On Septemoer 2, 19 6, twenty-seven shy little freshmen walked meekly in the dosra ef Manliua High Schoel greeted by our principal, C. J. Moore. Through the events of the day we managed to meet the rest of the faculty—Mr. Kelst, Mr. Johns, Mr. Rice, Miae Brunekill, Miss Hermes, and Miss Coleman. An occurrence of our freshman year that we shall never forget is initiation. At the time, we thought the seniors were being terrifically cruel but as we recall that day we think how funny we must have looked. Carola Peterson was elected president for the year and Barbara Euepker took the office of vice-president. Vivian Wise became Sec.-Treas. and Barbara Kuepker and Alvy Roush represented our class in the student council. At the beginning of our second semester Dennis Schaefer Joined our crev and Lillie Miller left. Also at this time Mr. Keist became principal in place of Mr. Moore. Mr. Dufflaid took Mr. Moore's place as our advisor. The beginning of our sophomore year brought about the lose of four of our members—Georg Nelson, Willis Hand, Ila Immel, and Shirley Clementz—and gained one student from Hoopole, Helen Brown. Our officers for this year were: Harry Oloffson-presldent, JoAnn Vande- Velde-vloe-presldent, Alvy Roush-Sec.-Treas., Student Council members-Marlene Tomow and Dennis Schaefer, Advisor-Miss Brunskill. The faculty this year had changed considerably. We lost Mr. Duffield and Mr. Johns and gained Mr. Veach, Miss Jacobson and Mrs. Carlson. Something new had been added—a Secretary. Elinor VanOrmer filled this position. When we returned the following fall we noticed the absence of two of our members—Gordon Drayton and Billy Neahrlng. After a few weeks of school Dennis Hurley came from Sheffield to Join our happy little group. Carola was once again elected president with Dennis Schaefer as her able assistant. Anita and JoAnn were elected secretary and treasurer, respectively. Helen Hartz and Marlene Tomow took their places as members of the student council. Mies Code, a valuable addition to the faculty, became our advisor for the year. She guided us successfully through plane for our dance and an exceptionally nice prom. Another accomplishment of our Junior year was our famous play, Strictly Formal . Other changes took place in the faculty that year. Miss Hermes, Mies Jacobson, Mrc. Carlson, and Miss Brunskill left but Mr. Fay, Mrs. Loos, Rev. Zeltln, and Mr. Davidmon were added. Bob Cox left us at the beginning of our fourth and final year leaving us with a class of twenty-two. Our officers for this year are: Carola-preel- dent, Helen Hartz-vlce president, Dennis Schaefer-Secretary, Nelda Hansen-Treasurer, Harry and Vlvlan-Student Council representatives, Miss Code-advisor. Very few changes took place in the faculty. The only one we lost was Mrs. Loos and we gained Mrs. Yates and Miss Johnson. Marilyn Hadley took Elinor's place in the office, and Mr. Scholle was added to the staff. Our play, though not as good as our Junior play, proved successful as did our dance. With patient guidance of both Mias Code and Mr. Davidson we published our annual. We ended our senior year with our trip which everyone enjoyed.
