The morning of August 30, 1948 found fourteen eager looking young students en- tering Grimes High School. They were the Freshmen. Only one new member joined our ranks, Rodney Hall. On the first day of school, we went to our various classes which were algebra and English under Mrs. Schlueter, general science under Mr. Hall, manual training under- Mr. Fullrner and home economics under Mrs. Johnson, Very soon our class was organized under our class sponsor, Mrs. Schlueter. Daniel Beauchamp was chosen President, Lowell Meiers, Vice-President, Rodney Hall, Secretary, and Anne Kinsey, Treasurer. One important question was uppermost in our thoughts. That was, What about initiation? For three weeks we heard no word of it and we were in high hopes of the murderous practice being banned. However the fateful day arrived, September 12.. We spent an uncomfortable day dressed according to instructions received, then in the evening were treated to a horror show, starring us. On December 30, we were heard over S. O. at 5:00 P.M. on the program, Careers in the Making sponsored by the Register and Tribune. Our topic was Medicine. We are proud of our showing in athletics this year. Almost all of the class par- ticipated and some gained a position of the first team. On january 31, the Freshmen and Sophomores presented their play So Help Me Hannah, a domestic comedy by James F. Stone. We are sure it was a success and those of us who took part will never forget it. Shortly after this time we were joined by another new student, Betty Shepherd. We have enjoyed our first year in High School very much but are ready to give our place to the incoming Freshmen of 1949-1950. BELIEVE IT OR NOT! Education is the collection of memories as well as the art of learning.

We saw The Musketeers and took a Thanksgiving dinner to the ladies at the Home for the Blind, and enjoyed visiting with them and learning how they read. We joined the Junior Red Cross and under its direction sent scrapbooks across the sea and received some interesting letters from our new foreign friends. We sent boxes to schools across the sea and at Christmas we made a chest and a bassinette and wardrobe for a doll for Broadlawns Hospital.
