They soon settled down to the routine of classes and teach- ers, however, and elected Kay Bredleau as their class president. Under his leadership they put on a very successful dance. Wilma Noble, the class princess, did her part in adding a substantial amount to the Girl's League Loan fund, by selling penny votes. During the sophomore year, they were more settled, and not auite so over- whelmed. Eric Otto was elected to guide the classes' activities. During this year the class gave the first dance of the season, and presented an assembly to raise money for the tuberculosis drive. Geraldine Garver was the classes' choice for prom princess. The following year the class of '46 finally became of age. At last they were upperclassmen. Cliff Cole, the class prexy, led the class through a very eventful year. ln order to raise funds for the Junior Prom, they held several successful dances, and sold cakes at noon, Their Prom had an original Spanish setting, and Bob Christiansen's orchestra provided the music. Barbara Lang- staff was selected by her classmates as their candidate for Prom Queen. Last but by no means least, came their senior year. Jerry Snyder presided over the meetings for most of the year. Under his guidance the annual Sadie l-lawkins Dance and a Valentine Party for the seniors were planned and held. Fern l-luntzinger took over Jerry's duties for the remainder of the year when he left for the Navy. Maxine Sorenson reigned as Queen of the Junior Prom.
