CANDID SNAPS OF THE SOPHOMORES Norman Rowe • Coleen Flaig Calvin Flag Elien Betthauser Mr. Peterson President Secretary Vice President Treasurer Advisor In 1940, 39 meek little Freshmen walked into the assembly greatly fearing the initiation which was ahead of us. Many of our number learned to dance at the irst mixer, some had to be coaxed but were finally persuaded. This year, 1941 our number has somewhat decreased although we are still the largest class with a total of 38. After the election of class officers, the Sophomores went into a huddle to start making plans for the mixer held for the freshies. It was suggested by the class members to have an orchestra. Bob Norris and his orchestra of La Crosse were decided upon. Many of the class members are in extra curricular activities of the school. SOPHOMORE ( I ASS FIRST ROW- A. Meyer. L. Fuller. E.

During the latter part of October our school held the “Harvest Festival”. Mary Wolter was chosen as candidate of our class for the title of queen. At this time, we also initiated the freshmen. During the day as part of the initiation they were required to kneel down and say “Allah Sophomores” each time they met us. On the fifteenth of September we again enrolled as Juniors. The 31st of January the Juniors gave a mixer at which everyone enjoyed themselves immensely. It was not necessary to go up town afterwards, as plenty of food was served. The night of April 15. 1942. the class play, “That Crazy Smith Family” was held. Plans are now in progress for the Junior Prom. Op to the present date, these are all the activities of an importance.
