We were forever doing things that were laughable to the rest of the school. On October l2th, the day that most of us dreaded, we were initiated. It turned out to be much more fun than we had anticipated. That year we held a carnival and the Freshmen chose Mary Probst and Byron Grow to represent their class in the Grand March. Odd as it may seem, the Freshmen participated in many of the school's activities. On May 22, school closed. In the fall of 'A6, Sl proud Sophmores returned to school. We hadn't secured any new members, nor had we lost any. We anxiously awaited the day of initiation as it was our chance for revenge. During that year a trio was formed composed of Arlene Hengst, Pearl Schirmer, and Betty Blomberg. That year also, Elaine Schwoch was chosen as a cheerleader. We were very proud of these girls. On May 29, we ended another year of our education. September 3, l9L7, found 52 happy Juniors, entering to complete another year. We ordered our class rings early, and received them on February l3. On May l, we held our Prom. It turned out to be a success even though we had mud vacation the week before. Edith Jensen and Conrad Roder reigned as King and Queen. That year we had an excellent boys and girls basketball team. May 28th, we finished our third year. In the fall of 'b8, A3 of us returned to complete our high school education. On September 2l, we traveled to Medford to have our class pictures taken. They arrived just in time for Christmas. This year as in the paat, we took an active part in all the extra-curicular acti- vities. On March Sth, we presented our class play, 'New Fires,' directed by Mrs. Nolan and Miss McCarthy. On May 22, Baccalaureate Services will be held, and on May 26, we finished our high school career.
