'UIDIH' M1'UllQlIfS...... T THE BEGINNING of the year, our home- room started off like a rocket by having a picnic out at the City Park. Mr. Durham, our homeroom teacher, then suggested that we try to square dance. He later carried out this program. Then later on in the year, near Homecoming, we got the idea of our float, which won us first place. The slogan was Smooth Cruz'n . The float was designed like a cabin cruiser representing smooth cruising for the Tigers. On the day that we got out for our Christmas vacation, we had a swell party with all kinds of cookies, fudge, and goodies. The officers of our homeroom were jim Swartout, president, and Bob Purkey, treasurer. HOME ROOM 115-First Row: li. Rainey, K. Rini. B. YL-psen. D. Rici. R. Purkey.

XVe discovered it to be in the cafeteria, which contained two homerooms, Mr. Ott's and Mr. Goble's. After we got used to our new environment, we developed a few pastimes such as playing with our padlocks, talking about last summers big events, and what classes we were in. A few days later we elected officers. We elect- ed joellen Russell, presidentg .Icfhn Sitterly, vice president, and David ffleke or Peotj Roth, sec- retary-treasurer. At the beginning of the year, our lfreshman class had a hayride at -lim Peterson's. We had loads of hot dogs and hot chocolate, XX'e had one big problem this year. This was trying to decide what kind of a float to have. After several discussions, we finally hit upon an idea. XX'e worked at .loellen Russell's house. XY'e did pretty well on the float, considering the trouble we went through getting the chicken wire. Vile didnt get a prize, but we tried. Wfe had a swell time this year in Mr. Ott's class. and we all hope our next three years will lie as much fun. llage Nintl L

...... SUIDIH' MUUIIQIEY HE STUDENTS from Homeroom 305 made quite a name for themselves by singing Row, Row, Row Your Boat and jimmy Crack Cornu during homeroom periods. Naturally the vocaliz- ing was seldom done in the presence of a teacher. The happy songsters elected Nancy Newbury to be homeroom president. When she was not around, Bob Meeske took over as vice president. Bill Lane and Milton Neiman were secretary and treasurer. When homecoming came around, there was a terrible mistake made. Room 305 didnt win the prize for the best float, but all of us were beam- ing when Nancy Newbury was crowned sopho- more attendant. Altogether, few other homerooms could have been so orderly when there was a teacher around, yet sing so loudly when Mr. Gartner left the room. Mark my words, those kids had vocal talent.
