JUNIOR CLASS President Vice-Pres. Sec.-Trees. Sqt.-ot-Arms Perry Roper Bill Dayton Burton Wilson Curtis Struss JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY Timidly entering the halls of M.P.H.S., fifty some freshmen managed to be enrolled before they died of fright. On October 29, we were finally declared members of our Alma Mater after a frightening day at the mercy of the sophomores, with the other classes pitching in to see how miserable they could make us feel. Our first year was not too eventful with us gallantly trying but never managing to get very high in interclass contests. Mrs. Brumbaugh guided us through our first difficult year as freshmen. Coming back our second year, we had lost Bob Bushness, Ray Stickle, and Steve Jolly to the service of our country, and Larry Cook soon after he had enrolled. After losing these members, our class advisor, whom we hoped to have for a second year, left us and Mrs. Barry stepped into her place only to leave soon. For several weeks we were a very mixed-up class, with Mrs. Laird and several other teachers as substitutes, but we finally acquired Mr. Garrett, who capably led us the remainder of the year. Everyone noticed the cars rolling out of Myrtle Point, packed with sophomores and headed for the skating rink, one spring evening. We had so much fun that we returned a few weeks later on a Girls’ Athletic adventure with Miss Glenerva Harnsburger. The sophomore assembly was quite a successful one beginning with a gay pantomime with Bill Dayton and Maxine Wilson playing the leading parts. With no other eventful happenings we left our second year to become very proud upperclassmen. My, what proud people we juniors are. Not being very successful our first two years, we jumped to second in almost every interclass contest in our third year. Our proudest moment was when we won first in the boys’ basketball contest. With a new' principal. Mr. Dallas Norton, directing us, the school put on a carnival which proved to be a huge success. Our princess, Ramona Francisco, ran a close race with the other three princesses w'ho were candidates for queen. The freshman princess was crow'ned, but Ramona followed very closely in the number of votes. We have several boys who are lettermen and girls who are members of the Girls’ Athletic Association. Many of our junior students are officers in other school organizations. Ramona Francisco and Leland Harry are secretary and tieasurer respectively of Torch Honor; Burton Wilson is president of the F.F.A. executive committee; Bob Detlefson, vice-president; Don Davenport, secretary; Glade Krewson, treasurer; and Murl Laird, reporter. Burton Wilson is also vice-president of the Student Council; Chet Zumwalt, sergeant-at-arms; and Eloise Vadnais, junior representative. Dolores Barkley is treasurer of the G. A. A., and Myra Wyrick is treasurer of the Girls’ League. Around mid-term, another boy, Marvin Crosby, left to serve his country in the marines. Mentioning Marvin w’e think of his name on the “freshman band’’ cup for being the outstanding musician in beginner’s band. And not to be forgotten is our girl whose name is on the cup for the most popular freshman girl. You know I’m speaking of Charlotte Watson, to whom our loss was North Bend’s gain. On March 22, the junior class presented “Which Shall He Marry?” starring Ed Brown, who had a difficult time deciding between Eloise Vadnais. Dolores Barkley, Pat Overton, Ramona Francisco, and Evelyn Leeper, with Eloise the fortunate girl. April 5 we honored the seniors with the annual banquet held at the Presbyterian Church and later along with the underclassmen we danced to the enchanting music of Medford Fuller and his orchestra. The junior class well deserves the congratulations on «the effect that resulted from their hard work on the gym. One could hardly recognize the gym when they walked into it and beheld such a beautiful scene. Yes, we juniors are a proud class and we are going to make every effort to be one of the best senior classes ever to graduate from M. P. H. S.

SOPHOMORE CLASS President Vice-Pres. See.-Trees. Sgt.-ot-Arms Bill Roush John Wise Fronk Hoffmon Jock Osborne SOPHOMORE CLASS HISTORY As we look back over our frerhman year and vividly recall all of our many experiences, we remember best of all that first day at school and how nervous and excited we all were. We were called into the auditorium by Mr. Linn and told about the subiects we were to take and how to conduct ourselves in classes and the building. We also remember, a little vaguely perhaps, of somethin ? said in regard to throwing chalk, erasers, or paper airplanes. Then much to our sorrow came initiation, a little late, for we had been told that we were too old to have such things. The ones that survived it were pretty lucky, for most of us had acute indi- gestion after eating raw oysters and anything else the sophomores gave us. Soon after initiation came the sophomore-freshman tug-of-war, an annual attraction here at M. P. H. S. Luckily most of us knew how to swim, for they practically drowned all of us including anyone who happened to be with them. •George Nichols led us as our rresident with Harry Summers, vice-president; Norman Jarvis, repiesentative; and Jimmy Cooper, secretary-treasurer. Mr. Kirsh was our class advisor, and the one who gets the credit for bringing us through a very trying year. And don't forget our class picnic with some of the boys being brave enough to go in swimming. And all the potato salad, (incidentally some got spilled in the bus), cold weiners with too much mustard, and if you were lucky you only got a mouth of sand with it. With a few other minor incidents we brought our first year at Myrtle Point High School to a fine ending. A year that we can look back upon with many happy memories. To start this eventful year the class of “ 48, began with the freshman initiation and the sophomore-freshman tug-o’-war. They were held the same day so it was pretty hard on the freshies, they got a good soaking but all were good sports. For the freshman return party we danced in the gym. Cookies and punch were served for refreshments. The cookies were “delicious, but say, freshies, what ever did you put in that punch? We all had a good time, anyway. Our class put on an assembly March 28. We had popular songs by Connie Sheppard, Martina Kin-cheloe, and Coach Ray Neugart. A skit entitled “The Rummage Sale, was given with the cast of Norman Jarvis, Ruth Summerlin, and Nancy Haga. Mr. MacNab played two piano solos and the school orchestra also played. Both the football and basketball letters were given out during the assembly by Coach Neugert. Our class was represented in the Letterman’s Club by : George Nichols, who received letters in track last year, and in football and basketball this year. Norman Jarvis got his letter in track last year, and Jack Osbo:ne and John Wise got their letters as track managers also last year. Betty Smith, Twyla Royer, Ann Pointer, Shirly Train, Irene Banick, and Geraldine Ginn represented our class in G. A. A. The sophomore class brought forth a very fine record of Torch Honor members. We were three members ahead of the juniors and lagged only two behind the seniors. They were Corlyss Lucas, Nancy Haga, Louise Epperson, Martina Kincheloe, Shirly Train, Frank Hoffman, Harry Summers, and Edwin Ellis. The Torch Honor members had a lot of fun initiating us but rewarded us with a sumptuous banquet. WTe look forward to an eventful junior year, but will always hold dear those memories of the days when we were sophomores.
