SOPHOMORE ACTIVITIES The Sophomore C lass took a trip to C hicago one gloomy Saturday in October. They left North Webster at five o’clock (in the morning) and reached Chicago around nine thirty. The class first stopped at the Field Museum. There they saw many wonderful and interesting things. Venturing on, they visited the Museum of Science and Industry. There they ate lunch. After eating they listened to a lecture on Anatomy, (study of the parts of the body and its functions). After listening to the lecture it was again time to eat so the class separated into groups and ate dinner. For the evening program, half of the class went to see Roy Rogers in person, the other half went to a theater and saw “The Luck of the Irish”, a stage play. A weary, but happy class of Sophomores and chaperones, Mr. Blosser, and Mr. Smallwood, left Chicago around ten o'clock and arrived in Webster around one o’clock Sunday morning. CLASS PARTY After a contest of selling napkins ended, the boys were found to be victorious ones and the girls the losers. This meant that the girls had to play ’’hostess” to the boys at a party. The party got under way with the playing of games which everyone enjoyed. Delicious refreshments (which everyone had been waiting for) were then served, consisting of homemade cake and ice cream.” (Boys, you’d better keep your eyes on those girls, they are real cooks.’). A few more games were played then the party broke up and everyone, tired, but content, went home. BAKE SALE The class, once again feeling the urge to make some money (even though they had just cleared over $ 150 in their napkin sale). They decided to have a bake sale and hold it in Bodkin's Home Store in Webster. The bake sale went over just swell and the Sophomore treasury again increased in value. A few months later it was decided to have another bake sale. This sale went over big, too, swelling the bankroll of the class, still more. They are planning to use the money they made on their projects this year to help pay for that big Senior Trip which they are all waiting for. FRESHMAN ACTIVITIES The Freshman C lass was initiated into the high school on October 15, 1948. During the initiation, they had many nerve racking experiences, such as. hiving to eat “fishworms,” “clotted blood”, “rotten eggs”, and made to feel a “dead man . They were subjected to many horrors during the course of the evening. Immediately following the initiation, delicious refreshments were served by the Senior girls. On November 19, the Freshman Class presented a variety show. The talented Roger Mock and his orchestra, “The Racheteers”, played some musical (??) pieces. Lynn Overmyer presented a delightful skit. We were honored to have a speech by Mrs. Roosevelt played by Coleen B artman. EIGHTH GRADE ACTIVITIES On October 19, the members of the Eighth Grade Class and their sponsor. Mr. Smallwood, went to the Flowing Well after school for their first party. We had a wiener roast, after which we played various games. A business meeting was held then the party broke up. The Eighth Grade presented their variety show on December 17. Judy Hunter gave us a flute solo, Coleen Hossler played the guitar, and Carole Martin and Donna Sue Ferveda sang a duet. A school room scene was presented. The teacher was played by Donna Gilhooley; Superintendent, Jerry Rhodes; and the dunce by Johnny Pearson. SEVENTH GRADE ACTIVITIES The Seventh Grade had their first party of the school year on Wednesday, November 23. They played several interesting and exciting games. New Orleans. Swat and Snatch, Tag, and others. Delicious refreshments consisting of hot dogs, potato chips, and pop were served. Our class was sponsored by Mrs. Poor this year. 18
