We had twenty in our class. There were six boys and fourteen girls. During the year Bertha Lain and Don Whitlock moved and George Blaine decided that school work wasnt what he liked to do. That left us with an enrollemnt of seventeen. During our first year we didn't do much that was exciting, but we had a few parties to keep us busy. The big event of our Sophomore year was the initiation of the Freshmen. We gave them a list of things to wear and do for a day. There was an assembly that afternoon and we held a Kangaroo Court . After the fun, we served refresh- ments to the entire student body. Of course, the Freshmen were asked to do the dishes. The year of 1950 is now turning over its leaf. We started back to school as Jolly Juniors with 16 in our class. During the year Junior Daugherty also found that school was not what he wanted. We have worked hard this year to make money for our banquet we will give the Seniors. One important thing that happened our Junior year was getting our class rings. We also gave two plays which were both big successes. Our class officers are: President, Joyce Prosserg Vice-President, Shirley Roopg Secretary-Treasurer, Carol Devineg Reporter, Janet Romineg Student Coun- cil Representative, Janiece Romine. Our class sponsors are: Mrs. Schultz and Mr. Knott.

We have had some good crowds cheering for us and have lost some heartbreakers. The first team consisted of Bob Reeves, Dave Roop, and Dan Rhodes playing forwards, Burl Baker at center, Don Wagner and Bob Larkin in the guard positions. The second team consisted of Bennie Brown, Andy Jackson, Floyd Lovins, and Bill Bitzer as forwards, Kaywin Shepherd at center, Keith Campbell and Kenny Wagner as guards.
