Shehian, FRESHMAN CLASS IIISTORY The .fall of 1941 found 26 prospective freshmen roaming the halls of Shel- don High.. Although most of us were fairly well acquainted with everything and everybody, we were much in doubt as to where to go and what to do with ourselves. With the help of the upperclassmen who showed us around and the teachers who put us to work, we soon had little time left to think about our bashfulness.. The class officers who were elected were: president, Elaine Disosway: vice president, Robert Boweng secretary, Beulah Harrolleg treasurer, Freddy Rougk, Red and blue were chosen as our class colors. Our representatives elected to the Student Council were, Freddy Rougk and Beulah Harrolle. During the second week in October we held a class picnic and Weiner roast out at Zumwa1t's woods. This year one -of our classmates. Harriett McKimson, was chosen cheer- leader, while Mary Disosway was a baton twirler at many of the home games. Mary was also freshman reporter on the Sheco. Beulah Harrolle, Elaine Disosway, Jeanne Morgan, Harriett McKimson, Phyllis Ingalls, Rosemary Wishnieff, Rosalie Tapp, Mary Disosway, Norma Bray, Mary Mae Armstrong, .loan Wickiser and Margaret Redburn joined the girls' glee club. Kenneth Fletcher, George Meyer, James Keller and Robert Sen- nett joined the boys' glee club. Most of us sang in the Music Festival at Mil- ford in December and the Christmas Vesper. Kenneth Fletcher and George Meyer sang a duet at the Vesper. The boys initiated into FFA as greenhands were: Freddy Rougk, Darold Hall, Robert Bowen, Harry Witman, Gene Stanley and James Keller. During the latter part of January, GAA initiation was held at which we proved to be pretty good sports. Phyllis Ingalls, Elaine Disosway, Harriett lVlcKimson, Rosemary Wishnieff, Jeanne Morgan, Norma Bray, Beulah Har- rolle, Mary Mae Armstrong, Rosalie Tapp and Mary Disosway were members. On February 7 we sponsored an all-school Valentine party. March lst decreased our number to twenty-five when Oliver Woods moved to Donovan. Before he left, the faculty and freshmen surprised him with a pot-luck supper at the high school. Two new pupils, Wayne Glasgow of Brook, Indiana, and Grace Freeman of Stockland, joined our group soon afterward. We're all looking forward to our next years in high school, hoping that tha-y'll be as happy as our first one. STUDENTS' LALIENT I think that I shall never .be Able to make 'bove C or D. A grade like that is really tragic, D To make one higher would be magic. With the teacher I had a session To improve my brain dimension. As to results, I cannot say, My head is empty all the way. Low grades are made by fools like us, Only smarties can make A plus. Senior Play - - Not bad at all - - Stop - - g I942
