eighth and seventh grades FEELING themselves to be old ti1r1ers with a year of experience be- hind them, the eighth grade proved to be an energetic class. They began with a sleigh ride at Hilltop Riding Academy. On Valen- tine's Day, Shevlin was the scene of another party. The eighth grade girls joined with those of the seventh grade to give their Mothers, Tea. The ohicers of the class were David Bailey, president, Helen Mae johnson, vice president, Sigrid Tracht, secretary, Betsy Iohan- son, treasurer. The class was represented in the Senate by Bessie Ewing and Paul Zietlow. Faculty advisors were Mrs. Anderson, Mr. Matlon, and Mr. McCutcheon. THE ADVANTAGES of having a small class are in knowing each member well and learning the ropesl' for the span of high school years ahead. Always standing high in class competitions, the seventh grade enthusiastically entered the activities of the school. For the most of their social activi- ties the class joined the eighth grade. Early in the year the two classes exchanged par- ties. The Mothers' Tea was given under joint sponsorship also. Under Kathy Frank, general chairman assistant, the girls put EIGHTH GR.-EIDE: First Row: M. Anderson, lnclqson, Grczlznnz, Sec. Trncht, Pres. Bailey, V. Pres. H. lolznson, Trans.

freshman class ENHANCED by many new members, the class of '51 soon became a friendly and active group. Being socially minded, and aided by holidays, they held five parties in the fall quarter alone. Halloween witches and Santa Claus inspired them to give two gala events, as they used Halloween and Christmas as the basic themes for decoration. On February thirteenth, after the basketball game with Wayzata, the ninth grade sponsored a Iinx Dance. Entering Shevlin, one had to dash quickly through a ladder, for every superstition was dis- carded. Even the number thirteen helped everyone have a good time. The ninth grade cheered espe- cially, for they were making a pro-Ht! The entire student body turned out en masse in high spirits over the basketball victory. In meeting its obligations and solving its problems, the freshman class exhibited their talent in many all-school activities. Also to their credit is the mem- ber of the class, Kathy Coram, who was awarded the Acme Apple. This is an honor award given each year to the most outstanding girl in the Iunior High. The ninth grade senators, Rosalie Nash and Bud Fuhrman, provided the class with efficient repre- sentation in the Senate. The mothers were honored by the annual tea un- der the direction of Ann Potter. A skit portraying the step from Iunior High into Senior High had the audience enthralled. Officers of the class were Kathy Coram, President, Kenny Mohn, Vice President, Mary Anne David- son, Secretary, Bill Mason, Treasurer. Advisors were Donovan Iohnson, Howard Nelson, Louise McKenzie and Alix Marie Noviant. FRESHMAN CLASS: Top Picture: Top Row: Sachs, Val- entine, Wrenn, Sehliehter, Nelson, Priee.
