X 1 ,Iye!' Glass history ' It September of 1948 was a notable time, for that was when the present Senior Class started as Freshmen. There were twelve in our class, but three pupils dropped out before the end of the year. Our freshman class officers were elected as follows: Marilyn Freese, President: lda Mae Shankel, Vice-President, and LeRoy Lucke as Sec- retary-Treasurer. Our first sponsor was M s. Mein. The greenhorns' Cas we Freshmen were calledl first events were freshman initiation and giving a return party for the Sophomores. Toward the end of the year a skating party was held. Nine students started the Sophomore year, but at the semester's end Marilyn Freese transferred to Grant High School. Class officers for the sophomore term were LeRoy Lucke, President: Bob Westhoff, Vice-President, Marilyn Freese, Secretary-Treasurer for the first semester and Helen Wardrip for the second semester. With the aid and guidance of our sponsor, Mrs. Dorothy Price, we initiated the Freshmen and later sponsored a skating party. We started our Junior year with eleven students and Mrs. Eloomcamp as sponsor. The elected class officers were LeRoy Lucke, President: Clarence Allison, Vice-President: Catheryn Weber, Sec- retary, and Harold Headrick, Treasurer. The Junior Play 'The Case of the Missing Heirs' was presented on November 9. Other events were a skating party at Walnut and a weiner roast at Farlington Lake. Of course, the most me orable of our Junior activities was the Junior-Senior Banquet, which carried out a Mother Goose theme. Our decorations, menu, toasts, and mus- ical numbers on the program were all in keeping with the Mother Goose theme. We were served by waiters and waitresses character- izing Little Boy Blue, Little Red Riding Hood, Little Miss Muffet, Old Mother Hubbard, Mistress Mary, Little Jack Horner, Little Bo Peep our sponsor for this, our Senior year, is M s. Mein. Our offi- cers are LeRoy Lucke, President, Helen Wardrip, Vice President: Harold Peadrick, Secretary: and Mary Lou Peterson, Treasurer. The third day of school we proudly accepted our Senior rings.. The production of our annual is our biggest undertaking. As this book goes to press many of our year's activities are still in the future and we are looking forward to class parties, our class play, the Junior-Senior Banquet, Baccalaureate, and Commenc ment. All these will be but a few of the cherished memories we will have of Hepler High when we are out of school and have a few min- utes to think about the good times we used to have. 4-
