JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY Every class approaches the web as frightened-to-death little freshmen, and we weren't any different. But after the first week it wasn't so bad at allg it was even fun. We became acquainted with the other students, the teachers, and the ways of high school life, which were so different from Five of our boys were awarded letters, proving we were our grade school days. And in the instances when we did dig ourselves in too deep, there were always our advisers, Mrs. Evans and Mr. Martin to lend a helping hand. Assisting our class officers, Elizabeth Novak, John Woodruff, and Irene beyer, to preside over our meetings was one of their biggest tasks that year. ' Debate, G.A.A., and the Library Club-were soon tackled by the ambitious members of the class. In athletics we had Virgil Lund, Bill Mickle, Rolland House, Tommy Hellesto, and Pete Steen trying their ability on the football field. To begin our sophomore year we gave a dance for ,the froshg hoping that it wouldn't turn out the same as the one we had given the year before when no one came. We need not have worried--it was quite a party!

November, 1951, and 'were we busy. There were a Friday night mixer to sponsor in an ceffort to obtain enough money to finance our much anticipated play and prom. Whether or not we would reach our goal troubled us for a while, but with our usual vim and vigor we finally did it. The HHickory Stickn, a comedy concerning the trials and tribulations of a high school students life, was the title of our highly successful play directed by Mrs. Evans. We used a fact that the orchestra cost that every one Mexican theme for the prom, and despite the programs almost didn't get printed and the more than we could really afford, we think who attended had a really good time. In the three years since we entered high school as frightened little freshmen we have, we believe, grown up, both in stature and in mind, and are looking forward with confidence, to nineteen-hundred and fifty three. --.27 --3-W., Q 3 4 i 1 l i i 4 i 1 4 4 I J i 3 -und

SOPHOMORE CLASS HISTORY We have been in High School only two years, but already the spider has managed to spin his web tightly around us. In addition to reading, writing, and arithmetic we have also entered enthusiastically into Debate, Polka Dot Revue, ath- letics, in fact anything we could do, we did. Leading us into the web that first year were Warren Yeend, Charles Ingraham, Ruth Armstrong, and Eleanor Plan- cich. Mr. Lane did the advising. Outstanding in athletics that year was Bob Elmore, earning his varsity'.letter in not one, but three of the major sports, football, basketball, and baseball. And just to prove how really versatile our class was Dennis Putney and Mary Jo Wolverton turned out for, and were awarded their letters in tennis, while Charles Ingraham made the grade in golf. Our fresh basketball team, coached by Mr. Childs, only won one game, but nevertheless they certainly learned a great deal about the fundamentals of basketball, and did have a lot of fun. This included getting lost on the way to Tolt. Forward, Center, Guard--get together hit 'em hard! Cheering us on at all the games were the freshmen yell lead- ersg Shirley Raab, Barbara Jolly, and Pat Kaye. We may have been only freshmen, but we were still very much interested in the governmental aspects of the school. To keep us abreast of what was going on we had two repre- sentatives in the student council, Malcolm Steen and Lois Johnson. September, l9SO, and once again we were back at school. This time not as lowly freshmen, but as up and coming sopho- mores. , Fall and football being synonomous, Bob Elmore, Dave Hiatt, Bob Hineman, and Dennis Putney could be found almost any night after school battling it out on the gridiron. J That our class had beauty as well as brawn was effec- tively proven by Shirley Winge, our lovely princess in the Homecoming Court. ' The Honor Society was increased this year oy l2 of our more studious class members. Thus you cxn readily see that here is a class abounding in beauty, brawn, ard-brains.
