H. S. by the class of 1950, he going was pretty rough for the first two or three weeks, but we finally learned where our classes were held and things :gan to go a little easier. ln Manito, we were initiated for two weeks and in Forest City, for one day, After the in- iation, we were honored with an initiation party, A few weeks later, we gave a return party for the class who initiated s. At the end of our freshmen year at Manito High, we lost Tom Schmick and Shirley Thomas from our class, During our sophomore year in Manito, we had the honor of initiating the freshmen, and in retum, we were given party by the freshmen class, We sophomores of both towns found high school to be a lot easier once we got the knack fit, At the end of this year, we lost Martha Bale from Forest City and Donna Callaway and Wilma Vale from Manito. The two schools became consolidated before our third year, and the new school was named FORMAN. Our junior lass gave the first play to be given by the Forman Senior High School, It was called, If Mother Only Knew, Mrs, awlis was our director, and the play turned out to be a great success. Our class also edited the first FORMAN FLASH :hool paper. One of the main events during our junior year was the 31st of December when our class rings arrived. We ere very happy to receive these rings and were very well pleased with them. We were kept pretty busy in the middle F the year with the selling of concessions at the basketball games. Our biggest worry was keeping up with the crowd on rurnament nights, This job helped a great deal in making money for our class trip, We lost four juniors form our class :is year, They were Danny Knackmuhs, Margaret Purdy, Jean Callaway, and Dallas Hawkins. August 29, 1952, forty-four of us returned as seniors. We presented our class play, We Shook the Family Tree, gain having Mrs. Lawlis as our director, We also sponsored two square dances and a chilli supper.
