Class of 15 We the class of 1945 arrived in high school on the second of September in the year 1941. We acquired the usual name of “Greenhorn’s”, and went through the season of initiation, including the duckings given hy the sophomore class. After the initiation on September 12 we felt that we were real “Frcshies.” The results of our elections for our Freshman class showed Mr. Cecil Smith, now' Captain Smith in the amphibious division in the South Pacific, as our class advisor. The school presented a farewell program to Mr. Smith before lie left in February of 1942. He was replaced by Mr. Maurice Minton. We elected I.yle Key class president. Mary Lu Lake and Robert Shaw were elected Vice-President and Secretary-Treasurer, respectively. During the year Mary Lu Lake was the representative for home room one with Donald Higgins as Vice-President and Maxine Bunders, as Secretary-Treasurer. Jack Marvin was the representative on the council for home room two, and Robert Wachuta and Lelah Oestreich served as Vice-President and Secretary-Treasurer, respectively. The entire year was most adventurous, and our conflicts during the year proved to be great teachers. Ours was the pleasure of initiating the class of 1946. Mr. Minton was our class advisor, and Lyle Key served a second term as president. We elected Robert Wachuta Vice-President and Lelah Oestreich secretary. Donald Higgins was the President of home room one. Maxine Bunders was Vice-President and Robert Cejka the Secretary-Treasurer. Donna Jean Ray and Gladys Toberman were the Vice-President and the Secretary-Treasurer, respectively, with Jack Marvin as President of home room tw’O. The presidents of the home rooms were members of the student coupcil. This year several of our hoys w'ere in the sport’s highlights. Charles Welscli and Lyle Key made the “A” squad in basketball. Lyle Key, Charles Welsch and Robert Wachuta were members of the football squad in their Sophomore year. We began our Junior year with great excitement. This year we had the prom, a class play, and we became an important class in the school. Already our class is represented in the armed forces of our country. Raymond Tollef-son joined the navy when he was a Sophomore. Ray has seen action in the South Pacific and was wounded. The Juniors have shown in many ways that they can be and are real leaders. In March Junior home room two won a magazine sale contest sponsored by the school. The winners sold 312 G of their quota of magazines. As a reward the members of the home room enjoyed a theatre party. Letters were awarded to Fred Johnson, Dick Mattie, Lyle Key, Chuck Welsch, Bob Wachuta for football. For this year’s basketball season Lyle Key, Robert Wachuta and Chuck Welsch were awarded letters. In Forensics, Frederick Johnson entered as a Victory Speaker. Frederick went to Boscobel for the district Forensic contest and was given an “A” rating. “Almost Eighteen, our Junior class play, which was presented on Friday, April 14, was a success financially as well as dramatically. I he well chosen cast of “Almost Eighteen” presented a fine performance. The leading characters, Dick Mattie as Eddie, and Gladys Toberman as Ann Sherman, Eddie’s ideal, were both well played. William Barry, Eddie’s father, was portrayed by James Foss and Norma Harwood played the part of Grace, his mother. Mary Lu Lake, as Eddie’s sister Bernice, was a trouble maker for Eddie. Glee Snyder and Alta Sebastian were society women. Eddie’s friends, I oinmy Granville and Sally Davidson, were played by Frederick Johnson and Mary Lu Weighner. George Jones, Eddie’s uncle and Mabel Warren, his music teacher, were played by Lawrence David and Maxine Bunders, respectively. Eighteen
