SENIOR CLASS HISTORY FRESHMAN YEAR Seniors of today are the product of four long, grueling years of school at FBHS. They are the same people who. in 1941, entered high school in gunny sacks with an odious onion for a necklace, and with few conceptions of the people they were to become four years later. When they entered school the frosh chose from their ranks Lucille Hanford, as president: Lee Katzenberger, vice president: and Jeannette Stevens, secretary-treasurer: and Miss Margaret Holmes as sponsor. Since there are few specific duties for a freshman class to perform, they decided tu undertake the task of writing the school news for the River Press. Although this class was composed mostly of girls, they usually came out on top in all of their undertakings-even when the girls decided to help the boys whitewash the B in the spring of their first year. When these enterprising freshmen gave their return dance to the seniors. they outdid themselves by giving a floor show. Thus they came to the end of the first stormy stretch leading to the great day. SOPHOMORE YEAR After a few months' vacation in which to prepare for the coming year, they were back as sophomores with most of their members. Either the class was in a rut or else has very outstanding students, for they chose Lucille Hanford, Lee Katzenberger, and Jeannette Stevens for class officers again, with Miss Jeannette Jensen for sponsor. After giving their class party, the sophs sponsored several snake dances to try to liven up school spirit. Although the sophomores were trying to be active in their second year at FBHS perhaps they over did it a little. because they had three sponsors. After Miss Jensen resigned at Christmas, Miss Margaret Holmes served until she resigned in February. Mrs. Kathleen Holm then agreed to guide them for the rest of the year. JUNIOR YEAR At last they entered school as upper classmen when, in the fall, they became juniors. The juniors elected different officers for this year-Lee Katzenberger. as president: James White, vice president: and Robert Anderson for secretary-treasurer until the end of the semester when he became a senior. Stanley Smith took Bob's place. Miss Gordon Eckford lSullivanl was chosen for sponsor, and when she resigned at Christmas Miss Florence Jensen became the new advisor. This year for the first time' they took an active part in student affairs. Many clubs and organizations such as Thespians, Quill and Scroll, and the Cannon Report were open to their membership. It was a time when they were expected to use their own initiative, and these students showed what they could do when they put on their class play, The Whole Town's Talking , which brought some much-needed moola into their treasury so that they could put on a prom in the spring. The theme for the Junior Prom of 1944 was A Garden of Memories . Lattices of twining flowers, huge butterflies, gay streamers, and a picturesque backdrop were features of the decorations. Wilma Blackwood was crowned queen, with Dorothy Dedman, Emogene Anderson, and Phyllis Birkeland as attendants from the junior, sophomore, and freshman classes respectively. SENIOR YEAR Entering their last year of high school, there were many of the original members of the class gone. For their final year in high school the seniors chose Lee Katzen- berger, for president: Stanley Smith, vice president: and Barbara Birkeland, secre- tary-treasurer: with Mrs. Kathleen Holm as sponsor. Soon after their class was organized, the seniors had their traditional fling ot power when they paddled the freshmen into the society of FBHS. followed by a party given for the freshmen.
