Ah!! and o o oh!!! High school!! Forty six round eyed freshmen gazed in wonder at the portals they were to enter for the first time Green yes! Dumb w e e e ll! Willing to learn YES!!!! Under the careful and cautious guidance of our sponsor, Miss Harney, we skipped merrily through our first year An all school valentine party was our crowning success , b t we also had two 'freshmen only' parties One of these was in October, and the other was a combination bicycle hike and wiener roast at city lake at the end of our gloriously successful year 1942 A superior feeling group this time Gosh!!! Sophomores now not mere amazingly successful all school party after a basketball game resulted The school orchestra did the honors, and everyone went home happy Miss Helmknmp and Mr Waxler, the principal acted as our class sponsors 1943 Something new!!! Something different!!! Now as juniors we must do something really original With the help of our sponsors, Mrs Myers and Mr Wsxler, we held a carnival on November 5 It came up to expectations and was the shining event of the year Laurens Casper was dected carnival queen, and everyone decided that fortune tellers, mysterious professors,and ladies who laid on beds of nails were something which should be repeated Next we ordered symbolic class rings from Jostens and waited for their arrr val in feverish expectation 'Growing Pains was the play selected, Miss Peterson being our director The hilarious adolescent life of Terry and Ceorge kept the audience roaring and begging for more Another big event was the Junior Senior banquet which was placed in a realistic Hawaiian set ting Dancers in grass skirts added the last touch to a perfectly dswrated ballroom 1944 Seniors at last!!! But with the realization that there remained but one short year of pleasant high school life, we plunged into th1ngs,altern ately gleefully and remorsefully, with the prospect of graduation To keep the memory of our friends close in o r minds in later years we gave a party for nseniors onlyn, and when the weatherman obliged we had 3 gleighing party Many seniors participated ln sports, newspaper work, club acuN1t1es and worked feverishly with good results The juniors topped off the with a memorable banquet given in our honor Not soon will we forget an event The crowning achievement of our four years is this yearbook have put our hearts and souls into these pages ln our endeavor to make m complete picture of our school life In days to come when we look our high school days, with the mellowness that comes with age, we will for these days the best of our lives I' year such them cqg sigh ' -- I, ll freshmen!
