and it put us on the road to a successful prom. X ,xx
