UNIOR CLASS September of i942 found us crossing the threshold to a higher education, no less frightened or amazed than any of our pre- decessors. Becoming adjusted to our new surround- ings we sought outside interests in ath- letics, club activities, and music. Later on in the fyeor Joe Voile, Mory Elaine Drew and Karl Shaver were elected as our class officers. The never-to-be-forgotten events as Freshies were the All-School party and the Freshman asesmbly where we became more acquainted with the upper classmen and they likewise with us. It also gave way to the rise of Mary Elaine Drew as a noted singer of our class. When the football letters were presented we were represented well by Dan Branigan, Jack McLean, and Darrel Rinehart. During the next year many exciting hap- penings took place, which proved we were no longer green freshmen, but instead, cocky sophomores, such as, the mistletoe in Miss Wright's homeroom for Christmas: the lightweight team - Joe Eggebrecht, George Acker, Robert Fuller, and Joe Vaile - winning for themselves second place in the conference, the sophomore assembly in which Alice Rutherford, Bob Mellott, Phyl- lis Phalen, and others participated, and the election of class officers causing heated competition which finally resulted in mak- ing George Acker, president: Joe Vaile, vice-president, and Joe Eggebrecht, secre- tary-treasurer. ln spite of the fact our name changed from sophomores to juniors our interests in school remained. Dramatic club was now open to us and as a result about half the cast in Spring Green were juniors. Norma McBride walked off with the leading role, and Ariel Dillon, Gordon McCleary, Joan Whitlow, Dan Branigan, Bob Mellott, Bill Gravenstein, and Bruce Bastian were among those who participated. The All-School party, sponsored by the juniors, proved to be a jubilant affair. The evening was occupied with activities of all sorts - bingo, miniature bowling alleys, a JUNIOR CLASS OFFICERS Left to right: George Acker, president, Bill Martin, vice-presidentg Joe Eggebrecht, secretary-treasurer. dart game, and Little George Byerhoff who tried to guess the weight of the many pretty pigeons who dared to venture near him. The auditorium seemed to be the spot light of the evening where the movie The Amazing Mrs. Holliday, starring Deanna Durbin ran the entire evening. Meanwhile, in the gym the juke box blared out every- thing from ls You ls or ls You Ain't My Baby to Stardust for the many dance lovers. In the field of sports we found George Acker, Christ Christ, Bob Dennison, Gene Fish, Bob Kernan, and Joe Vaile among those who received football letters. Those who demonstrated their ability in basket- ball were Joe Vaile, George Acker, Joe Eggebrecht, Bob Kernan, Christ Christ, Don Higgs, Charles Bareis, and Bob Brotherton. The need of three new cheerleaders brought Phyllis Phalen, Lorraine Baker, and Mar- garet Wolbart to carry on where their pre- decessors left off. At the beginning of the second semester, 47 juniors replaced the seniors on the Dixini staff. Junemarie Deutsch and Rob- ert Mellott were selected as assistant edi- tors and will lead the staff next year as seniors. The class officers for this year were George Acker, Bill Martin, and Joe Egge- brecht.
