We were green, yes, but not for long. There was nothing like timidity in our class, im- mediately we began participating in all the activ- ities around the school. Mr. john Gundlach was chosen as our class adviser. Realizing the need for competent leadership we held our first class election. Jerome Liess was made president, Richard Neller vice-president, Nan Gundlach secretary, and Melvin Frazee, U'CHSl11'9l'. Besides joining the various clubs, the boys went out en masse for football, basketball, tennis and track while girls cheered loyally for the teams throughout the year. The school was given a well-earned vacation as we left for the summer, then held its breath as we returned in the fall more energetic than ever. As sophomores we not only took over the B squads but also demonstrated our ability as intel- lectualsf' During this year we gained some of the neces- sary prestige to prepare us for the positions of leadership about school which the upper classmen Wefe HOW VaCatll'lg'. For our class officers we elected George Nickolas president, Pat Casperson vice-president, Beverly Westfahl secretary, and Betty Fahren- krug treasurer. One of the social high spots of this season was the Stardust Dance which we sponsored. Our junior year was a very active one. Many boys made the varsity teams this year. Now we were physically bigger and also more worldly wise. As upper classmen we found a new interest in life. We began to assume positions of leader- ship throughout the school. In the fall we spon- sored a Harvest Dance. The second semester was occupied with the planning, preparing, and presenting of the Junior Prom. Choosing a pan-American theme, the gym was gaily decorated for the event. The prom itself will always be remembered by all of us who helped to make it a success. After the election returns came in, we found Gerald Dedering was president, james Kellett vice-president, Pat Casperson secretary, and Gene Brooks treasurer. Time flew rapidly. In our last year we chose Robert Williams as our president, George Nickolas vice-president, Marjorie Gorr secretary, and Melvin Frazee treasurer. It was this year that our class formed the back- bone of the athletic groups. The boys and girls worked together throughout the year for the com- mon good of the school. Active throughout the entire year, we found ourselves winding up our four years of high school. For some of us it would be the last years of school, others hoped to continue their educa- tion. Glancing backward, we find that these years had been most profitable, developing us mentally, physically, and socially. Looking ahead, we see a still not too secure world into which we must enter. However, the class of 1948 is confident that with the invaluable training we have received, we shall find our place. 25
