Sophomore Class The class of 1950 has been active in school activities and organizations such as glee club, band, and the pep squad. They have learned through these organizations that cooperation is necessary in upholding a strong class. They have found the importance of taking part in extra-curricular activities as well as the regular program. In November the class sponsored a Sadie Hawkins dance. This is the second year the sophomores have sponsored such a dance. They hope that it will become a tradition among the sophomore class. Several members of the class had parts in the student body play, “Ring Around Elizabeth. They also did very well in both inter-scholastic and intramural sports. The class advisors were Mrs. Virgina Klein and Mr. Loyal Rich.

Headed by president, Jack Nicholls and supervisors, Mr. Fryer and Miss Harstad, the freshmen carried out the traditional duties for the school. They all survived the customary initiation with the best of sportsmanship and proved themselves a fun-loving class. Through the year many students received excellent grades and proved themselves future honor students. Douglas Blensley lead the way with straight honor grades for two terms. Athletically, approximately fifteen freshman boys were on the football “B” squad. There was also a basketball team that included twenty freshman boys with ten to travel. In girl’s sports, the freshman girls proved themselves among the best both in skill and sportsmanship. The following freshmen were on the student council: Ed Beeler, Doug Blensley. Cliff Engel, Lelaine Weiss, Pat McClain, and Donna Barner. ACTIVITIES Engel, Johnson, Rutherford, LeRoy. A. S. B. History Student Body elections were held last May for the purpose of choosing the officers to guide the Associated Students of McMinnville High School. Those elected were: Eugene Johnson, president; Betty Engel, vice-president; Janet Rutherford, secretary; and Vernon LeRoy, sergeant-at-arms. Student Boby tickets were sold in September for $2.50. This admitted students to all school-sponsored activities such as basketball and football games, student body plays, and the four National School Assembly programs during the year. This year a new plan was adapted whereby the vice-president and a committee of students planned the assembly programs. Much credit is due Betty Engel and her assembly committee for their fine job which did much to make the year 1947-48 a success. . . . . big-little sister party first event of year • • • • Seastrand, Welch, Blenkinsop First row—Loibie, Dies, Harshitian, Seastrand, Welch, Corner, Quilliam, Rutherford.

Not only did the staff publish the school newspaper but ten of the members met the qualifications and fulfilled the requirements necessary to earn Quill and Scroll membership. Th quality of the content of the McMinnvillan was probably bettered through the application of a new course in Journalism. Much of the success of the organization was due to the hard work of the editor, Ruth Kluckman, and the advisor, Miss Ethel Hamblin. a.s.b. play ring around elizabe+h presented nov. 26 • • • • First row—Kubeck, Reinstma, Jacobs, Smith, Conway, Worthley Gardner, T.

It was presented Friday, March 12, 1948, in the Senior High School gym to a capacity audience. This play, a Broadway hit many years ago, is a character comedy centering around the trials of Peg, a lovable Irish lass who comes to live with her snobbish English relatives, the Chichesters. Her Irish sense of humor carries her through, however, and she proves herself a real asset to her relatives, financially, spiritually, and socially. The splendid work of the production and stage crews in providing an unusually fine Tudor setting, and the cooperation of the cast with the very able director, Miss Ruth Lathrop, made Peg O’ My Heart” a huge success. . . . junior-senior prom was held april 24 ... .

This organization was headed by Jim Meyerink, a letter winner in all four major sports. Athletic letters at Mac Hi are given for varsity competition in any of the four recognized sports. These include basketball, baseball, football and track. In order to win an athletic letter,. a boy must have a certain amount of skill, but the real qualifications consist of willingness, faithfulness, and cooperation.
