THE FRESHMEN If Father Leonard. prefect of the freshmen, has that exhausted look at the end of the year, it will be because he has spent the year keeping one jump ahead of the forty active members of the yearling class. Initiation, sports, studies, all were taken in stride. After some experience in league play, the freshmen organized a football team of their own. Games with Visitation of Tacoma and Washington Junior High School of Olympia were played late in the season. Team members were De Luca, Roy, Gamache, Philip Eckroth, Denton, McGill, Fortney, Chartrand, Norris, Bidwell and Bouson. The frosh basketeers got an early start, with McGill, Eckroth, Denton, Fortney, Chartrand. Brenner, Roy and Mueller making up a scrappy squad. Competition ranged from the boys of Briscoe school at Kent, Visitation, Holy Rosary and the Boys' Club of Tacoma, and local teams from Lacey, South Bay and Tumwater. Outstanding athlete of the freshman class was Otto Fink, a regular on the varsity football and basketball teams. Fink showed considerable ability as a boxer. Other yearling boxers were Roy, Akers, Grasser and Bosserman. Freshmen are not all brawn and no brain. Bosserman led the Honor Roll all year, having a perfect rating of 4.00 at the semester. Denton, Philip Eckroth, Bouson, Savio and Koreski were also honor students. The Ranger Flight Club was made up predominantly of freshmenfbest model plane builders being White, Koreski, Bidwell and Gamache. Radio code class fascinated many of the lads, and not a few took to stamp collecting. Journalism class attracted some future editors. Class officers were Otto Fink, president: Gerald McGill, vice president: Charles Bosserman, secretary treasurer, Bill Gamache, sergeant at arms. A great number of the freshmen plan to return-and the prospect of a lively three years ahead returns with them.

THE SOPHOMORES Variety is the theme of the Class of '47, There is the mighty Wisniewski, the di- minutive Shaw: there are Californians, Oregonians, Tuma from the wide open spaces of Cut Bank, Montana, and many Washington lads---some from such famous places as Skykomish. The class, largest in the school, numbers nearly a half hundred. Football drew a considerable group of sophomores-Phil Downey, letterman of last year. played a bang-up game at guard: Joe Dawson, quarter, light, fast, fine kicker, suffered a broken collar bone in the first game of the season at Aberdeen, and was out for the season, except to do some spectacular kicking in the last games played. Bill Wisniewski, 225 pound tackle from Olympia, was a stalwart of the line. Other squad men were Lawrence Courtney and Dick Twardoski of Buckley, George Lawson of Olympia, Carl Hoffman of Seattle, Wes Tuma of Cut Bank, Jule Schwartz of Skykomish. Kelso's Charles Renaud was a capable manager. Basketball letters were won by Joe Dawson and Frank Peterman. Pete Eckroth was a second team player who promises to develop into a good man for next year. Many sophs were stellar actors in league play in both football and basketball. Re- turning in large numbers, they should make athletic history in '46 and '47. Perhaps the class was too athletic -Y for its percentage of Honor Roll students was not too high. Tom Shryne and Bill Wisniewski of Olympia, and Joe Traynor of Tacoma, were con- sistent Honor Roll students. Provo and Dawson won the coveted spot at least once - and there were quite a few who were close to the 3.00. Officers of the class are Phil Downey, president: L. Courtney, vice president: Wayne Scheuneman, secretaryg Jerry Shaw, treasurer, and Wesley Tuma, sergeant- at-arms. The sophomores have been very active in extra-curricular affairs. They can be looked to for many interesting happenings in the years to come.
