After many hours of worry and work they presented a beautiful and very appropriate float for the homecoming parade. ln the field of sports the sophomore boys as members of Frosh-Soph squads really put themselves in the spot light. They fought for and won the Southwestern Divi- sion of the North Central Conference championship in football. ln basketball, they placed second in the Whole North Central Conference, which is really toughl The sophomore boys give promise of good material for the varsity team for next year. loan Sonntag and Darlene Martin were chosen from their class as Frosh-Soph cheerleaders. Their pep and enthusiasm led the lay-Tees to many victories. loan Grey and Audrey Truckenbrod also did outstanding jobs of baton twirling as they led the band across the foot- ball field during the halves of the games. ln sports the girls were not to be outdone by the boys, as was shown by their participation in GAA. They really showed up for the sports such as swimming, tumbling and basketball. The sophomores willingly participated in the usual ways of making money for their class such as magazine sales and running the doghouse at football games. Like the last two sophomore classes the Class of '53 was confronted with the problem of choosing a class ring which they all liked. Every member of the class was sure that the ring chosen this year was an ideal one. Speech activities this year drew the attention and in- terest of many of the sophomores. Sherrill Davis, lane Vogelsang, Kathleen Weiss, Gary Olson, Harriett Shed, lunior Nance, Mary Ebbinghaus, Virginia Smith and ludith Lambert were all on the debate squad. Mary Lou Bruckner, lunior Nance, Bill Durham and Gary Olson were in the conference play, You Can't Take lt With You. There were also many speech contestants. lane Vogelsang, Mary Lou Bruckner, Harriett Shed and Patti l-leininger came out with high honorsg in fact, they helped win first place for Mendota in the district competition. ln all their projects they were aided by their class advisers, Mr. and Mrs. Doenier, Mr. Koeller, and Mr. Moogk.
