30 C L A S S H I S T O R Y In the year of 1941, twenty-five bewildered Freshies trudged up the steps of Unity High to take their seats in the Freshman row. Five of these Freshies became frightened and soon left us: they were Clifford Rineheart, Orville Domer, Theresa Shrieber, Milton Dommer, and Duane Landwher. After enduring an initiation party given by the Sophmores, we became full fledbed members of the High School. Although we furnished much amusement to the upper classmen, we.had a high scholastic standing and a great interest in outside activities. Our Class officers were: Orville Van Sleet, President: Joyce Bauer, Vice President: and Delores Mews, Secretary and Treasure. In September, 1942, we entered U. H. S. as Sophmores. Eva Jean Lang failed to return, but with the addition of Donald Hederer from Marshfield and Robert Evert from Spencer we had a class of twenty-one members. We enjoyed giving the Wgreen Freshiesn their initi- ation. Again we contributed members to band, chorus, basket-ball and forensics. After the first semester Joyce Bauer left us. Our class officers were: Robert Ewert, President: Orville Van Sleet, Vice President: and Shirley Larson Secretary and Treasurer. As Juniors,1n 1943, we were joined by Eva Jean Lang from Colby. Later Beverly Colby, Shirley Larson, Eleanore Greening, Alvina Bauer, and Donald Hederer left us. Delores Mews became a member of the Senior Class of '44. we elected the following Class officers: President, Wayne Salter: Vice President, Edward Mews: Secretary and Treasure, Mable Schultz. In April we gave our Class play entitled nAn American is Bornu under the direction of our class adviser Urs. Olson. It proved to be a great success.
