After we had gone for a week or two, we had our biggest day-initia- tion! The boys were dressed in long underwear, four buckle overshoes, shorts and shirts over their undies , and ribbons in their hair. The girls wore men's overalls backward, two kinds of men's shoes on wrong feet, their hair on curlers and a man's cap or hat. Of course we were all smeared with lipstick. We had to crawl up and down stairs, carry books and nearly any- thing the other students wanted us to do. ln ninth hour we had a program where each of us had to act out a stunt. At our first class meeting, we elected the following officers for our class: President, Dick Bowman, Vice President, Florence Hixson, Secretary, Joyce Burnett, and Treasurer, Don Wyatt. Our Student Council representa- tives were Dick Bowman, Carlene Reifstck, and Junior Grindley, and our class sponsor was Mr. McElroy. Several members of our class were in band and chorus, and we were also well represented on the honor roll.
