THE JUNIOR CLASS Upper-classmen . . . exerting an influence in school affairs . . . wise to the tricks of students . . . not at the top, but climbing! The Juniors started the dramatic ball rolling early in the year with, what everyone agreed, was a highly successful mystery play— The Phantom Bells. “Who turned out those lights? The big problem of the Junior class, as with every Junior class, was finances. Proms and banquets are expensive, you know. Hence, most of the activities of the class were directed toward raising money. The second project of the year was sponsoring the Christmas dance which rewarded the class handsomely. Of course it wasn’t all business . . .there were weiner roasts, swim- ming parties and skiing trips ... in fact this has been a very active year. In April the Junior class presented three one-act plays under the direction of Mrs. Spence. THE SOPHOMORE CLASS Second termers . . . getting into the full swing of school life . . lord- ing it over the Frosh (for one week at least) . . . beginning to feel their oats . . . still underclassmen but mighty. They began the year right with a lusty hazing of the poor Fresh- men . . . “Start ’em right” is the motto! Their candidate reigned over the Cider Jug Jamboree as Queen LaVerna I. Their athletes supplied much of the power and spark that gave our teams so great a measure of success. Hard workers, good students, enthusiastic boosters ... the largest class in school, with energy to burn! Leading this group has been LaVerna Colpitts, president; Don Hunt, vice president; LaRose Bowman, secretary; Eddie Taylor, treasurer. Mrs. Spence was Sophomore Class Sponsor. -m- THE FRESHMEN CLASS Frosh . . . green ... a bit uncertain . . newcomers to the high school group. The Sophs initiated them thoroughly . . goofy costumes . . Lil Abner” McAlister . . . crazy stunts--“carry these books, Freshman!” Fortunately, initiation lasts only a week. Administrators----Don Dodson, prexy; Jack Wilson, vice president; Lorraine Tally, secretary-treasurer; Mrs. Leonnig, sponsor. A full term well served . . . leadership developing. Although young they have added greatly to our school. In sports, they have made a fine name for themselves with representatives winning varsity letters in all major sports. In fact they have made themselves felt in all phases of our school life. Activities . . many and varied. Parties . . . swimming at Fisher Springs . . picnics . . selling hamburgers at the tournament . . . booths at the carnival ... a formal dinner and dance with the Sophomores . .. a peppy bunch of Freshmen. Yes, they 11 make good Badgers.
