In fact nothing, has been written about our class of '49, This history which we have complied is to enlighten other minds as to our great achievements. Not only have we been outstanding in achievement, but also in number. As Freshmen we were the largest class ever to enter Sauk City High School with an enrollment of 58. In our Senior year we had dwindled to 48. As Freshmen we inhabited the school like fleas trying to find our way between hairs. There seemed to be so many rooms and corridors in which we could get lost. But there is that old rule, survival of the fittest, and we survived. As is the custom, the boys received their christenings on the bubblers during the first days as initiation presents with the compliments of upper classmen. We followed the examples of experienced students and soon had learned the ropes. Despite the novelty and inexperience, we did participate in the many school activities—band, chorus, sports, forensics, etc. Well, the trials of our first year passed forever and the second began. Now it was our turn to give the initiation party which was highlighted by a watermelon eating contest. Those who looked upon us that year noticed our skilled in the way of life appearance. We were happy to will to the new Freshmen our past fears. We again took part in the various activities, perhaps to a greater extent than the year before. In our Junior year, we took a major part in Homecoming and other activi- ties. One of the maidens of our class, Catherine Rauls, had the honor to be chosen ueen. The highlight of this school year was the Junior Prom. And behold, it was Leap Year, the Mecca of every old maid. The girls, however, did not take advantage of the circumstance--what was the matter girls? The boys came through however and the Prom was a great success.
