The officers elected for the Class were: Larry McBee, President; David Hammett, Vice president; Marilyn Williamson, Secretary; Betty Simmons, Treasurer. The year was climaxed by the Junior-Senior Banquet and Ball which was held at the Grants Pass Country Club on May 6. The days of '49 was the theme carried throughout the entire banquet. Miniature covered wagons were Qf e°ch place along with memory booklets containing a menu of western vittles and a program studded with colorful wild west names for the participants. Songs included on the program were Wagon Wheels , Gold Mine In The Sky , Betsy From Pike and Tumbling Tumbleweeds . The long-awaited affair was greatly enjoyed by the Juniors and their guests, the Seniors and Faculty.

FRESHMAN INITIATION f r The Freshmen as in years gone by submitted to the tortures of initiation. The poor victims were gayly colored with lipstick and shoe polish and with the bunches of onions that were tied around their necks, they really looked fit to kill (the Sophomores that is). The town folk of Rogue River consented to a march through town and through the stores. As the Freshmen marched, they were given tissue to sell. The proceeds of this went into the Sophomore treasury. That night, their gay colors drooping, the Freshmen returned for Kangaroo Court . With the various stunts completed, they were allowed to change clothes and enter the dance thrown in their honor by the Sophomores. Later on in the term the Freshmen returned the honor with a dance for the Sophomores. The Sophomores, happy that their time had come, began planning what was to be done with the new Freshmen, weeks ahead of time. It seemed that the Freshmen knew of the lurking danger by the looks on their faces. The initiation turned out as planned and a football game added stunts for the Freshmen to do. They were paraded around at half time by the Sophomores and had to give a cheer. The Sophomores gave a couple of dances during the year, one of which was the Pre-Easter, semi-formal Dance. The gym was decorated with rabbits and pastel streamers, and the party was adjudged the best yet.
