CLASS HI TQRY Green Freshmen -that's what they called us that day back in 1950 when the doors of higher education, Marsing High School, were opened unto us. We were 46 in number and our first item of business was that of electing officers. From among us we chose: lim Starr ,,,..,..,,,.....,.,,..,,,,,.....,.,. ..,,,,.,tt..,.,,......... P resident Nick Pascoe .... ...,, ,,,,. V i ce President Ioyce Muldoon ..Ai,.,,. .........t. S ecretary Lee Fleck ,,,,.,...,,, ,,,,,,t....,.,,,, t,,,,,tt ,.,,,.,,t,,,,,. T r e asurer Arlene LaRue and Paul McKague .... Student Council Representatives Mrs. Laughlin and Mr. Purcell ....,.,,............,, Sponsors Mrs. Starr and Mrs. Usabel ,..,....YV,,..,, Room Mothers After much lengthy discussion we decided upon rose and silver for our class colorsp peony, class flowery Aim High and Hold Steady, our class motto. A very eventful year followed our initiation by the Sophomores. We gave our share of parties, both for our class and for the School. Ioyce Muldoon was chosen to attend the Homecoming Queen. Belva Larsen and Nick Pascoe were our candi- dates for Carnival King and Queen. We jumped the gun in the spring, as we are in the habit of doing, by giving a class party directly alter graduation, under the name of Sophomores. The following officers were elected for our Sophomore year: lim Starr ,,,,,Y,,,,.,,..,,... .......,,,,,.,, P resident Wayne Maggard ,rr...,. ..... V ice President Arlene LaRue ....,......... ........ S ecretary Dick Buxton .,...,,.................,,.,.,........,,,,........,...,, Treasurer Carmen Usabel and Nick Pascoe ........ Student Council Representatives Mrs. Laughlin and Mr. Parrish ..,,,,..............,.i, Sponsors Mrs. Axtell, Mrs. Starr, Mrs. Buxton, Mrs. Panzeri ,,............ Room Mothers We started the year with 45 members. Five of these were new to our clan. We lost six from the spring before and two more dropped out during the year. We initiated the Freshmen soon after the beginning of school. It only lasted one day but we sure caused a riot in that one day. We were proud to welcome them as members of Marsing High School. Dolores Axtell was chosen for our attendant to the Homecoming Queen. Sophomore Sweethearts were Do- lores Axtell, Molly Panzeri, Donna Hazen, and Evalyn Hunt. On March 28 we sponsored the Mardi Gras, a costume ball. This was our first attempt to make money in antici- pation of next year's Prom. It was a huge success. We tried to get this made into an annual affair but failed in that respect. A Sophomore class party was held on October 14 in the H. S. Gym. It was noted that also in attendance were some Freshmen, Iuniors, and Seniors. Everyone had fun. Our next class party was a Iunior party because we held it directly after graduation in the spring. We started our upper-class years in the fall of 52 . We elected the following class officers: Gene Smith .......,.,,.....................,.......,....,,,........ President Carmen Usabel ........ ...... V ice President Dolores Axtell ....... .......,..., S ecretary Arlene LaRue .........,.................................... ...... T reasurer Belva Larsen and Iohn Mahler ........ Student Council Representatives ' Mrs. Smith, Mrs, LaRue, Mrs. Usabel, Mrs. McKague .......... Room Mothers Mrs Grant and Mr. Young ................ Class Sponsors Arlene LaRue was elected attendant to Homecoming Queen. Our candidates for Carnival King and Queen were Gene Smith and Rita Bish. Sweethearts were Belva Larsen, Carmen Usabel, Dolores Axtell, and Arlene LaRue. Being Iuniors it was our privilege to sponsor the Prom. As it was the biggest activity of the year it took much of our time and money. In preparation for this we gave the Christmas Dance, our class play Hillbilly Weddin', and the talent show. All of these were successful in many phases, including financial. The theme of the Prom was You Belong to Me . The decorations followed the words of this popular song. Our class parties consisted of a party Halloween night over by the Lake and, of course, our traditional first-party-after-graduation. Elected by the students of M.H.S. for Student Body officers were: Iim Starr i,.,. ............. P resident Nick Pascoe ...... ....... V ice President Arlene LaRue ...... ii.......

Belva Larsen, Rita Bish, Lucille Dines, and Helen Wilson were Class Sweethearts for the Sweethearts Ball and Ioyce Muldoon was crowned Band Sweetheart. We put on our class play An Apple for Eve early in the fall and it was a big success. Along with all the other activities we still found time to order announcements, get pictures taken, arrange for speakers, and all the other things that go along with graduation. A party was given for us by our room mothers in February at the Sunny Slope Grange Hall. We also held another in April. Now that the Sneak, Prom, and Graduation are over we Alumni are going out to face the future and seek our fortunes. We would like to express our sincere thanks to all those who have helped us through these last four years. To our room mothers and sponsors go our special thanks. -14-
