S W' On August 31, 1951, we entered the Sophomore Class. This was a big thrill for most of us as it was our first year of Senior High. We started out as usual with new books, new classes, and one new teacher. He was Mr. Lecture Wassel. In the beginning he kept telling us to speak up, say something, don't be afraid to talk. Well, we did and he has been trying ever since to shut us up. Mr. We can't forget our old steadies, who were: Gas Well Rathmell, Mrs. Sid Downing, Mr. Smiley Weicksel, Mr. I want a new car Nuss, Mr. Flip Mills, and, of course, Mr. Florey, Mrs. Boyle, Mrs. Graf, Mr. Bruno, and Mr. Thompson. On November 12, we organized our class. Mr. Mills was our class advisor. The following officers were elected: jack Rabine, President, Robert L. Long, Vice Presidentg Inez Marshall, Recording Secretary, Rose Ann Dayton, Financial Secretary, and Janice Hartsock, Treasurer. Our class colors were yellow and white. We then started making plans for the Sopho- more Hop which was to be held on March 28. Everyone was trying his best to get on the decorat- ing committee. Of course it meant missing classes, but no one seemed to mind. Our next great event was the class picnic which was held at Kettle Creek. It was held on May 23. Our chaperones were Mr. Florey and Mrs. Boyle. We rode to the park in a bus, and of course, we needed a truck to carry the food. That was one thing everyone remembered. The girls all went swim'- ming, but not of their own accord. It was really a great event. Now I must tell you of the many, many romances of our class. There were Jo Alice Horch and Harry Finnefrock, Grace Summerson and Bob Monoski, Inez Marshall and Bob Hillyer, Dorothy Summerson and jack Kepler, Nancy Farwell and Cliff Rhoades, Rose Ann Dayton and Clarence Cowfer, Sylvia Pflug- felder and Kenny Pfaff, Jack Smith and Althea Farwell, Margaret Saltsman and jimmy Cashner, and of course those who couldn't make up their mind. At the beginning of the term we acquired sev- eral new students. They were Pat Hovis, Esther Bressette, Myron Tisdel, Bertha Snyder, and Faith Swartwood. We also lost several students that year. They were Charles Abel, Neil Cashner, Bruce Schenck, jack Pelkey, Ann Rooney, Merle Prebble, Rodger Tenney, Walter Toot, and Bertha Snyder. Well, our Sophomore year is drawing to a close. We are all looking forward to sitting in Study Hall with the Seniors next year. NANCY McGREGOR and INEZ MARSHALL R gn -V' ig s. 4 f Y n. iQ 5 , A I R 4. . X 4 l .,.,..i Qs. I ':. ,,, X ' -P ' S Q 5 .

0 gsm Our class started its Junior career on the first day of school in '52. We felt proud sitting in 28 with the Seniors, but there were a few who were in Room 34. Our teachers this year were Mr. This is the News Wassel, Mrs. Girls Graf, Mr. Thomp- son, Mr. Beanie Hauge, Mrs. Boys Olsen, Mr. Bruno, Mr. Weicksel, Mrs. Shut Up Downing, Mrs. Boyle and Mr. Coach Florey. We organized on September 9, 1952, and chose the following officers: james Krebs, President, Rob- ert L. Long, Vice President, Rose Ann Dayton, Secretary, and Gayle Wilson, Treasurer. Our advisors were Mrs. Downing and Mr. Rathmell. This year our class colors were blue and white, our flower, the Talisman Rose, and our motto, We owe the world the best in us. We started right in by making plans for our Junior Prom, which was held on Nov. 26. The gym was decorated in blue and white, and, as our class is very original, we had a corner piece, rather than a center piece. This was the first year that this was tried and it worked very successfully. We spon- sored a Hospital Benefit Dance on Nov. 28 which was a big success. About this time a big event came, our class rings had arrived. Everyone was very proud of his ring. Of course, some of them didn't keep them long but gave them to their better half. The year passed quickly, and before we realized it, it was time for our junior Class play. The name of the play was, Father was a Housewife, and the success was largely attributed to the untiring efforts of our advisors and Mrs. jeselnik, our director. Of course the cast played a small part in this success. In case you forgot, the cast was as follows: jack Smith, Grace Summerson, Bob Long, Sylvia Pflug- felder, Verla Marshall, Nellie Lupro, Nancy Mc- Gregor, Nancy Farwell, Carol Ransdorf, Janice Hartsock, jack Witchey, Tom Kepler, jack Rabine, Skeeter Cowfer, and Faith Swartwood. Beezer Schenck was assistant director, Gayle Wilson, prompter. Spring finally came and this meant the junior picnic day had arrived. We went to Kettle Creek Park in cars. Our chaperones were Mr. Rathmell and Mrs. Downing, who added greatly to the fun we had. In spite of the bad weather we were en- tertained by Mrs. Rathmell playing her accordion. Washing cars, swimming, mud and water battles, eating and just plain goofing off, made up our junior picnic. We all came home wet, tired and cold. But in spite of it all, the picnic ended in harmony. Two of our girls made the Cheerleading squad. They were: Grace Summerson and Sylvia Pflug- felder. We had several boys on the football squad. They were: Archie Gregory, Sonny Stahley, Skeeter Cowfer, jack Rabine, jack Smith, joe Bratton, jerry Tomko, Harry Finnefrock, Darrell Moore, and Paul Guizar. Our basketball players were: Tom Kepler, jim Kerbs, jack Witchey, jack Smith, Dave Ericson, Sonny Stahley, Robert L. Long, and jack Rabine. We were very proud to have our class represented in so many various activities. And, of course, there were quite a few romances this year. Some of the old steadies are: Peggy Salts- man and Jim Cashner, Joanne Bailey and Charles Wilbertg Nellie Lupro and Lemayne Shank, Grace Summerson and Bob Monoskig Buck Mattas and Ann jane Widmanng Inez Marshall and Bob Hill- yer, Sibby Pflugfelder and Kenny Pfaffg Dorothy Summerson and jack Kepler, jack Smith and Fifi Farwell, jack Witchey and Kathy Butcher. We had some new romances that bloomed this year. They were: Ella Riggle and Bob Wilson, Rose Ann Dayton and Roy Aberg R. L. Long and Ann Gullborgg Nancy McGregor and Gordie Huff g Son- ny Stahley and Sonya Brown, Janis Bitner and Tucker johnson, Archie Gregory and Vi Picker- ing, Doris Gyurina and Jerry Tomko. And jo and Finney kept us wondering. Beezer couldn't make up his mind about Joanie Hagen either. We lost some of our classmates this year. They were: Bressette, Schmoke, Steinman, and Barker. Well, as all good things must end, so did our junior Year. We all looked forward to being Seniors and the wheels of the school.
