50-Year Class Adds Glorious Chapter to School History Barbara Peterson's bookkeeping practice is going to give her a start in some office. Here the adding machine gets a workout. In September 1949, the class of ’5. began its reign as freshmen. We felt we had come a long way, for we now occupied the middle section of the balcony, claimed the study hall as our home room, and took such impressive subjects as latin, algebra, and business. Moreover, we had two representatives on the basketball team, an honor not many freshmen classes can claim. That year passed quickly and we soon found ourselves at the bottom of the scale as far as the senior high was concerned, for we were lowly sophomores. But this position carried many new and exciting features. Under the leadership of Bruce McGlasson we did our best to carry out these responsibilities and enjoy this life as senior highers. As our first attendants we chose Luannc Winter-field and Donna Fox to reign at homecoming. Fateh sophomore was thrilled to the core when our classmate, Dave Tschimpcrle, was declared an All-Stater at the tournament. This honor partly made up for the heart-breaking defeat by Canby in the initial playoff of that tournament. Then came the long-awaited junior year. We were now upperclassmen, we got class rings, and we were counted in on the Junior-Senior banquet. Dave Tschimpcrle showed his ability off the basketball fl x r, to be on par with that while playing, by presiding over our class and guiding us through the trying prom and banquet days. Our theme was Garden m the Rain and from the opinions of most students it was a success—and we breathed a sigh of rcliel. That year, for the first time, our basketball team won the state championship. Three of our boys, Dave Tschimpcrle, Dan Tschimpcrle and Jerry Porter made up a vital part of that team. Again we were proud when Jerry and Dave came home all-staters, Jerry for the first time, Dave for the second. Along the line of prominent students were Lu-ann Wintcrfield and Richard Hcineckc, our girl and boy staters, and Carol Adams and Judy Moilancn, who reigned along with the homecoming queens and their royal courts. In September 1952, each of us came to school saying, “Can it be possible that I am a senior? Material proof such as class pictures, social science, literature of England and class meetings led by Richard Hcinecke proved it to be so. This year, homecoming belonged to us. We chose the queens, Lottie Calvin and Betty Wenzel, and their senior ladies-in-waiting Phyllis Rogers, Myrna Rea lander, Barbara Peterson and Marlys Kopcsky. 'Fo make our high schools days complete, our team went back to the state basketball tournament and brought home the big trophy along with an unequaled record ol 47 straight victories. And to our now famous trio of basketball experts, Dave, Dan, and Jerry, we say, Thanks for a wonderful gift and congratulations for a job well-done. Then when top honors were given out to Mavis Bren, valedictorian, Lois Carlson, salutatorian, and DAR girl Luannc Wintcrfield, we knew our high school days were almost over. But before we leave our place as students to become alumni, we want our entire faculty to know we truly appreciate their hard work and invaluable aid. You have made an indelible mark on our lives and we will be ever grateful for it. And to everyone connected with Hopkins high we say Thanks for making our high school days really worth remembering.
