One of the first things they accomplished was to elect Shirley Bloom as Class President and Darlene Rowland Vice-President. Marlys Dow and Joe Smith were the other officers. It did not take these freshmen long to form their opinions of high school. In interviews conducted by the MILACHI, it was revealed that the three things freshmen liked best about Milaca High School were free periods, the four o'clock bell, and 'the days we d1dn't have science.' Shirley Bloom and Joe Smith were elected as the best all-round freshmen. The sophomore year was begun with the election of the following officers Arlene Monroe Hawkinson as president, Dennis Peterson as Vice-president, Norman as secretary, and Irvin Anfinson as treasure.

Our first stop was Madlson Square Gardens. The current attractions were local boys, with Dale Helmsn A fighting for the heavywright championship with Joe Louis, and Alvln Freeze f and Harvey Fleck entertaining us between the bouts. E As we journeyed on our way, we couldn't help noticing the large crowd F- that was gathered along Broadway. Why it was breathtaking! There were all E sorts of celebrities and notables. Pushing through the crowd we found out t from Sybil Lunn and Warren Hanson, current hits on Broadway, that they ' had jus inlshed the stage production of 'Medea.' 5 Next we went over to Columbia University where we found Robert Abrahamson 2 the Swedish teacher talking to Audrey Schenck, who was exhlbitlng Eer latest Q contributions to art. In talking to them we discovered Eugene Alderink, E had entered into the ministry. 5 As we went over to the new public library, donated to the city by multi-millionaire, Jim Horn uist, we found the librarians, Ph llis Lambke I and Ardis Anderson,T5yplng to quiet down Willis Olson and lrvln Anflnson, who Had just came ln.
