Thirty-three freshmen entered the great portals of learning of the Odessa High School on September 4, 1947, Initiation was held by the honorable seniors of '48, A dance followed that evening in honor of the freshmen, The first freshman dance was held on November 7, in the high school gym. Max and his three jives were introduced. There was a grand turnout and everyone had fun, The thirty-three freshmen to start out in high school were, Marvin Iltz, Harley Frank, Franklin Kath, Don Sieverkropp, Wayne Sieverkropp, Lamar Homberg, Walter Meske, Bill Emery, Wayne King, Virgil Krell, Walter Greenwalt, Don Wolf, Mary Ann Totusek, Sylvia Bartalamay, Lila Kuest, B, G. Williams, Rita Uhrich, Marciel Fink, Mary Ann Schmidt, Marilyn Salo, Jackie Grening, Melvin Carl- son, Leslie Stehr, Marjorie Gust, Art Odell, Doris Wacker, Sue Phillips, Maurice Fink, Richard Voise, Coleen Luiten, Jack Gasser.

The sophomore class officers for the first semester were as follows, President, Mau- rice Fink, Vice President, Marilyn Salo, Secretary, Sue Phillips, Treasurer, Rita Uhrich, Representative, Clarence Giese. For our class project we bought two sets of indoor lights for the Christmas tree and three sets of lights for the outdoor tree. We also con- tributed ten dollars for stage scenery. We gave the annual Christmas Dance this year. At one end of the library was a life-size reindeer and sleigh, it was illuminated by spot- lights, Everyone had brought a small gift to the dance and just before intermission the crowd was handed out gifts by Santa Claus. Officers for the second semester were as follows: President, Wayne King, Vice President, Maurice Fink, Secretary, Phyllis Huff, Treasurer, Mary Ann Schmidt, and repre- sentative, Franklin Kath. We had several successful ice-skating parties and a coasting party. We gave a dance the last part of the second semester and the gym was cleverly decorated. A good time was had by everyone. At the end of our sophomore year every- one of us was looking forward to becoming juniors. We came back to school August 30, 1949, to start our very interesting junior year. There were thirty-one of us. During this year we lost Kenny Allum, Mary Ann Totusek, Eva Lelone, Clarence Giese, Lila Kuest, and Walter Greenwalt. We began our junior year by winning first prize with our float. Next we chose our officers for the first se- mester. They were as follows: President, Marilyn Sala, Vice President, Franklin Koth, Secretary, Phyllis Huff, Treasurer, Doris Wacker, and Representative, Leslie Stehr. We started raising money for our Prom by selling hot dogs, coffee, pop, and peanuts at the football games, Our next activity was our junior class play given November 18. This TIGER TALES L- l95I SENIOR CLASS HISTORY TContinuecIj was a three act mystery comedy. The name of it was The Foolproof Murder , written by Walter Blake. As soon as basketball season started we started selling again. This time we sold hot dogs, pop, candy, and peanuts, Our second semester officers were as fol- lows: President, Marilyn Salo, Vice President, Don Wolf, Secretary, B. G. Williams, Treas- urer, Doris Wacker, and Representative, Coleen Luiten. Our final activity was our junior-senior banquet which was given May 5. Our theme was Aloha and the music was furnished by the Stardusters of Cheney. The gym was beautifully decorated with Hawaiian scenes. There was a good turnout and everyone had a good time, The food was prepared by our mothers and served by the sophomore girls. The welcome speech was made by the iunior class president, Marilyn Salo. A re- turn speech was given by senior president Merle Janke. The flag salute was led by Gene Kuest and the flag was held by Neal Phillips. Dinner music was furnished by Lorene Starkel, Entertainment was furnished by Lee Schorzman and Yvonne -Hopp. We all enioyed a wonderful junior year. On September ll, I95O, twenty-four Seniors came back to these great portals of learning for the last time, We were happy to welcome Susan Harper to our class a few weeks after school started, but we were sad to find out that the following were no longer with us: Don Wolf, Harley Frank, Art Odell, and Virgil Krell. Our first activity of the year was initiation. This was held on October 6. Our initiation dance was not held until Oc- tober 26. This was the first dance of the year and many of the students attended. We electea our officers for the first semester and they were: President, Marilyn Solo, Vice President, Franklin Koth, Secretary, Margie Gust, Treasurer, Doris Wacker, and Representative, Richard Voise.

Second semester officers were: President, Marilyn Salo, Vice President, Frankie Koth, Secretary, Margie Gust, Treasurer, Doris Wacker, and Representative, Wayne King. On March 23, the seniors gave their last dance. This was a sport dance. For our sneak we decided to go to ,,,,LL..,.L,.....,...........,,,,L. and to leave on . ,.,......... .. ...................,. Next thing of interest for us was the Prom. This was held on May 4, and the gym was beautifully decorated by the juniors, The following students have been together for twelve years: Sue Phillips, Marilyn Salo, Jackie Grening, Rita Uhrich, Mary Ann Schmidt, Doris Wacker, Marciel and Maurice Fink, Wayne King, Leslie Stehr, Frankie Kath, Lamar Homberg, Marvin Iltz, Sylvia Bar- talamay, and B.

DEBATE The national high school debate topic for this year was Resolved: That the federal government should adopt a substantial expansion of the welfare state. There were six members on the debate team-Ronald Schafer, Marilyn Salo, Eddie Huff, Sue Phillips, Douglas Ottestad, and Phyllis Huff, This was the first year any of them ever had any kind of speech work, and so their coach, Mr. Theisen, really started from nothing, Mr. Theisen and the team attended the Northwest Forensic Tournament at Gon- zaga University. Of the seventy schools represented Odessa placed in the top ten, and also gained a lot of valuable experience. The team came out with a fifty-five per-cent standing in their league, and attended a tournament at Whitworth College to decide who would go to state from this league. Gonzaga, Marycliff, North Central, West Valley, Odessa, and Davenport all placed in the top six and represented the district at state. North Central, West Valley, and Gonzaga took the top three places at state, Odessa placing in the top fifteen. Out of sixty speakers represented in the division, Ronald Schafer was voted 15th best speaker and Eddie Huff 20th best. Ronald, Doug, Eddie and Mr. Theisen are all looking forward to an even better season next year, and we would like to take this opportunity to wish them the best of luck.

FOOTBALL The Odessa Football Team had an improved season under their new coach, Mr. Gillis, The team got off to a bad start, losing to Wilbur l4-6 in the first game of the season, but recovered quickly and beat Lind 6-O the next game. The Odessa Team was hampered by minor injuries, losing key men when they were needed most, but they made up for this in fight and scrap. 'They tied Ritzville, 21-Qi, as they scored a touchdown and an extra point in the last minute of play. l95l TIGER TALES Mr. Gillis, Coach At the end of the season the Bi-County sports writers selected an All-Star Team.
