We made desperate attempts to hide our despair and fear at finding ourselves in 3uch an immense universe with so many impertinent Sophomores, those too jolly Juniors, and those awful dignified Seniors. Seeker to serve our class in the honorable position of President; Marian olliger as Vice President; and Norma Jean Hoffman as Secretary-Treasurer. After several weeks of school had passed we heard rumors that we were to be initiated by those merciless Sophomores. At the time it was quite embarrasing to display our none too gifted talents, before the faculty and student body. A few davs later they favored us with a weiner roast w’ich we returned several weeks later. We were grateful for that ever patient and guiding hand of our class advisor. Miss Hellemann who so faithfully helped us through our Freshman year. When our class assembled for school in ninetoon- hundred thirty six, we were saddened by the thought teat a number of our former classmates would not be with us through the following year. Those who did not return were: Hazel Lynch, Lucile Kvle, Marjorie and Delores Keidcl, Lydia Miller, Viola TT a 4 w -P - Chapter II. Kee, Merle Nafiziger, Loren Lowry and Clarence Schurtcr.
