FRESHMAN CLASS HISTORY' Nearly half of the high school’s total enrollment on September 4, 1945, consisted of our exceptionally large freshman class of forty-six students. Under the capable leadership of our class sponsors, Miss Brookhart and Miss Barber, our class elected its officers: President, Margaret Lindsay; Vice-President, Dorothy Richards; Secretary, Shirley Link, and Treasurer, Deloris Tilstra. With Dannehl, Bottorff, Archer, and Dale Brantley doing their part on the varsity football team, Dannehl and Bottorff on the basketball team, our class was well represented in sports. As freshmen we also took part in the musical activities of our school. Most of the boys and girls were in the boys’ and girls’ choruses. Some of us were selected by Mrs. Cox to participate in the Contest Chorus. In Mixed Chorus our representatives were Gene Hall, Marvin Fink, and Don Archer. Don Archer was in the boys’ quartet and the mixed octet. By our combined efforts, we accomplished the feat of having ten freshman in the band. Not to be partial to any one extra-curricular activity, we also took part in three freshman-sophomore plays. In the first play, “Who Gets the Car Tonight”, Shirley Link, Dale Brantley, and Don Archer were in the cast. Our second play was one exclusively for girls. The play was “The Last Christmas,” and our representatives were Maxine Tilstra, Vivian Lee, Wilna Sheppelman, Deloris Sumrall, and Rose Marie Talbert. We thought we should have three so the third one would be fair anyway; so we gave the play “I’m a Fool”. This time in the cast we had Margaret Lindsay, Ann Burnett, Pattv Althaus, Vivian Lee, Dick Dannehl, and Don Archer. Our first year of high school is now officially ended, and we can truthfully say (if no seniors are looking) that it wasn’t too-oo-oo bad!

David “Sieb” Siebert, they used to call him “Dope”. Wendell “Windie” Orr, our big chief, (president, you dope); Roy “Sonny” Ficklin, his mother calls him moonshine; Boyd “Noisy” Harrs, bored (board) with life; Kenny “Tennessee Jed” Legan, got him—dead center; Bob “huba huba” Lee, oh that sister of mine!; Buddy “Ears” McFadden: Glen “Lard” DuVall, the thin man; Kenny “Oh that Latin” Palmer; Charles “Cecil Krause”, guess my weight; Gene “88 keyes” Sheppleman; and Bill “Pat” Patterson, always talking.

They all did their part in G.A.A., F.H.A., Library, Thespians, and chorus to make our class especially active. Last but not least were our able sponsors, Mr. Wayne “Coach” Aiken and Mrs. Norma “Ricky tick” Cox, who got enough the first semester! McFadden, Siebert, and Myers resided on the hardwood first team. Cheering them on was Mary Cox, cheerleader. Our class was very active contributing members to all organizations. Signed, sealed and delivered by: President, Wendell Orr. Vice-President, Beverly Colebank. Secretary, Norma Jimison. Treasurer, Margaret Kanosky.
