The sophs in the high school band are John Frazier, clarinet, Jack Voss, Retta Mar- ing, Helen Wiebenga, Maxine VanZuiden, and Ed Kolk, percussion, Carl Rogers, bari- tone, Gerry Voss, trombone, and Don Loftus, bass horn. Ruth Feldt was chosen as our sophomore attendant to the football queen and also as attendant to the track queen. We are coming to the end of our sopho- more year, and I know we are all looking for- ward to our junior year, a year we are upper classmen, but not the year we have to leave F. H. S. The sophomores came into the school building with assurance. It wasn't like last year when we didn't know where to go or what to do. We feel as if we belong to Ful- ton High now. The class officers were soon elected. They were: Kenneth Fanderclai, President, Joel Bielema, Vice President, Bob Flinn, Sec- retary, and Fred Fiet, Treasurer. Class clues were set at 50c a semester. Our class advi- sors are Miss Ryner and Mr. Vance. In October the class decided to have a hayrack ride just for its members. Don Wier- sema and Fred Fiet furnished the transporta- tion. The party started at the school, and we went for a ride in the country which end- ed up at the Barrel Pit. Hot dogs and pop were then devoured by the hungry sophs. Another ride was enjoyed, and we headed back to town. A few people fell off the hay- racks now and then, but all was fun. Our sophomore class gave their all- school party on March 24. The theme was The Old Barn Dance . As the guests enter- ed the Coliseum through the swinging barn gates, they were confronted by the soft glow of red lanterns and the musty smell of hay and old leather. The farm set which center- ed the refreshment table completed the au- thenticity of the scene. The students enter- ed into the square dances, which were di- rected by Mrs. Fagan, and soon made the Old Barn shake as they slid and stomped through the calls of the dances. Singing, games and social dancing was also enjoyed, as were the not-to-be-forgotten refreshments. Page 29

Page 30 Freshmen Class History The Freshmen made their first becom- ing appearance at F. H. S. on September 6, 1949. The spacious study hall with ever so many seats gave us no warm reception, and we wondered how we'd ever be able to find our own seats. Then came initiation. The girls were to adorn thmselves in men's green socks, peer shyly from men's bibbed Coveralls, on back- wards, and a green stripped shirt forcing its ridiculous appearance here and there. The girl's dainty feet were roped or corded in plow shoes. The boys wore ladies green hatsg green skirts with jeans rolled up to display their ladies' sheer black hose. To top off everything, they had to wear a green stripped pajama top. At the end of the day our arms felt as if not only did we carry our books and the Seniorsg but it felt as if we had to carry the sophomore's and junior's books too. At night after making sure we were red in the face from lipstick, the Seniors let us in the Coliseum, only to be found guilty in the Senior court. Each Freshmen had to pay his penalty. If he didn't pay his penalty he got the hot seat. Some got the electric chair as
