 zniox C.[ai± CJEPTEMBER 10. 1945. marked the beginning of our high school career. Most well-remembered of our activities was initiation day. sponsored by the Sophomores. Freshman 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-war between the Freshmen and Sophomore classes, we were thoroughly soaked when the Sophomores won and turned the hose on us. Our return party for the Sophomores was held on February 20. Class officers that year were: President: Dale Ohlsen: Vice Pres., Bill Lewellen: Secy.-Treas., Marvene Christensen: Sgt.-at-arms, Mark Putnam: Class Rep., Jerry Mattson. We worked hard to do our share in making the carnival a success and were well rewarded when our candidate for queen, Lila Mae Laird, was elected. We sponsored the House of Mystery and the Dew Drop Inn. In our Freshman year we were honored in being able to have a play for the Student Body entitled A Modern Thanksgiving.'' As Sophomores we overcame the difficulties which we had while Freshmen and entered into the activities of the school more strongly. Our class officers for that year were as follows: Pres., Carl Morris: Vice Pres., Alan Halter; Sec.-Treas. Dale Ohlsen; Sgt.-at-arms, Tinker Hatfield: and Class Rep. Leora Ames. One of the outstanding events of the year was our candidate, Almeda Workman, being elected as queen of the carnival. We also had a large number of Sophomores taking part in the band and boys' and girls' glee clubs. Last but not least, we were proud to have Tinker Hatfield playing on the A squad in basketball and Arthur Bechtel, who played on both A and B squads. One of the outstanding highlights of our Junior year was the banquet and prom. We served a delicious dinner of ham and mashed potatoes at the Presbyterian Church. Our prom was very successful with Fairy Land being our theme. We also had much fun at our money raising schemes, such as preparing pop corn balls and having various rumage sales. Class officers this year were: Pres.. Edward Gilkison; Vice Pres.. Joe Everenden: Sec.-Treas.. Betty Brooks: Sgt-at-arms. Jack Ford: Class Rep.. Carl Morris. In our Junior assembly we displayed real talent and much entertainment. This leads us up to the year when we are Mighty Seniors which has been a very exciting year. We elected class officers, which are as follows: Pres., Jim Churchill: Vice Pres.. Alan Halter: Sec., Leora Ames: Treasurer, Donna Krewson; Sgt-at-arms. Clarence Miller: Class Rep., Skip Ohlsen. Ed Gilkison was elected as Student Body President. Having the first of the annual school dances, which the profits were saved for Skip Day we got off to a good start. Before we knew it, we were preparing for the Senior Play, which was a big success. Our Senior Assembly was based upon a Vaudeville Show. This also showed talent, including Can Can dances. Burlesque Queens, etc. Getting back to activities, we sold Pen and Pencil Sets, which netted more profits toward our Skip Day and Class Memorial. On February 25. Dr. Gutman, Coos County Health Doctor, spoke to the Social Ec. Class. The remainder of the year we prepared for Skip Day, Graduation. May 25, Baccalaureate. May 22, and hoped for a successful Banquet and Prom.
