SENIOR CLASS HISTORY With the recognition of being one of the smallest freshmen classes, came the freshmen class of 1948. They numbered 58 and chose as their officers Julanne Boekelheide, president; Jim Garvey, vice-presi- dent; and Wesley Bohn, secretary- treasurer. The members of the class promptly entered into all the activi- ties carried on in school. One of these included the choosing of fresh- men cheerleaders—Peggy Dougher- ty, Kathryn Johns, Janice Pauli, and Darlene Schmitt. Starting school in the sophomore year made the class feel like green freshmen again. The cause was the entering of the new school building. This year two boys, Maynard Vog- elgesang and Keith Anderson, were recognized in their efforts in athle- tics by receiving letters. Nine stu- dents were members of the band with three of these participating in solo and ensemble work—Julanne Boekelheide, Jackie Miller and May- nard Vogelgesang. The chorus and qlee club claimed ten of the class. Despite the difficulties encountered, the sophomores proceeded on to their junior year. That year was off to a good be- ginning with the presentation of the class play, Let Me Out of Here, a the junior and senior years. Receiv- ing membership in the M Club were Roy Martell and Bill Weber. Phoebe Adler represented the class on the debate squad. The Boys' and three-act comedy. Kathryn Johns was chosen a cheerleader for both Girls' Staters chosen were Keith Anderson, Neil Elliott, John Judge, Julanne Boekelheide, and Jackie Miller. Five members were initiat- ed into the National Honor Society in the junior year and three in the senior year. The highlight of the 1950-51 school year was the Junior-Senior Prom and Banquet with Down by the Rio Grande as the theme. Another rea- son that the prom stands out is the fact that this was the first year that outsiders were permitted to attend. By 1951 the class had dwindled to 42 and they began their senior year. The first big event was Homecoming when Julanne Boekelheide and Keith Anderson reigned as queen and king. Other major events were the class play, Inner Willy, student government day, and career day. For skip day the seniors journeyed to Minneapolis. This brings to a close the accomplishment of 12 rungs on the ladder of success, but we will go on, as our motto declares, Not to the top; still climbing. Page 3
