minstrels to cavemen. They stuck together too. Along with a little help from other inmates, they put popular Don Foss and his gal Mary Petersen on the Snow Ball throne around December. The class of ‘50 was pretty democratic. With a girl president, no less! But Barbara Christensen got cooperative help from Barry Conner, vice president; Janice Knapp, secretary; Jim Dennon, treasurer; and faithful H.A. as adviser. If they had ever been busy in their high school careers before, surely nothing possibly compared to what the kids began in 1948. Chuck Smith really kept them moving. All that fall, most of the juniors saw football games over jars of mu stard and steaming hot dogs. Alene Sanders learned to keep her car on two wheels, too as she barreled the boiling weinies to the games. Every trip meant money for the kitty and those juniors had dollar signs for eyes! They even tossed in a few rally dances on the side. Round April, comic books and history texts came second to the manuscript for the junior class play. Mr. Marlantes became temporarily bald and baggy-eyed as his protoges rehearsed . Somehow it turned out okey and the opening night, April 20, of the play “Hoppsville Holiday,, saw the troupers in their best false eyelashes and pancake make-up. Romer and Don made like Barrymore while Joy and Elsie “wowed em” in a good Hepburn fashion. Now the juniors knew they were running Rockeffeller competition. To show everyone they weren’t misers, the go- getters parted with most of their hard earned green- backs to toss a Junior Prom. Van Armitage and his band gave “atmosphere” to the place while all the guys and gals showed off their new clothes. That was the shindig where Mar Lynn Virgin and Keith Molan were queen and king. Didn’t Mar Lynn look sophisticated in that black, strapless formal. And the decorations.whee! The old, grey gym was hardly recognizeable with that false, blue- crepe-paper wall. Remember too in the center of the dance floor, that simply clever tree with the bright blossoms! It was a real, grown-up prom. Everyone was too exausted after all that work to do much else in the few days left of their junior year. Then, in the fall of 1949 the kids plunged right back into the swim of things.hot dogs to the right of them, hot dogs to the left of them and money bag in front of them! Yep, they were big guns . seniors! They couldn’t initiate the frosh so they decided to scare them indirectly i f nothing else. A part of the gang got together in one of Marion Larson’s lone- ly river-front cottages and dreamed up an assembly so hair-raising the authors had to be psychoanalyzed before they could come back to school. Remember the feeling as all the students trouped into the pitch black, incensed assembly on October 29? The wind (M.L.) and the screams (J.K.) were spooky too, besides all the strangling and stuff on stage. Seniors couldn't get it out of their systems in just an assembly, so they gave a Halloween Party to boot the next night. Still money-mad they sank this all into work and time for the comic opperetta, “The Emperor’s Cloth- ” es”. Jack Hart was a “kill” when he modeled his “originals”. Ah, those nerve-racking Thanksgiving holidays! The winter was made bearable by the big Senior Ball. Although the class couldn’t get an orchestra, everyone had plenty of fun in that swank Gearhart Hotel lounge. Pretty Betty Choyce and lanky Dick Hertz were the nobility. It was the seniors’ last big splurge and everyone made the most of it. As May inevitably rolled around, the gang was restless, wanted to get out, yet hated to leave. To many seniors, May 31 meant the ultimate in attain- ment, to others it meant farwell to many friends. To all there was a mixture of joy and sadness in the last, exciting moments. However, each took the graduation exercises in stride with a dignity that filled all with pride to have been associated with this swell class of 1950!
