We selected the following as our class officers: David Sokolowski- prefiident: Carl Kulasa-vice-president; Marilyn Knickelbein-secretary-treasurer. Mr. Furnas was our class sponsor. We I031 the following members during the year: Edgar Ireland, George Harber, Frank Bogenski, Viril Horner, Doris Schrieber, Hazel Lewis, and Elizabeth H uge. Two of our classmates participated in band, and several were active in Glee Club, Three entered the Oratorical Contest. One of them, Marian Hartz, v;on the county contest in the humorous division. On September 6, 1943, thirty members entered their sophomore year. It made us unhappy to find that Dick Aim and Marion Miller had dropped behind us. Marilyn Dawson, who went to South Bend, was our only Iqss. Our additions included Louis Long from Muskegon, Mich., Kay Banis from Chicago, Bill Gordon from Michigan City, and Edith Gourlcy from La Porte. Despite the girls’ efforts to prevent it, our class officers were: Bob Mrozinski-president, Bob Le Roy-vice-president, and Carl Kulasa-secretary-treasurer. We finished an interesting year with Mr. Wells as our class sponsor. We again had thirty members on September 5,1945. We v ere surprised and happy to find that Dick Aim was again a member of our class. le had lost Jerry McCarty, Bill Barnes, and David Sokolov ski, David is now a member of the ' Merchant Marines. Our new Members were Paul heir Iron St. Louis, Mo, , Hilda Dealer Prom Kingsbury, Indfi Clyde Bowen from Pontiac, Michigan, and Lcis Paulstich from Plymouth, Indiana. Lucille Johnson from Bay City, ;Ixchigun,was with us for a short time. Our class officers were; Marilyn Knickelbein, president, Dick Aim, vice-president, Gertrude Ellen-v inc, secretary, and Marian Harts, treasurer. V o held a roller-skating party at the La Porte Roller Rink in October. Ue presented our class play, Spring Fever on March 22, under the direction of Miss II.Eunice Meeks, The outstanding event of the year was the Junior senior Reception, which was held in the gymnasium. Both classes seemed to have an exceptionally cr00d time , Having completed three-fourths of our career-; we are looking forward to the final ( and wo hope-mo3t successful ) year, Mr. Isom was our co-ooerative (?) class soonsor. ‘ t . • r 4 p SOPHOMORES On September 6, 1943, fourty-four students with mischievous glints, assembled to begin their high school career. The officers eloctod for the year wero: John Katsianis, president; Dolores Jannscn, vice pres-dent; and Botty Wolland, secretary and treasurer. During the school torm wo had tho misfortune of losing Duane Dillon, Marion Miller, Ted Ireland, and Imogono McKeohan, although Patrica Tarnow, Eleanor McCormick, Walter Kogobein and Roger Slack came to replace them. Throe members of our class wero in the band whilo approximately twonty-fivo were engagod in Gloo Club ac tivitios. Wo Froshies” underwent the torture of Initiation but really it was a lot of fun and they gavo us freo ico cream to smooth things over a little.

Four members aro active in the band and orchestra and eleven decided to givo their vocal cords a little adjusting, so they joined Glee Club. On March 9, wo had a class party. Dancing and games wore enjoyed. Wo all hopo to make the grado as Juniors. FR3SHHEN HI STORY On September 5, 1944, 45 pupils were admitted into R. P. H. S. ss Froshies. They were dividod into two groups, twenty one in one section and twenty four in the other, because teachers figured that 45 pupils at one time would givo thorn too violent o hcadacho. Twenty-six now pupils joined our class this year from neighboring schools and we heartily welcomed them. The vital process of election of officers was taken care of thus: our capable president is Arthur lenig, comparing notes with Ssc-Tros. June Zook. Tho Vico President is Billy Wolls. Bernita Gordon and Doris Tower are tho class gossipers, commonly celled reporters. On Thursdays tho regular tune was, Wo haven’t our work today, for some of tho ton girls and boys who took band and blow hot sir furiously into odd shaped pieces of motel while looking at ink spots.

J. Caldwell, Beth's mother, Janet Cook; O'Brien, a police officer, Don Wolland. This was a fast moving mystery centering around a decaying old farmhouse where the ghost of the farmer's daughter is supposed to appear once every month at midnight. There were the hair raising moments when Beth and Marlene were kidnapped, when a satchel of money was thrown into the hands of Robert Morley and when he and Jerry King photographed the ghost at the stroke of twelve. How— ever, in spite of the moments of suspense and chills running up and down your spine, all turns out well. Tin: JUNIOR PLAY The Rolling Prairie Junior Class presented the play SPRING FEVER on Friday, March 23 in the Rolling Prairie High School. The main characters were as follows: Howard Brsnt, Robert Mrozinski; Ed Burns, Bill ■ Gorden ; Vic Lewis, Ftobert Leroy; Low Herron, Lois Faulstich; Mrs. Spangler, Florence Smith; Anne Purcell, Kay Banis ; Vivian George, Marilyn Knickelbein; Henry Purcell, Paul Weir; Phoebe Purcell, Marcia Dalenberg; Maude Corey, Wilma hotter; Professor Virgil Bean, Glenn Buell; Dr. Dixon, Dick Mrozinski. Mrs. Spangler keeps a rooming-house at Brookfield College, and she finds things going in a whirl on the day before Commencement; in addition to her regular college-boy roomers, t heir girls keep popping in and out. Ed Burns has turned his room into a laboratory; Vic Lewis sets up his dais and easel in the living-room; Howard Brant types frantically at a term paper on zoology. Low Herron, breezes in every now and then to the typewriter and--maybe--to see Ed. Anno Purcell, has forgotten to reserve rooms for her millionaire father and her mother. She persuades Howard to put her father up in hi3 room. When Mr. Purcell arrives, Vic thinks he is the art model he engaged. The a-gcncy had phoned that the model did not want to pose as a Bolshevik; so Vic and Ed grab Mr. Purcell and what happens after could only happen in a college-boarding house. The mistake is discovered, but Mr. Purcell dcpai'ts and withdraws his offer to present a new science building to the college. Howard's Aunt Maude arrives unexpectedly, bho learns of Howards failure to pass his zoology course and poses as a famous zoologist, to get on the good side of Prof. Bean. Anne and her chum put on a deathbed scene to get her father to sign a paper promising the science building. Things are pretty hectic for a while but everything unds entirely to everybody's satisfaction. Od Pit !

V LAPIIRTE CIIUNTY BANU v BASKETBALL The Bulldogs started the basketball season with two defeats. Then things took a turn for the better when we won the next four games. However, our good luck couldn't last forever and we were beaten in the next three games. Next was the County Tourney and La Crosse v on over us. Maybe that was because Tim Hunt, one of our star players, was in Indianapolis for his Navy exam. We were victors in the next two games but then Hanna, the County Champs, beat us. We defeated Springfield, then ventured over to play our keenest rivals. New Carlisle, and boat them, even after making a basket for their side.
