PRESENTING THE UNDERCLASSMEN More than eight hundred underclassmen daily wend their way through the halls of L. P. H. S. to classes and study halls to prepare their lessons which will eventually lead to graduation. All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy, but all play and no work will accomplish the same, so in La Porte High School the builders are given the opportunity both to work and to play alike. Next to the highest of the builders” are the juniors whose election of class officers proved their ex- cellent judgment; consequently they have enjoyed a happy, successful year in La Porte High. James Donnelly, president, led the proud junior class with Jane Buerger as vice-president, Martha Cygan as secretary, and Lambert Landwer as treasurer. Their able sponsors, Miss Walcott and Mr. Prokl, helped to plan and carry out successfully their social activities. The social highlight of the fall season was the Thanksgiving Dance. The gym was transformed into a gay Thanksgiving scene by the hard-working committee. The juniors danced again the sixth of January by sponsoring an after-game dance. A nice sum was added to the treasurer's books for the spring social functions in addition to providing several hundred young people with a good time on a cold winter night. The climax of the junior year was reached when the members of the class served as hosts and host- esses to the graduating seniors at the Junior-Senior Prom. The beautifully decorated auditorium indeed showed to the school and to the community the initiative and ingenuity of this class. Now the juniors are almost ready to take the front seats of the assembly hall. They are looking for- ward to an even more successful year as the senior builders of 1946. Just as the juniors shouted for joy when they rose from their second year to take the title of upper- classmen, the sophomores likewise were relieved to shed the horrible name of green horns. They could at least lift their heads and smile with the rest of the school. As full-fledged members of La Porte High this enterprising class started out with a bang by electing Earl Dahl, president; William Hay, vice-president; and Robert Larson, secretary-treasurer. To guide them were their sponsors, Miss Charlotte Hogle and Mr. Grant Frantz. The freshmen looked up in awe at the sophomores and complained because their freshman year seemed so long; but as the year progressed, we may safely say the freshmen stopped running from room to room in astonished panic and at last got acquainted with their school. Although the all-important task of starting their foundations for the future consumed most of their time, yet they were well represent- ed in sports, music, and other extra-curricular activities. At the first of the school year, the freshmen functioned together as a class and elected Harold Rose- now to lead the way through their first year with Eleanor Essling as vice-president and Pat Baum- gartner as secretary-treasurer. Ready and willing to help them were Mrs. Dorothy Robey and Mr. John O. Ault, their sponsors. The freshmen have looked forward all year to handling the titles of freshie and greenie to the next crop. They were at least partially able to do this when the mid-year freshmen arrived in January. With warm days here their green hue has become dull, and the class of 1948 has high hopes of surviv- ing to continue its building for three more years in L. P. H. S. 28
