JUNIOR CLASS HISTOR Y In the fall of 1945 the stork left 36 bundles of joy in the cradles of Turtle Lake High School. After being nursed along through our first spills, we finally learned our firsti words. A few of us died in infancy while others crept along toward the higher things in life. It was also in this year that we were weaned from our bottles and proceeded with not quite so many foolish questions. In the beginning of our sophomore year there was that dreaded polio epidemic and our mothers didn't want us to come in contact with the other boys and girls so we rested for two more weeks before starting off to school. You can imagine the excited, or should I say frightened, looks on our faces when we stepped into world history class to say nothing of algebra. Yes, we needed rechanging and guiding by our mother faculty many times. During this year we grew stronger and some of our class members partic- ipated in sports. We also found some of our baby voices maturing enough to make a place for themselves in glee club. Some of us grew strong enough to even participate in band. We learned more and more about words so we could even take part in the annual declamation contest. And now, this, our junior year, we were grown up enough to present our class play, The Harvest Queen, in December. We now feel grown up enough to prepare our- selves for that wonderful event, the Junior Prom. Our class president selected to reign over the affair is Clarence Colburn. To assist him with class .affairs until that time we chose Donald Schramski, Russell Baker, and Weldon Fredricks. We hope that by next year we shall be ready to leave our cradles and face the world ourselves. Juniors, Don't forget: Rodney Anderson--Nurse in the Cumberland Hospital. Bernice Becker - -Chemistry.
