Soon their faces were familiar in all the organizations and activities of the school. Class officers for the year were Wayne Fisher, president; Ray Wicknick, vice president; and Carolyn Beck, secretary-treasurer. Since the freshmen constituted the largest class in the school, they were divided into three home room groups under the sponsorship of Miss Evans, Miss Orms, and Mrs. Schenke- meyer. The daily schedule of the freshmen broght them into contact with general science taught by Mr. Smith, civics taught by Mr. Kuhs, algebra taught by Mr. Townsend or math taught by Miss Reese, and English taught by Miss Evans and Mr. Hill. Besides these re- quired subjects, several elective courses were open to freshmen. Twenty Nine

They were the over enthusiastic youngsters who dodged in and out of their class rooms, frantically avoiding a face to face meeting with any upperclassman. Their first few weeks of introduction to the school were memorable. Standing wide-eyed in groups, they discussed in whispers the trials and tribulations of the first appearance in high school. They had indeed entered a new phase of school life. The greatest task of the freshmen was adapting themselves to this new life, but with the guidance of Mr. Keller and the faculty it was accomplished in a surprisingly brief time. Twenty Eight

Still a part of the small fry of the school, they did not have as many problems and detention troubles as when they first moved to our building. The required subjects in their course of study were taught by Miss Spangler, Mrs. Bosley, Miss Orms, Mrs. Schenkemeyer, and Mr. Wolf. Although they were the smallest class in the school, they made up in enthusiasm what they lacked in numbers. Having lost last year's shyness, they were found cheering at games, attending dances, appearing on assembly programs, and co- operating whole-heartedly in student council pro- jects. The group also were able to hold their own mentally, for they were represented by a sizable list on the honor roll at the end of each grading period. It is to these promising students that the school looks for leadership and scholarship in the future. Thirty
