Sophomore Class History We, the sophomore class, under the management of our president, Don Horwood, and secretary. Martha Lou Harr, started our year out hopefully, but uneventfully. Our sophomore party was the first highlight of the year and it drew a large crowd. The sophomore assembly play “The Pampered Darling” with Cleo Rhodes as the “pampered darling” was a masterpiece of humor and went over big with the audience. Many of our members made use of their vocal ability by being in the A Cap-pella choir: Shirley Swartz, Don Horwood, Elizabeth Montgomery, Cleo Rhodes. Shirley Emhoff, and Raymond Usher. In the musical field also are the band and orchestra members: Shirley Emhoff, Doris Joslin, Raymond Usher, and .Jane Coblentz. Also we are proud to have supplied the largest number of basketball players to the varsity: Tim Healy, Ted Hirsimaki, Don Horwood, James Kantola, Cleo Rhodes, and Doug Woodworth made this record. The journalists in this class who work on the Pilot Light are Martha Lou Harr. Pat Daggitt, Shirley Swartz, Dorothy Marn, Catherine Chambers, Doug Woodworth, and Tim Healy. Many of our members were in the extra-curricular activities and clubs. Martha Lou Harr was president, Katherine Chambers, vice president, and Joyce Childs, secretary of the Boys' and Girls’ Home Ec. Club; Don Horwood, was president, and Pat Daggitt, treasurer of the Latin Club; Ted Hirsimaki was vice president and Doug Woodworth secretary of the Boys’ Industrial Arts Club, and Gertrude Adams the treasurer of the Girls’ Industrial Arts Club. We were glad to receive two new members in our class this year, Jane Coblentz and Duane Hackett. We hope the rest of our school years will go along as smoothly as has this year under the expert guidance of our home room teacher, Mr. Hopper, so that we may take our place as the graduating class of 1947. With a Look of Joy and a Thrill of Pride Freshman Class History We the Freshmen of “44” are called “Greenies,” “Hey you,” “Squirt,” “Runt’’ and various other names too numerous to mention; but we are proud of these names usually. When we entered high school, we were shy and somewhat frightened at the prospects of going to classes and at the imminent initiation, but that big night finally came and we started the fireworks off by riding in on hobby horses. We were proud of those masterpieces which ranged from the spark plug, cross-eyed, lean and bony type to 'beautiful chargers with long silken manes and kind brown eyes. Dancing and refreshments followed the initiation and we had a glorious time, though a few of us had difficulty finding our shoes. Mr. Hirshey, our home room teacher guided us throughout the year and we were just one big happy family. After our fear of initiation was over, we decided to choose our officers: Ray Fogg, president, Duane Punkar, vice president, Ruth Brauch. secretary, and Steve Bosick, treasurer. The tallest person in our class is Imogene Crawford; the shortest is William Betts; Ray Fogg is the funniest. Shall we ever forget his impersonations at the junior party ? We offered our many talents to school activities. Ruth Armstrong. Ruth Brauch, Imogene Crawford, Anna Elonen. Arlene Gee, Ruth Holdson and Doris Kantola strained their vocal cords and received admittance to the A Cappella Choir. The Pilot Light admitted Dorothy Hibler, Virginia Mullen, Betty Torrence, Ruth Continued on Page 41

Oh! What a Wondrous Thing It Is And what do you think of these prize beauties, my friend? Aren’t these snaps something to write home about? Lets say a few words about each one, shall we? ... Here is Harold Smith, former teacher at Rowe, with a few erstwhile present-day Juniors . . . Only two of these boys in school, Paul Evans and Bob Schlaich, Kay Graff in the Navy . . • Would you know the dignified Shirley Emhoff . . . And look who’s laughing—must be a stunt at the French Club party . . . Some basketball greats— Rob Puffer and Clarence Kennedy, resting on their laurels . . . My, my, what good looking children, none other than the Healys—notice that loving attitude between them . . . What a manly physique on Evans, must come from Calisthenics . . . Look at this Class picture of the 7th grade at Rowe some years ago . . . Why the grouchy look, Clarence (maybe cause he couldn’t sit with the girls) notice the little angels Kultti, Wheeler, Healy, and Atkins in the front row . . . Bessie is pushing someone under maybe its Armstrong . . . two demure Juniors, Margaret and Lois ... an old picture of sophs . . . Oh, my, that frosh initiation. Billy Sanger would make a nice-looking old lady . . . Mary Lu and Betty are being squeezed in the picture, don’t you think . . . looks like Graham’s rumpus room.
