Freshmen % In the glee clubs too, you will find new faces this year for Mary Jo Werner, Mary Lou Mougey, Martha Shaw, Virginia Haman, Alice Wintzei, Onnolee McClintock, Susan Shuler, Mable Myers, Dorothy Bowman, and Bill Hartup all go regularly to the music room when the glee clubs practice. Mary Jo, Susan, Onnolee and Alice were selec;ed from glee club to sing in Blume's choral group. This proves that freshmen do have ability in the vocal department. We wish more powe: to them. They displayed a definite interest in school government by sending a member from each homeroom to sit in on school council meetings the first half of the year. The last half, Jim Kent, Roland Gierhart, Doris Snavely, and Mary Jo Werner, were chosen to represent their homerooms permanently and they have done an excellent job of it. Jim Frazier and Louella Gierhart became substitute cheeleaders and drew a lot of favorable attention with acrobatic yells during the basketball season. First Row— C Mault. C. Maxson. Q. McCIcan. O.
