Potts, C. Ramp, 15. Keller CC 77 66444 0 53 On August 31, 1949, twenty-five little Greenies entered K. H. S. After two weeks of hard work by the Sophomores the great day of initiation arrived. Bedecked in horrid make-up and wearing the clothes of the opposite sex, we started the day. Girls carried umbrellas of gigantic size, and boys wore pillows on their heads which were a sight to behold. All Freshmen were com- pelled to carry eggs in their hip pockets. Carl Curran and Richard Bryant were the winners of the Boys Leg Contest. The next event was having a freshman girl Queen at the annual homecoming dance. Con- gratulations to Joyce Potts. A candy stand was established in our Home Room. During the year this project raised the amount of the fund for our Senior Trip. Lois Stein and Peggy Hiestand entered the Regional Algebra Contest at Fowler in April. The Freshmen were seen in Sports, F. H. A., F. F, A., Hi-Y, Sunshine, Band, and Chorus. Page twenty one

Cook CAM 0 Early in September 1949, thirty Sophomores elected the following class officers: President Tom Mullen, Vice President Joe Murphyg Sec- retary Gene Burgeg Treasurer Marvin Houg- land., Witlm thoughts of a Senior trip we decided to start raising the necessary funds early in our high school career. We had a Hobo day, several Bake sales, and picked up corn. Including the class dues we now have a tidy sum of around four hundred dollars in our treasury. On November 8, the Sophomores received their silver and grey class sweaters with forest green numerals. This was a day looked forward to by every proud Sophomore. The Sophomores have received many awards. Mary Petersen was awarded a watch for high Page twenty 66 77 salesmanship in the magazine drive. Mary Starks, Martha Petersen, Delores Cook and Bob Sell participated in the Solo Contest at Crown Point. Delores and Mary won firsts and Martha and Bob seconds. Tom Mullen placed first in the American Legion essay contest. Many of the Sophomore boys participated in football, basketball and track activities, sev- eral of them making the varsity team. A number of our classmates also belong to the Sunshine Society, F. H. A., Glee Club, Band, Hi-Y, and F. F. A. We are all looking forward to next year when we will become Juniors but until then just ask any Sophomore which is the best class in school and he will answer, Sophomores',.
