OPEN LETTER TO TAHOMA TEDDY Dear TaHoMa Teddy: The road we've been traveling with you these last four years is reaching its fulfillment. As fate would have it, our graduation year of 1954 is also the year that TaHoMa reached its fulfillment, the original plans of the architect having beeing finally realized. Do you remember, Teddy, that as Freshmen we numbered 45 and like all Freshmen we felt most inferior, espcially after being initiated? We lived with our green hair for weeks afterward. We began to feel like humans again only after we gave our Freshman Return Party. We called that party It's 'Tainted because it t'wasn't Christmas, New Year, Thanksgiving, or any other holiday. That year we adopted a constitution which we were especially proud of because it was the first class constitution in the history of TaHoMa. Among other things we were proud of was our movie dance entitled Freshman Frolic.” — Remember, Teddy, it was the first one ever held here. We were proud too, that our class was represented in the all-school play, Grandad Steps Out, Pat Sandhei and Sandy Jensen doing the honors. Climaxing a wonderful year was our picnic at Lake Wilderness. Officers that year were Pat Sandhei, President; Rita Klien, Vice-President; Wayne Huselton, Secretary; Eileen Meek, Treasurer; with Mrs. Delsman as our adviser. As Sophomores we returned 33 strong, ready to continue on our long trip through high school. We again sponsored a successful movie dance, using the theme of Dog Patch Days.” That year we also successfully produced an assembly play entitled Tillies Hero, two skating parties, and a class picnic. The all school play that year, Arsenic and Old Lace,” made use of Wayne Huselton, Jim McGraw, Jim Twedt, Sandy Jensen, New ell Denney, and Dale Huselton. Our officers for that year were Wayne Huselton, President; Leon Sproat, Vice President; Sandy Jensen, Secretary; Eileen Meek, Treasurer; and Mr. Jensen as class adviser. In our junior year, Teddy, as we know you remember, we found ourselves reduced to 31 members. That year we were most proud of the Junior Senior Prom” with its theme of Moonlight and Roses. The decorations were beautiful and the music provided by Harry Apetz and his orchestra was ''truly heavenly. Our representatives for that prom were Queen Eileen Meek and King Ken Metz. The junior class that year also sponsored two skating parties and a class picnic at Lake Wilderness. In the all-school play, A Date With Judy, Pat Sandhei, Sandy Jensen, Bill Pangburn, Joan Flint, and Diana Delsman took part. Class officers that year were Wayne Huselton, President; Ken Metz, Vice President; Dolly Thompson, Secretary; Pat Sandhei, Treasurer; and Mr. Ziegner as our helpful adviser. Twenty-five survivors returned for the senior year, Teddy. We knew then that we wouldn't be the biggest graduating class, as we had once hoped to be, but that we would be the graduating class most envied because of the completion of the new auditorium in time for our graduation. Our wonderful officers for this year were Dale Huselton, President; Leon Sproat, Vice President; Sharon Read Secretary; Agnes Beaudry, Treasurer; and M. McNair as our kindly and helpful adviser. Always yours, The Class of '54” P.S.—Just in case you don’t remember the things we did to and for you this year— we invite you to review this book more carefully.
