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.

FRESHMAN CLASS President Vice Pres. Sec.-Treos. Sgt.-ot-Arms Dole Ohlson Bill Lewellen Morvene Christensen Mork Putnom FRESHMAN CLASS HISTORY September 10, 1945, marked the beginning of our high school career. During the first week we elected the following class officers: President, Dale Ohlson; vice-president, Bill Lewellen; secretary, Marvene Christensen; treasurer, Mark Putnam; sergeant-at-arms, Harvey Lewellen; and class representative, Jerry Mattson. At first our class advisor was Mr. Kirsch but when he resigned at the end of the first term from teaching, we chose Mrs. Floyd to take his place. Most well-remembered of our activities is initiation day, sponsoied by the sophomores. Freshmen girls set the style with long woolies and 10 pigtails each. Boys turned suddenly feminine and wore dresses, makeup, and some even carried dolls. My, but it was fun to shine the sophomore boys’ shoes and courtesy to the sophomore gals. In the annual tug-o’-wfar between the freshman and sophomore class, we were thoroughly soaked when sophomoies won and turned the hose on us. Our return party for the sophomores was held on February 20 and will long be remembered by our president, as through several misunderstandings we had no cleanup committee and Dale had to do all of the cleaning up. We worked hard to do our share in making the carnival a success and were well lewarded when our candidate for queen, Lila Mae Laird, was elected. We sponsored the House of Mystery and the Dew Drop Inn. For these concessions, we received 20 interclass points. Our first program given for the student body was held November 21. It was a three act play entitled “A Modem Thanksgiving” and our cast was composed of Geraldine Huntley, Kerwin Roe, Allen Halter, Jerry Mattson, Mildred Meyers, Maureen Evans, Leora Ames, Donna Krewson, Lila Mae Laird, and Don Evernden. We were plenty proud of having Tinker Hatfield, Arthur Bechtel, and Bill Lewellyn on the school’s “B” basketball squad. Tinker especially distinguished himself as an expert player. Our class was well represented on the semester honor roll with the following 11 freshmen on it: Amy Davenport, Maureen Evans, Edward Gilkinson, Marvene Christensen, Joyce Compton, Char-lee Daniels, Donna Krewson, Gloria La Flamme, Lila Mae I aird, Jerry Mattson, and Evelyn Oberman. At the valentine program put on by the Girl’s League, Lila Mae Laird, and Maureen Evans received hearts and Barbara Mantz and Dale Ohlson received the prize for the cutest couple. Alme-ada Woikman sang “I Can’t Begin To Tell You,” very nicely. Freshmen members of the advanced band were Mark Putnam, Donna Young, Dale Ohlson, Marvene Christensen, Harold Evernden, Barbara Mantz, Amy Davenport, Don Huntley, Allen Halter, Patty Bell, Doris Beyers, Myma Lee Winnigham and Robert Clinton. We are looking forward to our sophomore year with the hope that we can make ours an outstanding class.
