Freshmen • • • In August, 1942, we, thirty-four green, bewildered Freshies of Tremont Commu- nity High School, entered its doors for the first time. At the beginning of the school year everything seemed a little confusing, but being a very intelligent class, with some ex- ceptions, we soon became accustomed to our new environment. Several days after school commenced, two new members entered our class: Earl Rodgers and Jim Risinger. In December, another new member, Irving Hundt, was initiat- ed into our class. We were all very sorry to have lost one of our dearest class members, Gwendolyn Ruckman, after the first semester. The total enrollment of the Freshman class was then thirty-six. At our first class meeting, Robert Myers was elected president; Katherine Hunt, vice-president; Clinton Koch, treasurer; and Myra Lou McMakin as our secretary. Mr. Schoenfeld was chosen as class adviser. Quite a few members of our class belong to the school band. Our class is not only represented in the school band, but it also has many members in the chorus. We hope to be able to contribute more each year to the activities of our school. Our class has priority on some of the most promising basketball material. They are: Earl Rodgers, Harold Strunk, Robert Huette, Robert Myers, Gale Bolliger, and Clin- ton Koch. These boys were on the second team which finished its season undefeated in the county and as far as we know, in the state. Jim Risinger is one of the managers of the team. A few weeks after school had started the Sophomores entertained us with a very pleasant wiener roast at Dillon Creek. In October the Freshies had a hay rack ride which was enjoyed very much. Later on in the season, we held a coasting party at Prairie Creek. We are undoubtedly looking forward with great anticipation when we shall be “High and Mighty” Sophomores.
