Gaaadqaiaaq As Freshmen we had some grand ideas. We would really get someplace. We would revolutionize the school. We did in our own way. First we elected the following officers: President, Frank Underwood, Vice-Presi- dent, Lynn Weeksg Secretary, Anne Scherpf, and Treasurer, Pat Weeks. Our very able advisor was Miss Wheeler. Heading our list of functions was our very successful Mistletoe Dance. All that mistletoe will never be forgotten. We also won the Journalism Prize for the best school paper of the four classes. Everyone enjoyed our Smorgasboard Supper, naturally. Some- thing else to be remembered is Mr. Tracy as Santa Claus at our bake sale. All in all this was both a very successful and profitable year which gave us a head start! Our Sophomore year started off with Sonny Weeks, our President, Joan Lent, Vice-President, and Anne Scherpf, Secre- tary, while Bill Youngs had charge of the mo-la Cmoney!j. Miss Wheeler agreed to put up with us for another year as advisor. This year we were out to top our Frosh year. We began by selling emblems and had a dance or two. We had our usual suppers with which we've always had the best re- sults, besides a lot of full stomachs. Our assembly program was the Talent Show that went off so well. Yes, this year was even better than the first. Ah! Yes, the great JUNIOR year-Our officers changed a little this year. Our new President was Bob Ehlers, Vice-President, Ralph Pooleg Secretary, Ruth Schmitz, and Treasurer, Joe Klucznik. Miss Mac Mc- Cormick consented to be our advisor for the year-fpoor soulj. This was the year the JUNIORS really were the best! According to u.s anyway! This was truly a busy and fruitful year. Another bake sale added to our treasury and appetites along with a few more suppers four specialtiesj , a Meat Loaf Supper. On Nov. 10 we had a Sadie Haw- kins' Day Dance which was a huge success with over 100 people attending. We all re- member those huge pictures of Daisy Mae, Little Abner and the rest of the Dog Patch characters contributed by Norma as a part of the decorations. Our next function was selling stationery, which proved very profit- able during the months of November and December. Ann Rosencrants nearly went wild keeping the books straight but in the end everything balanced perfectly. Thanks a lot Ann. Later we had a bake sale at Bus's Market on Saturday, January 21. For Val- entine's Day we had a Carnival and Dance, with the carnival in the early evening and the dance after. We again thank Norma for her posters and swell decorations, and all the Juniors for making it the success that it was. On March 9 we had a chicken dinner with all the trimmings. Cn April 20 we had a Smorgasbord Supper which brought to a close, with another success the junior Sup- pers of the Year. The Great Day at last came! Our Junior Prom on June 25 was absolutely breathtaking. The decorations were swell and everyone enjoyed it. Our very pretty Queen was Ruth Schmitz, with Sonny Weeks as King. Lila Dodge was Princess and George Pie Lipp, Prince. Our attendants were: Anne Scherpf, Ann Ros- encrants, Mary Ann Lusk, Mary Lou Eagan, Jean Taylor, Pat Weeks, Charlotte Skillman and Donna Smith. The perfect end for a perfect year! Our last and most unforgettable year has just come to a close. Bob Ehlers again served as our very able Class President, Norma Barnhart our Vice-President, Ruth Schmitz our Corresponding Secretary, Julia Graby our Recording Secretary, and Rudy Bode, Treasurer. We got off on the right foot by having the first supper of the year! This was also a year of salesmanship. We haunted every doorstep in town with Wanna buy some Christmas Cards or a magazine? We did do pretty well at it even if the towns- people had to buy a few new door bells! These two functions netted us a good profit, naturally. Our Senior Play Professor How Could You was staged on March 24 and 25 and was also a profitable proposition which helped make it possible for us to go on our long-awaited Senior Trip. , THE 1949
