This substitution was a reward for a week of good behavior. Some of our more adventurous members started a little newspaper which lasted about two weeks. The high spot of this year was trying to make out our schedules for the next four years. We still remember very kindly some of the friendly suggestions and counsel given by Mr. Newell and our various teachers. And somehow, possibly by a good shove from a kindhearted teacher, we pulled through the eighth grade. In that everftofbe remembered year of 1947, the class of 1951 started on the last lap of its educational training with a few brains, some native ability, much conceit, and a lot of good humor. Our mental geniuses were discovered that year. To our number were added a few new members. We now thought we were the supreme rulers of Junior High, with our body and soul dedicated to being Seniors. During that year we demonstrated our acting ablity and had our first case of stage fright when we presented Bunny Comes To Town . The Coon coat worn during the play started a fad of coon coats in the school. It was this play that started many hopes of succeeding in the bigger plays to come. Early in our Sophomore year we chose Mrs. Burket as our adviser.

OCTOBER 1950 Dear Diary, Here begin the memories of the Class of 1951. When we look at the pictures of the little people in the picture below, we remember when our class began the second half of its educational career with fear and trembling, having been warned repeatedly by our dear and wellfwishing teachers of the grades that junior High was really tough, and that we would certainly have to work. Looking back on that memorable day a trickle of a tear might have been seen as we search' ed bashfully for an assigned roomemany of us eventually winding up in the wrong room, because we didn't dare ask directions of the upperclassmen or teachers. As the days progressed, we found ourselves getting more and more familiar with the building. We didn't get lost quite so often going from English to Art, or from Arithmetic to Gym. Our teachers, as time wore on, proved not to be the monsters we had imagined. With yearning hearts and eager faces we watched the older boys participating in the sports and winning the laurels that someday might be ours. We attended the games faithfully and no one cheered as lustily as we. Having achieved a determination to succeed in our education, we left for summer vacation with a Christmas party as our fond! est memory of our first year in FHS. In the fall of our eighth grade year, we looked forward to returning with much anticipation and, forgetting all too soon our seventh grade troubles, surely lorded it over the new students.

NOVEMBER 1950 AT OUR FIRST CLASS MEETING in the balcony of the Auditorium we elected the following class ofiiers: Jay Rhoads as president, Dick Haggerty as vicefpresident, Charlotte Serge as secretary, and John Harris as treasurer. These officers served faithfully and well and were refelected for our Junior year. We sponsored several successful projects in 1948. First of our class projects was selling homefmade candy at the plays and the Broadcast. Basketball schedules and pencils were sold at the games and the amount in our treasury gradually increased. In the second semester of our Sophomore year we held our first dance, The Apple Blossom Frolicn and danced to the tunes played by the FHS Swing Band. The gym was attractively decorated in keeping with the theme. During the intermission the dancers were entertained by a floor show. Guy Stallone, already beginning to be noticed for his sin ing ability, rendered a solo, accompanied by Ginny Gramlich, who amused the audience by being dressed in the garb of an old fat farm lady, Norman Beals rendered a selection on his musical saw, and Mary Ann Wiegel enter' tained with a ballet dance. After an evening of fun and dancing everyone left the frolic with a light heart. The many talented members of our class were gaining more recognition, and preparing for the leadership we were looking forward to in the next two years. As Sophomores, Ed Wible and jay Rhoads attended the football banquet and received letters for defending FHS on the gridiron. Qs ROW IAM. Gregory, R. Fulmer, A. Knooihuizen, L. Heffernan, M. Baker, F.
