Mrs. Jean Price To get a new class started out right, the upperclassmen smeared the greenies on Freshman Initiation Day at the beginning of the year. Entering high school with l I9 members, our class surprised the entire school by turning out a program which took second place in class competition. One of the biggest problems for Fresh- men is to get some money in their treasury. We solved this by giving a school dance, which had one of the largest turnouts of the year. Entering into sports the first chance they got was Cecilia iSooneyl Shong and Peggy Bull. Peggy was elected captain of the Freshman basketball team, and Sooney captain of the soccer team. Both girls made the All-Star basketball team, along wlth Marjorie Balentine, Gladys Zeroonian, and Hortensia Fullbright. i945-46 SOPI-IOMORE OFFICERS President .......,.....,...,......,...., Bill Kapheim Vice President ..,..,......

Mrs. Jean Price Going into our Sophomore year, once again we presented an outstanding class program, this time taking first place. When the Student Body play was pre- sented we were fortunate in having three of our classmates participate, which is un- usual for underclassmen, These people were Bill McMullen, John Della, and Kath- leen Chambers, Richard Weaver received the position of Custodian of the Student Body, and was 26 the first one of his classmates to be on the Student Council. All out for sports, again Peggy, Marjorie, Gladys, and I-lortensia made the All-Star basketball team. Gladys was captain for the Sophomore baseball team. i946-47 JUNIOR OFFICERS President ..............,..c,....,.........,.. Don Ford Vice President ..... .u,.....as..

DeWitt Creveling As upperclassmen we got to help smear the Freshmen in the same manner that was used on us. To help raise money for our biggest event of the year, the Prom, we gave a dance in January and presented the an- nual Junior class play in March. Profes- sor, I-low Could You! was the production chosen, and was a great success, having a cast of thirteen who did a wonderful iob. The cast included the following people: George Graham, Barbara Raubinger, Clin- ton Moore, Beth Bullington, Sammy l-lay- craft, Barbara Pattee, Bill Kapheim, Mar- iorie Balentine, Bill McMullen, Anna Zak- ian, Frieda l-lurley, Bonnie Campbell, and Fred Smith. The Junior-Senior Prom theme was bas- ed on the music and lyrics of l-low Deep is the Ocean. The decorations were not extravagant, but very effective. There were artificial mermaids in the corners of the gym, and overhead were streamers of blue crepe paper to represent the top tot the ocean. To honor the Seniors, on the night of their graduation, the newly elected Stu- dent Council presented a Senior Ball. The band room was decorated in red and white class colors, and punch and ,cookies were served to friends and relatives of the Seniors. V Kathleen Chambers, Peggy Bull and
