Junior Class History The juniors will always remember their first day in high school. We walked into Mr. Hirshey’s room looking like scared little rabbits, but by the end of the day we had a grim and determined look on our faces. It was only a matter of a few weeks until the senior class made us official high school students! The night that we were initiated was one we will never forget. Soon after this we settled down and elected our class officers: Don Horwood, president; Cleo Rhoads, vice president; Elizabeth Montgomery, secretary; and Maxine Reets, treasurer. By the end of the year we realized that we had made wise choices. Our freshman boys who entered into athletic activities were Cleo Rhoads, Ted Hirsimaki, and Douglass Wood-worth, all of them being on the basketball squad. The A Capella Choir chose six of our class to join its ranks: Elizabeth Montgomery, Cleo Rhoads, Shirley Emhoff, Shirley Swartz, Raymond Usher, and Donald Horwood. Toward the end of January our class sponsored a dance for the students and alumni after the Edgewood and Rowe basketball game. While our learning might be questioned our experiences were great and we ended our freshman year with a picnic at the Township Park. In three months’ time we were back in school. It did not seem possible that we could be sophomores, for it had not been so long before that we were only in the grades. Our class started out under the management of our president, Donald Horwood, and secretary, Martha Lou Harr. The first highlight of the social season of Rowe was a party given by the sophomores. Our assembly play was “The Pampered Darling” with Cleo Rhoads portraying the pampered darling. It was considered a masterpiece of humor in a one act play. The rest of the cast were Douglass Woodworth, Shirley Emhoff, Donald Horwood, Earl Healy, Pat Daggitt, Elizabeth Montgomery, Joyce Childs, Shirley Swartz, Doris Joslin, and Raymond Usher. Many members of our class again re-entered the A Capella Choir, band, and orchestra. We were proud to have supplied the largest number of basketball players to the squad: Earl Healy, Ted Hirsimaki, Donald Horwood, James Kan-tola, Cleo Rhoads, and Douglass Woodworth. Also we supplied the Pilot Light with an ample number of workers. We were glad to receive two new members to our class this year, Jane Coblentz and Duane Hackett. We hoped the rest of our school years would go along as smoothly as this year had. “JUNIORS!” This was a word which sounded very grown-up to all of us. When we walked into the junior room at the beginning of the year, we found that we had a new home room advisor, Miss Munger, a member of the Rowe faculty. It was not long before we realized how grand she was going to be as our guide. Again the junior class sponsored one of the first parties of the season; it took place in October and the Hallowe'en theme was used. At our class election time Donald Horwood was re-elected as president; Earl Healy, vice president; Martha Lou Harr, secretary; Douglass Woodworth, treasurer. We were very happy this year when one of our class was voted a cheerleader. We know her as Jane Coblentz. With her untiring efforts she has won our favored praises. We were glad to offer the following boys to the basketball squad: Don Horwood, James Xantola, Earl Healy, Ted Hirsimaki, Edward Thayer, Douglass Woodworth. We were very sorry when Cleo Rhoads broke his leg in the summer so that he was unable to be on the squad, but he served as a scorer at the games. In November we presented our junior play entitled “Poor Dear Edgar,” a riotous three act comedy. Douglass Woodworth took the lead part of Edgar with the following as his supporting cast: Martha Lou Harr, Earl Healy, Pat Daggitt, Shirley Emhoff. Elizabeth Montgomery, Donald Horwood, Cleo Rhoads, Shirley Swartz, Raymond Usher, Jane Coblentz, and Dottie Hews. It was under the direction of Mrs. Wilma McCague, who was presented an orchid by the cast. The following juniors were chosen to be in the one act play for the one act play contest: Raymond Usher. Shirley Emhoff, and Don Horwood. Viking Saga 1946 ★ ★★★★★★ Page 25
