McEldowney Bojxliamosi i The fall of 194R found the Sophomores playing host to the Frosh in the renowned initiation mixer. They must have remembered that only a short year ago they, too, as Freshmen, had gone through this supreme of all crisis. They must have had other memories too. One of them probably centered on their first play, His First Girl, which was directed by cadet instructors from the Teachers' College. We hope that high school days will give them many happy memories. Several of the class may be seen participating in various activities. The Sophs may well be proud of their three boys on the basketball team. Willie” Olson and Kenneth Diekroeger both play on the first team while Joe Wedin is a member of the promising second team. Representatives of the Student Council are Donna Vruwink, Kenneth Diekroeger, and David Hoff. Rita Ender and Donald Jones were Logan transfers last fall. The Sophomores have not only set a good example for the Freshmen, but they have also earned the respect of the upper class-men. Page Seventeen
