Freshmen BACK ROW: Left to Right: Larry Seibert, Roger Bloomfield, David Wiese, Ronald Hays, James Biddle, and Jerold Plumb. FRONT ROW: Melvin Wiles, Marilyn Bohrofen, Ruth Kinsey, Sylvia Pinegar, and Lloyd Peitzman. On August 28, 1950, eleven Freshmen enrolled in Grimes High School. We graduated from eighth grade with no addition to our group. We found four subjects waiting for us, Algebra, English, Manual Training, and Home Economics. Soon after school began, we elected class officers: Larry Seibert, President: Jerold Plumb, Vice-President: Lloyd Peitzman, Secretary and Treasurer. I One dreadful day, we Freshmen were called together by the upperclassmen, namely, the Seniors. We received slips of paper and we knew that Freshman Initiation was at hand. We obeyed orders and paraded through the grade rooms. The evening party was enjoyed by everyone, even we Freshmen, who had to clean up, were happy to know that we now were full fledged high school students and need fear no upperclas smen. We have distinguished ourselves in thekvarious high school activities. David Wiese, Ronald Hays, Lloyd Peitzman, and Marilyn Bohrofen were members of the band, David Wiese and Marilyn Bohrofen taking part in the swing band. We also featured in homecoming as our float rated second and we felt it an honor to have Ruth Kinsey chosen as an attendant. Our class almost entirely turned out for Athletics, the boys doing good work in football, basketball and baseball, and Ruth Kinsey played on the first team in basketball. And last, but not least, we did our bit in contributing to the social life of the school by sponsoring a square dance in February. Refreshments were punch and cookies. We feel that we have completed a very successful year under the guidance of our sponsor, Mrs. Schlueter. Se-venth and Eighth BACK ROW: Left to Right: Rudy Wipperman, Marvin Bauman, Joe House, Edwin Baer, Larry King, Roger Bartelt, Lavern Grief, and Larry Osterhout.

A week later, we had a newcomer, Thomas Wooters. Near the mid-year, Larry King moved to Waukee. About two weeks before Christmas, the eighth grade girls gave a party for the rest of the room. We invited some of the high school students. On the 22nd of December, we had our Christmas Party. We went to a show in the assembly and presents were passed out. We had a two-weeks vacation from school. January Znd we returned to school. On the fifth of February, our teacher, Mr. Erps, was stricken with meningitis. He was ill for three weeks. Meanwhile Mrs. Paul Smith and Mr. Roser substituted for him. On the 26th of February, Mr. Erps came back. On March 5th, we participated in the Music Festival. We feel that the year 1951 has been a very successful one. ZZ
