The Freshmen Upon entering the high school last fall, the class of 45 proved to be as green as all the preceding classes. As many classes have done, they changed from “scared freshies to studious underclassmen. The students chosen by their class mates to lead them to success were: president, Lyle Key; vice-president, Mary Lu Lake; and secretary-treasurer, Bob Shaw. The class chose Mr. Smith to be its advisor, and upon his leave to the service of the United States, Mrs. Linzen-meyer was chosen his successor. As is the custom, the class was divided into two homerooms. The officers are as follow-s: Home Room I president, Mary Lu Lake; vice-president, Donald Higgins; secretary-treasurer, Maxine Bunders. Home Room II president. Jack Marvin; vice-president. Bob Wachuta; secretary-treasurer, Lelali Oestreich. In the Student Council the class president and two home room presidents represented the freshman class. Shortly after their entrance to the routine of high school the freshmen were greeted by the sophomores with the Freshman Mixer. This was a gala affair and interest was created by all of the stmlopt body. , ManvyW tly l toys oj y olass took an active pi $r-in foe various seasonal sports. The most outstanding were, undoubtedly, Lyle Key and Charles Welscli of the undefeated “B” squad. This freshman class has a splendid start.
