Sophomores Two years ago, 39 awkward, green boys and girls entered Lena High School as freshmen. That year we elected all boys to be our class officers. They were: Roger Bohm, presidentg Bob Clair, vice president: Lennie Kusie, secretary, Norman Hintz, treasurerg and Jack Parkinson, class representative. Our advisers were Mr. Paul Henry and Miss Helene Dunn. Two of our first activities each year have been our float in the Fall Festival and selling magazines. We became feshman legally when the sophomores tortured us at initiation. In return for this we sponsored a party for them in November. This year we elected as our officers: Adrienne Schneider, president, Norman Hintz, vice presidentg Mary Jean Rampenthal, secretaryg LaVerne Buske, treasurer: and Wendel Kurth, class representative. Miss Hoffman and Mr. Macomber were our advisors. This year the tables were turned-we initiated the freshman and they gave us a return party. The highlight of our year was the one-act play, Billy Buys an Orchid, which we gave at an assembly program in February. 25

Our officers that year were: Gerald Goethe, presi- dent: Marilyn Prasse, vice president: Ernest Carder, secretary: Gail Fluegel, trea- surer: and Larry Hawes, class representative . Those who survived the initiation gave a return party for the sophomores that fall. Our advisers were Miss Helene Dunn and Mr. Russell Blagg. In our sophomore year, we had the pleasure of initiating the freshmen, who later entertained at a return paty for us. We also gave a one-act play, Sally Takes a Bow. Our officers were: Ernest Carder, president: Carl McNair, vice president: Larry Hawes, secretary: Gerald Goethe, treasurer, and Marilyn Prasse, class rep- resentative. Miss Donker and Mr. Macomber were our advisers. We began the past school year with 35 members led by Marilyn Prasse, presi- dent: Gerald Goethe, vice president: Carl McNair, secretary: Joanne Boeke, trea- surer: and Rita Peters, class repesentative. Mr. Burkhalter and Mrs. Kane were our sponsors. We started the year royally by winning first place in the high school division with our float in the parade at the Fall Festival. We went on to produce success- fully the play, Cheaper by the Dozen, in November. We topped the other classes in sales during the magazine drive. Also, in November we received our class rings. We began to see the climax of our high school years approaching when on May 16 we had the annual prom in honor of the seniors to finish a happy and properous year for the Class of '54. 24
