 We’re in high school now, so just watch our smoke! So we thought when we were freshmen. We surprised everyone by winning the pep stunts. We’ll admit that we had a little help, but we carried the larger part of it through ourselves. The dances we sponsored also turned out well. Our officers -- Rodney Kellar, Donna Benson, Carol White, and our council representative, Margaret Lance -- provided the needed leadership for our class of seventy-nine members. Our sophomore year was more or less routine. We elected Bert Parcher, Jack Williams and Mary Ann Gordon as our officers, and sponsored hot dog sales, several dances, and a very profitable skating party. As juniors we started things rolling by electing Leslie Furer, Herb Ridderbusch, Betty Zimmerman and Eleanore Van Swoll as 5ur class officers. “The Sunshine Twins’’ was our play, and our carnival princess, Ann Larson, made a very gracious queen. Our prom, “Moonlight and Roses”, was a beautiful affair, with Eleanore Van Swoll as queen, and Bert Parcher as king. The princesses and princes were Mary Farwell, Ruby Balza, Margaret Lance, Leslie Furer, Cliff Boyd, Orrin Granlimd, Allan Kimble, and Bill Wilson. Besides all this we gave the first dance of the year with a theme - “Buttons and Bows” Well, now that we’re seniors we’ll admit that we didn’t exactly set the world on fire, but no one can say we didn’t try! Our play “The Fire Bug”, was a definite effort in that direction, but, although the play was very successful, it couldn’t be said that the world went up in flame. Our officers, Orrin Granlund, Gordan Ford, Zolene Carpenter, and Betty Hyde, carried out the duties of their respective offices with dignity and efficiency. Most of us feel that high school became more fun each year, and, while we are proud of being seniors, we should like to be graduating from the eighth grade again instead of from high school. BIRUTA STEINBERG From 1937 to 1944, Biruta attended elementary school in Latvia. During the World War n in 1944, Biruta, her father, mother, and grandmother were brought to a labor camp in Germany, and later were transported to a camp in Austria. In 1945, Biruta and her family were admitted into the American zone of Occupied Germany. While here she was able to attend high school. In 1948, after a short nurses training she became a nurse. While in duty it gave her an opportunity to work in Austria, Yugoslavia, and Italy. Miss Steinberg, with her family, came to the United States last August (1949).
