Learning to sew a fine seam The students ot Shatter l-ligh School are preparing themselves tor either vocaf tions or higher education. Due to the increase in attendance, courses ot study have been expanded to meet the needs ot larger classes and a changing world. The large variety ot subjects ottered has kept students interested and indus- trious. Along with the traditional subjects W- History, English, Mathematics, Science - this year we took Aviation Science, Metal Shop, lnstitutional Cooking, Music, Artcratt, and a number ot other varied courses. lmprovement ot instruction has been achieved through the extensive use ot the motion picture, the wire recorder, and transcriptions. The Shatter community is predominately agricultural and the school also stresses it. A new agricultural building has been added to the school tarm. The agriculture mechanics classes are now being held in it. Eighty acres including a vineyard have been purchased by the school so that the boys may have an opportunity to further their careers in agriculture. CLASS OF '48 First semester president. Kroeker.

At Christmas time the ambitious seniors sold Christmas cards and also included various booths sponsored by clubs and classes, wrestling and added over one hundred dollars to their treasury. Another ot their financial endeavors was the selling of grab bags at noon in the hall. The outstanding social events of the year included the annual senior carnival which was held on the high school tootball tield in April. The carnival this year boxing matches, and a rattle. The Spring Prom and the senior farewell dance are two ot the events given tor the senior class by the junior class and the student body.

CLASS OF '50 Under the guidance of their advisors, Miss Ruth Hilbert and Mr. Tom Letizia, and their capable officers, the sophomores have had a year filled with activity. The first event of interest was the freshman initiation assembly at which the sophomores really poured it on the freshmen. That night they entertained with a Freshman Welcome Dance which brought out the whole class. Another activity of the sophomore class is the traditional Sophomore Day. A competition among all classes consisting of sack races, track events and other contests is held and the day ends with a tug-o-war through a mud hole between the freshman and sophomore boys. The officers for the first semester included: president, Tom Kellyg vice presi- dent, lerry lohnsg secretary-treasurer, lean Wright, social chairman, Betty Stringer, yell leader, Dewayne Neufeld. For the second semester of the year the class chose as officers: president, Doyle Methenyg vice president, Philip Bryant, secretary-treasurer, Betty Stringer, social chairman, Vida Useltong yell leader, Glyn Scales.

CLASS OF '51 As usual the bewildered frosh were so busy adjusting themselves to the ways of Shatter High School that they had little opportunity to sponsor activities. The freshman chose as their first semester officers: president, Richard Fletcherp vice president, Bob Bazeg secretary-treasurer, Vivian Handel: yell leader, Marjorie Lilesg social chairman, Paul Cato. The officers for the second semester were: president, Richard Fletcher: vice president, l. C. Warnekeg secretary, Vivian l-landelg social chairman, Vernon Edwards: yell leader, Larry Barnett. The freshman initiation by the sophomores was conducted during an all school assembly instead of at a party as formerly. ln addition to the usual pie eating and balloon breaking stunts, the freshmen revealed the musical talent among their members. ln the evening they were guests of the sophomores at a dance in the gym, turning out lOO per cent to begin their social careers as high school students. The freshman social calendar is ended by the return party given by them for the sophomores. The freshman advisor this year was Mr. Edwin Delvlello. RICHARD FLETCHER Class President x , ik Q .
