Junior Class History The juniors were a small, but mighty class this year having the good fortune, because of their number, to be all in one room—which made it nice and cozy. The year started off with a bang with the presentation of their play, “An American Is Born,” which definitely opened the eyes of a lot of people to the fact that a foreigner can be a loyal American no matter what his nationality is. Hats off to the juniors for an excellent performance. The juniors proudly placed three members of their class, Barbara Kaiser, Shirley Blood, and Edward Moisio on the National Honor Society. That, underclassmen, is the reward for hard work. Six members of their small class—Georgiana Kako, Nevia Jean Congdon. Barbara Kaiser, Flora Hall, Bernadine Yusko and Bill Philley are the proud possessors of A Capella pins. As for the members of the Pilot Light staff—Ruth Akerley, Bernadine Yusko, Georgiana Kako, Helen Fisch, Audrey Kirkwood, and Frances Main toook care of that and nothing escaped their watchful eyes. Robbie Puffer was their only contribution to the basketball squad, but what a contribution! He certainly did a good job and backed the juniors heartily; however he's got a bigger job awaiting him next year. Besides the class officers: president, Barbara Kaiser; vice-president, Gene Spiel-denner; secretary, Shirley Blood; and treasurer, Gertrude Shumake; they were represented by Georgiana Kako on the Student Council. Sophomore Class History The sophomores settled down to a quiet school term this year (pardon me, but did I say quiet?). Well anyway they seem to have done a good job in keeping the study hall under control and have participated in many school activities. Delores Davis, Bernice Hershey and Katherine Cole put their news in the Pilot each time to let the rest of the high school know that they weren’t slackers by any means. Five members of the class were on the varsity. Richard Wheeler was their pride and joy as he was on the first team and what a player! Nice going, Richard, you certainly earned, their praise. Richard Olsen, Omer Kirk, Bill Neal, and Tommy Kantola were the other sophomore players. There were more sophs in the a cappella choir than from any other single grade; namely, Joe Shore, Clair Bunnell, Dean Beckwith, Allen Ritari, Richard Olsen, Kay Graff, Alex Elonen, Altha Bates, Delores Davis, Jane Hibler, Lois Wallace, Mary Lou Torrence, Martha Fiala, and Howard Irish. Gordon Turner was president of the Latin and Photography Clubs. Vice-president of the Latin Club was Altha Bates. They were guided through the year by president, Richard Wheeler; vice-president, Howard Irish; secretary, Dorothy Cook and treasurer, Bernice Hershey.

Freshman Class History Fifty-three wide eyed freshmen got their first thrill and scare when the seniors made them go through that frightful initiation in September. However, they came out of it with nary a scratch, but minus a shoe or two. They immediately got into the Rowe High stride and took their place in school activities by giving a skating party in the fall. It turned out to be a great success with no casualties, except a few skinned knees. Harriett Montgomery, Elizabeth Waddle, Mildred Kultti, Bessie Ring, Dick Armstrong, Laura Yusko, and Margaret Dewey passed their test successfully and became members of the A Cappella choir. Jean Wheeler, was that frosh news and gossip got its place in the Pilot Light. Bessie Ring won the badminton tournament and was also the star of the freshman basketball team. That “riot” sender Jerry Puffer and also Ray McVoy were on the basketball squad. A party with the sophomores was enjoyed in February. This proved to be such a big success that another one followed. Officers of the freshmen class were: president, Alan Punker; vice-president, Bessie Ring; secretary and treasurer, Mildred Kultti.
