E ' :mmf-1944 29 FHESHMAN CLASS FHISTIJHY On September l3th, 1943, the doors of Van Wert High School swung open to admit 165 Freshmen, who were from that day hence to grace the corridors of our fair school. Sure we were very green, as green as Freshmen come, but we learned quickly. A few of our number lost themselves in the rush and turned up in Biology instead of Business Arithmetic, but on the whole, we survived the first few days and came through with banner flying. Our class election resulted in one of the members of our fairer sex holding the office of President. The lass was Virginia Phillipy. Charles Finch is our Vice President, Marcia Wyandt, Secretary, and David Hunt, Treasurer. To represent us on the Student Council we elected Virginia Seavy, Betsy Feigert, Charles Raabe and Kent Speith. At the present time the Freshman Class has contributed two and one-half jeeps to the war effort. Une of our Freshmen was elected Cltcer Leader, Corky Clay. On the football squad we were represented by Joe Keil, Charles Raabe, Donald Stover, Paul Young, Ronald Fetter, John Haller, Edward Dickson and Robert Jones. ln basketball, Max Barrientos, Joe Keil, Roger Allan, Dudley Stetler and James Loetz played on the Reserves. Chorus and Band seemed to get their share of our illustrious I ? I class. Although there was no Freshman ensemble some of us got to sing with the chorus in the Choral Concert. We had a Clarinet Quartet composed of four Freshmen, Virginia Phillipy, Carol Harvey, Marilyn Carlo and Betsy Feigert. They played at our Christmas assembly. A few of our number looked a wee bit green around the gills after evacuating the Biology lab, the day we dissected an earthworm. fWait till they make mince-meat of a frogl. Revolutionary things are going on in 206. Magazines, radio, and phonograph have been in use. Also, Mr. Rauch and Miss Hueter have taught us not to chatter and not to borrow paper or else. The Girl Reserves have enlisted over 70 Freshmen girls in their ranks. The 'Qlorg Jumpi' was well attended by our feminine foolicers and their dates. The G. A. A. Bunny Club had an unusual entertainment. A chorus composed of Freshman girls showed us a little precision dancingf' Yes, our class has beauty and talent as well as brains. All of our teachers have given us a good start through the Halls of Learning. They have made our Freshman year a new and pleasant experience. We face the future with great hopes for the class of 47.,,
