president, and Dave Youngmark, secretary- treasurer. The freshman assembly took Holidays as its theme. Art Kreitzer was master of ceremonies. First came the New Year cele- bration, complete with hammers and bats. The nature class, hunting the groundhog, was doomed to disappointment. St. Valen- tine's Day and April Fool's Day were also included. The chorus members' beauty contest was won by that beautiful hunk of something-or-other, John Erwin. Connie Meinke gave a fine baton twirling exhibi- tion, followed by the Christmas scene. The family in this scene was musical, with even the baby playing the bass. The fact that we were the largest class, probably accounted for having more members on the honor roll than any other class. Before we realized it, the end of our first year came, when we left to return as the upper lower class. With the experience of the first year, Ernie Atkinson, Ed Enichen, Art Kreitzer, Don McLean, Alvin Moeller, Don Russell, and Harold Worman received minor letters in football. Mike McDonald, Bob Sanford, Jack Schultz, Don Thoms, and John Erwin made us proud by earning major letters. Joe Richards and Earl Codt received man- agers' letters. There was another good turnout in bas- ketball and the team did well. For the whole season it was about 50-50, but in the conference it was seven wins to three losses putting them in third place. . Ed Enichen, Mike McDonald. Bryan Can- non, Carrol Schumacher, Don Russell, Jim Chamness, Harold Worman, Ernie Atkin- son and Joe Richards proved their worth and are ready to do even better next year. Spring came, bringing spring-fever, track, and the C.A.A. dance. We came and left as sophomores for the last time.

Here at the end of another school year, we find ourselves looking back over our ac- complishments at the half-way mark. ln August, l943, we first entered Dixon High SOPHOMORE CLASS School, and although it took time, we learned our way around, sometimes the hard way. When the clubs were organized, we showed interest by joining. The clubs were: Freshman-Sophomore Literary Society, Latin Club, G.A A., F.A.A., Home Ec. Club, Li- brary Club, and Pep Club, As freshmen, many turned out for sports. Remember the football casualties, with Jack Schultz and Art Kreitzer topping the list with broken bones? Those receiving minor football letters were Mike McDon- ald and Don Thoms. The basketball season was fair, with three freshies receiving cov- eted small D's. They were Don Thoms, Jack Schultz, and Mike McDonald. In spring come tennis cmd track. Remember how well Ronny Moen ond the others did?

i l l Left to right: Jim Landis, president, Evelyn Hinds, vice-presidentg Carletta Rosenow, Secretary-treasurer. Last September, like many other past Septembers, was the month that another group of quaking freshmen entered the portals of Dixon High, FRESHMEN CLASS At the beginning of the year, the fresh- man class elected its officers who are Jim Landis, president, Evelyn Hinds, vice-presi- dent, and Carletta Rosenow, secretary- treasurer. Approximately twenty-five per cent of the freshmen students are taking a college preparatory course, which means they are taking algebra and Latin. Sixty-four per cent are taking manual training and home economics, vocational subjects. Two-thirds of the class are taking algebra, and only one-third, general mathematics this year. This is interesting to note because in past years the case has been just the reverse. If you will glance over the honor rolls, you will notice that the freshmen have done well in their school studies. The class is well represented each time. A few of the names that appear most often on the lists are Elwood Schmidt, Phyllis Busker, Patricia Dietrich, Louise Cannon, Dorothy Will- Row l-Jack Leer, Ira Nehring, Leola Jacobs, Theresa Hoban, Anita Hopkins, jo Anne Weitzel,Evelvn Hinds, Anne Carroll, Patricia Kenney, Patricia Dietrich, Janet Hoyle, Patricia Gorham, Patricia Leggett, Jean Carkhuff, Betty Thompson, Betty Havens, Carolyn Gordon, Donna Dogwiler, Richard Covert, John Utley.
