JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY In the autumn 01 the year 1938, we, as an unable group of Freshmen, organized under the supervision of Miss Husted, our class sponsor. We elected four officers: Helen Parker, president; Jerry Heath, vice president; Betty Lou Rinkenberger, secretary; Herman Little, treasurer. We chose scarlet and gray as our class colors and red carnation as the flower. Our motto has been and still is, “First consider; then venture.” We had several parties during the year, and participated in the Plum Creek Review. We ended this exciting year by going on a picnic to Michigan City. Our green freshie days were over. In our Sophomore year we elected Gerry Teutemacher, president; Bill Braithwaite, vice president; Bill Kaiser, secretary; and Joyce Ward, treasurer. The class colors, motto and flower remained the same. We presented an outstanding act in the “Plum Creek Review” and organized a “Swing Band” which was directed by Herman Little. The class again chose Michigan City as the place to spend the end-of-school trip, and so ended another year for the class of 1942. Then arrived the year for which we had all looked forward—this, the Junior Year. Our officers are: Jerry Heath, president; Dick Engle, vice president; Betty Protsman, secretary; Betty Jane Grunewald, treasurer. We have sponsored several activities during the year which were very successful. They were: two roller skating parties, the Junior dance, candy sales, and Junior book-selling project. The social activities were: a Halloween party, a Christmas party and a Junior Class party. We bought class rings and sweaters of which we are all very proud. We have enjoyed the largest enrollment of any freshman, sophomore or junior class. In the Inter-Class Championship Basketball, the boys came in second and the girls lost in the first round. The girls’ captain was Genevieve Rolling, and the boys’ captain was Bill Kaiser. We plan to take both boys’ and girls’ championships next year. We have made arrangements for the Annual Junior-Senior Banquet and Prom to be given in honor of the Seniors of 1941.
