THE SOPHOMORE CLASS As we prepared for high school in the seventh and eighth grades, we often wondered why our big brothers and sisters took only four or five subjects. After a week as freshmen we found out. However, we staggered through the freshman initiation, and under the guidance of Mr. Hirshey. even managed to give an all-school party in the spring. The officers who presided over us during the year were president, Ray Fogg; vice-president, Duane Punkar; secretary, Ruth Brauch; and treasurer, Steve Bosick. We came back in the fall of 1945 feeling like upper classmen. Our new officers were president, Duane Punkar; vice-president. Chuck West; secretary, Marjorie Emerson; and treasurer, Ruth Holdson. Sophomores were well represented in almost every school activity: Arlene Gee. Don Schlaich, Fred Osborne, Doris Kantola, Ruth Holdson, Bill Sanger, Imogene Crawford, Anna Elonen and Barbara Ritonen lent their voices to the A Cappella Choir. Steve Bosick, Ray Fogg and Duane Punkar were our gift to the basketball squad. The Pilot Light staff included Betty Torrence, Doris Beckwith, Marjorie Emerson, Dorothy Hibler, Duane Punkar, Virginia Mullen, Ruth Brauch, and Bette Harke. In addition, we were represented in the Home Economics Club, Industrial Arts Club, Girl Reserves, Photo Club, and Art Club. Our class welcomed three new members this year: Forrest Bennett, from Andover; Paul Swann, who was honorably discharged from the Army last October; and Gerald Ashcraft, from Conneaut High School. This brought our total enrollment to fifty-four. We really enjoyed the year 1945-46 under Mr. Hopper’s guidance and we are sure that the next two years will be just as much fun. FRESHMAN CLASS HISTORY Immediately being called “freshies” or “frosh,” we the 1945-46 freshmen, fifty-five strong, started the year; at first we were unaccustomed to changing classes and often got confused, and, blushing furiously, walked in on the wrong classes. But we survived these blunders and became full-fledged Rowe High students. Freshman initiation was our first big event and our first big worry. The upperclassmen tormented us by threats of the dire torture we were to endure the big night. When the big night finally did arrive, we found it was not half so bad as we had anticipated and we had a grand time. Class officers elected were president, Shirley Covert; vice-president. Merle Bunnell; secretary, Audrey Ahlberg; treasurer, Jane Ring. Merle Bunnell, our vice-president took over the presidncy when Shirley Covert left us to make her home in Massachusetts. New members of our class were Rose Frigic from Monroe, Mary Huston and Clifford Fleming from Tracy, Pennsylvania, and June Potter, from Conneaut. The freshmen were well represented in the A Cappella Choir: Joyce Calkins, Jo Daggitt, Pat Brown, Audrey Ahlberg, Jane Ring. Erla Woodworth. Frank Puffer, Merle Bunnell, Stanley Ring and Charles Colver were selected for membership. Our husky-looking boys who made the basketball squad were Merle Bunnell, Tom Waddle, Frank Puffer, Keith Olds, and Joe Karal. Bud Picard was the manager of the team with Bryce Blood as his able assistant. Our freshman class also took pride in our reserve cheerleaders, Sally Coblentz and Georgene Curtis. Freshmen on the Pilot Light staff were Rowena Parris, Jim Bennett and Stanley Ring. Other activities such as Latin Club of which George Nash was vice-president, Home Economics, Library Club, Science Club, Archery Club, Girls’ and Boys’ Chorus and band were also chosen as extra-curricular activities. We are looking forward to the days when we shall be seniors in the class of 1949. We shall look back at our first year in high school with many pleasant memories of Mr. Hirshey as our guide. And tell them valour walks their vanished world, Page 27
