JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY XYe entered Senior High in September, 19-lo feeling very proud and conceited. Our conceit was soon taken out of us hy the Seniors during Freshman lnitiation. The girls wore wool socks over shoes, table-cloth sarongs, large green crepe paper hows, no make-up or jewelry, uncomhed hair and paper bag hats. The lnoys wore wool socks over shoes, make up, jewelry and paper bag hats. VVith this, we had to carry out any order given by our Senior inastcrsffsuch as carrying trays and hooks. NVe were all glad to welcome Friday, as then we were to dress up. That evening a dance was given in our honor. Thus ended the dreaded ordeal of Freshman Initiation. The election of officers and the annual parties followed throughout the year. The following fall we returned to school as gay, young sophomores. Our year as sophs', proved to he a very successful one for us. Dur- ing this year, we sponsored our first dance. In The 1949 Log the spring, plans were made and carried out for a Sophomore Carnival which also proved successful. At the end of the year, after dues were collected and all our profit added up, our hopes for a Senior trip once more came into view. This year, as juniors, we think of ourselves as upper classmeu, each day getting closer to our goal-graduation. This year we are di- vided into two homerooms. These are the art room under the supervision of Miss Troyer, and 209 under Miss Mink. Our junior Council is composed of the fol- lowing meinhersi l'resident, Ray lfdwards, Vice President, .loan Rowe, Secretary, Roy Lee Leonard, with our tifth memlaer heing Clark Tyler. VVC are all looking forward to the planning and sponsoring of the Junior Prom. 13

Wie were divided into two rooms, the advanced science under Miss Connell, and the elementary science under Mr. Matalavage. The following officers were elected in Mr. Matalavages room: President-Bob Hubhelg Vice President-David Crawford 3 Secretary- Mary Cowan, and TreasurerfAnn Willier. In Miss Connell's room the oliicers elected were: President-Doris Hull, Vice President-Joyce Slade, Secretary-john Goupilg and Treasur- er-Bob Kavanaugh. VV e elected Carol Leming the homeroom representative, and Norman Pirie the alternate. Freshmen Initiation came about three weeks after school started. The girls were seen around school with their dresses inside out and back- wards, hair in a minimum of ten rags, one silk Thr 1949 Log stocking and one ankle sock, and two different shoes. The first day they wore rouge on one cheek and no other make-up. The second day they added rouge on the other cheek, and third day lipstick on one half of their lips, and the fourth day they added lipstick on the other half. The boys were seen wearing feed bags, neck- ties, their pants rolled up above the knees, and two different shoes. They had one silk stocking and one ankle sock. Their hair was parted in the middle with a long stocking hanging down their backs. VVe all had to wear signs saying we were the lowly servant of mistress or master: so and so. No freshmen were allowed to use the main stairs. All during the day we were seen carrying the senior's books in the halls and bowing to the seniors. This kept up until Fri- day when we all dressed up. During the year each homeroom had a Hallo- ween and Christmas party. 15
