THE ECHO 1945 FRESHMEN The first of the year caught the freshmen a little “flat-footed”. The avei’age didn’t know what to do with himself. When elections came along, they were past that stage. After a close race with strong competition Bob Gibson was on top in more ways than one. Elsie Schaefer was elected as our trusted and efficient secretary and treasurer. There was a close race between Curtis Koch and Dick Anderson, who were both modest enough to vote for his opponent. Dick came out on top. Our vice-president, Allen Oyer, hasn’t done much this year, but we all like him and so there was no impeachment. Our financial position is not bad. We don’t spend much on parties as only two a semester are allowed and our income is good. Our class dues keep us going, and a sandwich sale we had early in the year didn’t pull us down. We have had the privilege to walk out ahead of the Juniors. Either our grades are up or the Juniors are down. Our class meetings are a “whiz.” Bob Gibson, our president, and Coach Schoenfeld, our sponsor, had a two- way conversation at the first of the year, but we are getting better all the time.

THE ECHO 19 4 5 SOPHOMORES Way back in 1943 our class enter- ed the marble halls of Tremont High School expecting an exciting time— and we weren’t disappointed. For the next three weeks, half of us were wandering into the math room while the other half was “raising the roof” in general science lab. Mr. Foli, our class advisor, steer- ed us through the fog of the fresh- man year. He was ably assisted by Paul Woerner, president; Bill Carpen- ter, vice-president; Mary Lou Fluegel, secretary; Mai’garet Callahan, treas- urer. Thirty of us returned in the fall as sophisticated, or “stuck-up” (take your choice) sophomores. We had lost Virginia Strauch, Ruth Davidson, and Bob Hayworth. We were very sorry to have Sonny Van Buren leave us to join the Navy. Bob Lewis en- tered our class. As Sophomores we elected Mary Lou Fluegel, president; Margaret Cal- lahan, vice-president; Betty Ellen Beyer, secretary; Betty Mae Chadock, treasurer. Mr. Wallace was chosen advisor. Four of our Sophomore boys, Ken- ny Ruth, Louis Woehl, Bill Garlish, and Bill Carpenter, contribute to school athletics Many of us took part in other outside activities, namely, band, chorus, G. A.

THE EC Cheer Many times during the basketball season, the basketball boys have been spurred on to victory by the Tremont fans. The enthusiasm of the fans has been due to the splendid leadership of our three cheerleaders. The lead- ers include two juniors, Myra Mc- Makin and Dorothy Schwinn, and one Senior, Evelyn Schwinn. HO 19 4 5 Leaders Evelyn Schwinn has been our cheer- leader for two previous years while the other two girls were cheerleaders last year. These girls have had much experience and they really know how to go about leading our yells. Reading, left to right: Evelyn Schwinn, Dorothy Schwinn, Myra Mc- Makin. • Page 20
