FRESHMAN CLASS HISTOR Y On the sunny morning of September Z, 1947, a group of very intelligent looking boys and girls entered the Turtle Lake High School. After a few ribs from the upper classmen, our classes began. Our first two class periods were taken up by Agriculture for the boys and Home Economics for the girls. These classes passed very quickly with the help of Ramona Diers and Mr. Pederson. Classes were passed and we found that we had time to study if you can. At eleven o'clock we found ourselves face to face with Mr. Gates. We were told that this was General Science class. We were given our books along with some rules about chewing gum and whispering. After that, the 11:45 bellrang and we found that it was time to eat our lunch. At 12:45 classes were again resumed, After one hour of freedom, we found it hard to get busy, but nevertheless, we passed into the assembly room again. There we waited for Mr. Kingsbury to conduct our civics class. After that we were under Mrs. Ruf's care. We received our next day's assignment in English and so from 2:30 to 4:00 we had time to do homework. Week after week went by and then initiation came up. Wasn't so bad was it, kids? Talk of the party cooled down and things resumed their natural order. We all enjoyed going and listening to the University Numbers as well as the football and basketball games. , We all have high hopes for next year and are waiting patiently. SOPHOMORE CLASS HISTORY The year nineteen hundred and forty-six. found forty -five intelligent looking Freshmen entering Turtle Lake High School. Early that year we were very sorry to lose a very dear classmate, Freddie Nieman. Later, Rose Mary Thomas joined our class. We again return to school with more ambition than ever and now as sophomores, we are permitted to sit in the assembly. We are sorry to say that we have lost three more members of our class, Lloyd Potvin, Charles Kittelson, and Darlene Nickell, but we have gained another new 'member who is Allen Wendell. We have chosen for our class officers, the following: DuWayne Peterson ---- President Geraldine Dold -------- V ice President Laura McCuskey ------ Secretary Duane Orn ------------ T reasurer !0ur Initiation Party Committee: provided a quite a humorous evening on November 21, 1947. Each one did his part well, and I'm sure we all had a good time as well as a good lunch. We now have an enrollment of forty -two members, and hope we will all be together to enjoy the rest of our high school days. '
