SENIOR CLASS HISTORY At the beginning of the 1947 sohool year 16 green and not too bright (at this time, that is) freshmen enrolled at Maupin High. They were Perry Barber, Clarence Bare, Stanley Davidson, Val Endersby, Jaok Farlow, David Hauser, Norman Hunt, Bob Taylor, Waldo Wing, Soott Woodside, Elisabeth Ambrose, Betty Kimbler, Arlene Place, Clara Quinn, Elouise Rutherford, and Beverly Snodgrass. Later on during the year David Bryant, Sara Hale, Helen Forsyth, and Idlete Hoffman Joined our ranks. Since then 3 of them have moved. They were David Bryant going to The Dalles, Helen Forsyth going to Mosier, Elouise Rutherford going to California. On September the 5th the Freshmen were initiated. The boys wore dresses and the girls came in gunny sacks. They went through the usual routine of polishing shoes, carrying bottles of milk, saying how green I am and parading througi the streets. In the evening the buses returned so the Freshmen could be molested further,(shall we say). They were forced to eat fish eyes and worms, crawl on their hands and knees through gravel, be hanged, sit on nails, kiss the Bible, jump off a mountain and other stunts. Before going home they were given refreshments to make up for the treatment they received, but of course there would be a catch, they had to find their shoes that had been hidden in the gym. They elected officers for the ensueing year as follows president, Beverly Snodgrass, vice president, Val Endersby, secretary-treasurer, Norman Hunt. They elected their adviser as Mr. Lienkaemper, but when Miss Autenwieth came on duty at the beginning of the second semester it was suggested by Mr. Lienkaempher, that she take over. Since then she has been their advisor. At the beginning of their sophomore year 14 sophomores had enrolled. Clinton Taylor joined the ranks later on in the year. They soon lost two members who were Idelette Hoffman going to Prineville and Clinton Taylor who joined the Navy.
