Sophomores Class History On September 3rd, 1945, thirty-six familiar faces entered the assembly ; this was the introduction to our second year of high school. At our first meeting of the year we elected new officers. Our new president then presided while plans for the initiation of the “Freshies” went under way. The day of torture soon arrived and we felt “mighty big” when the “Frosh” had to unroll the sheets with “Hail Sophmores” inscribed on them. Of course we are proud of all of our class members who are taking part in extra-curricular activities this year. Perhaps the most important undertaking of the year was the production of two plays, “Bobby Sox” and “Jerry Breaks A Date.” They were directed by several practice teachers from La Crosse State Teachers’ College. The spirit of the class was proved when many students tried out for various parts. We are all looking forward to next year and here’s hoping we make energetic Juniors.

Juniors Class History In September 1945, the junior class enrolled with thirty-six members. Although this is a noted decline from the total enrollment of forty-seven in the fall of 1943, our class was still very active in band and extra-curricular affairs around school. Harry Caulum, Earl Carlson, Donald Cassel, Roland Groth and Donald Selbrede were the juniors’ contribution to the basketball team. On October 26, 1945, we entertained the rest of the high school at a hard-time party. The junior class play, “And Came the Spring,” with a cast of seventeen was also presented. This proved to be a highly successful performance. April 27,1946, was the date chosen by us for our prom at which “prom king” Harry Caulum and his “queen” Marcella Hoier reigned. “An Old Dutch Garden” was the theme for the gala event. Here’s looking forward to being “dignified seniors” in ’47. OFFICERS President Vice-president Secretary Treasurer Class Advisor Lillian Fuhre Harry Caulum Joyce Hanson Lois Ann Meyer Mrs. R.

The Sophomores gave us a jolly initiation on September fourteenth. The girls felt very foolish in their patched shorts and aprons; the fellows felt likewise in their long dresses and over-done make-up. We have made a good beginning in high school by taking part in many activities. A one-act play, “His First Girl,” was our first venture in front of footlights and we gained valuable experience from it. January twenty-ninth was the date of our mixer which also was Mr. Kopp’s birthday. On February twenty-second, the “Freshman Movie Hour” was presented during which a variety of sixteen mm. films were shown. Kenneth Diekroeger and Willard Olson are our only class members on the basketball team. However, the class is well represented in other extra-curricular activities. The Class of ’49 moves onward. Good luck! OFFICERS President------ Vice President Secretary ----- Treasurer Class Advisor . Ray Jostad .Kenneth Diekroeger Donna Mae Knudson Donna Mae Tournade Mr. Rowe Page Twelve
