For initiation they had to dress as children, and carry teddy bears or dolls. The girls had their hair in 5 pig tails and the boys wore hair ribbons and make-up. Although there really isn't much activity for the freshman class, they went through the regular routines of giving a return party for the seniors, and in the spring the whitewashing of the When the seniors wouldn't help, the freshies took it upon themselves to shine up the B and have a picnic. Thus ended the first year as the green freshman. SOPHOMORE YEAR President ,. . H W s,,,s,,,,, . ,,s,s,,,,,, Steve McSweeney Vice-president , ,, , , , , Don Huffman Secretary-treasurer ,,,..

The sophomores began to show they had some talent in their class. Jack Lepley became an asset to the basketball team. Emogene KAndersonJ Katzenberger was a member of the cheerleading group. Bernice Cooper and Shirley Spear were two of the high school's baton twirlers. One April evening the class had a party at school where they danced old-time folk dances. Then the time came when the sophs put away their books and waited patiently for their junior year of school.

This year, Thespians, Cannon Report Staff, and Quill and Scroll were open to juniors for their membership. Just before Thanksgiving vacation, the junior class gave a party at which everyone dragged out their jeans and plaid shirts, loggers and corn cob pipes-yes, it was the Junior Barn Dance. The gym was decorated with straw and the lights turned low. The stage was fixed like a corral, in which there was a big keg of cider for the thirsty dudes. The juniors held a farewell party for Mary Lou Cooper. The boys furnished the lunch and planned the program. Donald Archer and Raymond York were lost from the junior class when they enlisted in the armed forces. When Kenneth Scott dropped school in March, Charles Behrens took on the duties of president. and Charles Stewart was elected vice-president. Then came the day when the juniors put on the class play, Best Foot Forward, a Broadway hit by John Cecil Holm and directed by Miss Mildred Glover. The gym was decorated for the junior prom on April 27, with pine trees and a make-believe mountain on the stage, the theme being Springtime in the Rockies. Bob Nelson's orchestra furnished the music. Barbara Ellis was queen, Ann Katzenberger, senior attendant, Caroline Postill, junior attendant, Phyllis Birkeland, sophomore attendant, and Betty Breiter, freshman attendant. The juniors lost a classmate when Dick Arnst completed his high school work in three years and graduated in the spring with the class of '45. Once again the class put away their work of a happy and eventful year to wait for their last year when they would be seniors.
