,B Winding their way through study hall to the Wahoo office during study periods or after school are five members of the Freshman Class. Betty Johnson and Pat Addington add their bit to the copy staff, while June Roberts and Marqueda Springsteen help dope out problems on the art staff. Marilyn Hagan learns some infor- mation concerning the business end of Wahoo. Providing some pep at the basketball, football games, and pep meetings are the cheerleaders, one of which is from our ranks, Joan Holtz. There are few organizations in D.H.S. in which some Frosh face can't be found. Several of our core classes take field trips during the year. On one we are taken to Lyle's Dairy and shown the different methods of bottling milk and making ice cream. The ice cream tastes pretty good too. ln Miss Switzer's ninth grade English class we take part in an essay contest, writing on How Fathers Can Help Make Us Better Citizens. Betty Johnson and Judy Jurgenson have the best written performances , and sent their essays into the com- petition. The Fresh also take part in the Penny Carnival, setting up a booth of balloon and candy. One organization composed nearly entirely of Frosh girls is the Girls Glee Club. Those who are a part of it are: J. Abbey, P. Addington, M. Bailey, O. Baker, N. Barnes, B. Baldwin, C. Beebe, P. Behrman, S. Bilderback, M. Black, B. Bournay, E. Carris, G. Chambers, S. Corwin, R.

Garwczn Du'-mi Hillr-san Jet- ve Ki:-slfr Class of '51 A triumphant yell resounds over the Athletic Field as the Soph- omores announce their victory over the Freshmen in the annual football rush. lt's held the first week of school and we're pretty proud of ourselves as it's our second victory. We also took the rush against the class of '50 when we were Freshmen. The excite- ment of elections also comes at the beginning of the school year. lt's a close race for class president between Bob Manley and Everette Stevens. A couple of ties and a stuffed ballot box call for several revotes. Bob Manley is finally chosen. The students holding other class offices are Phil Allen as vice-president, Alfred Patzer as secretary, and Lester Peterson as treasurer. Everette Stevens is elected the representative at large for the Student Council. Jim Biek, Jim Cooper, Frank Lagerborg, Alfred Patzer, and Lester Peterson are elected to represent our English classes. The members of the faculty advising us this year are Lois Patter- son, Roger Norden, Leon Miner, and Victor Woodrick. Thus with these people as our leaders we begin another school year. The Sophomores make their stand in many of the clubs and various activities. Wahoo, Hi-Sheet, Glee Club, Band, Ushers Club, Varsity Club, F.H.A. and F.F.A. All have their toll of 51- ers . In February we give a dance for all high school students and race with the moon. Racing with the Moon is our theme. lt's one of the most successful dances of the year netting seventy-six dollars profit to boost our treasury. The floor show is one of the highlights of the evening with chorus girls, vocalists and a band C?J. Representing us in the talent show are several Sophs. Frank Lagerborg and his accordion are always in for an encore or two. Arlene Horak is one of the sopranos in the sextette while Barbara Holtz accompanies. Barbara also accompanies the Symphonettes. In the fall several Sophomore English Classes take trips to Chi- cago. A bus chartered and we leave in the wee hours of the morning, however we get home early in the evening. The Field Museum, and a radio broadcast are all visited. lt is the first time for a visit to Chicago for a lot of us and we spend our free time sight seeing some more. In January Dowagiac takes to the air over station WKZO.
