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

Simultaneously the war-whoop, Frosh, thundered through the halls, and the ever unrelentless upper classmen swooped in for the kill, or so thought those who bore the brunt of all the merrymaking. It was an eventful month packed with new acquaintances, new books, and new experiences. Initiation day, October 25, found the class feeling rather silly. Girls in shorts, men's shirts, and aprons worn backwards graced the classrooms; boys illustrated the correct attire by donning nightgowns, overshoes, earrings, and an ample supply of perfumed make-up. Dolls added a smart touch. When baseball season rolled around, William Carlson, Marshall Graff, John Hougen, Jerry Kopp, Allen Waiters, Jerry Wehrenberg, and Ronald Wehrs were active participants. William Schomberg volunteered to work on the news staff in addition to representing the Freshmen, along with Elizabeth Haaland and Carol Wehrs, on the Student Council. Many girls belong to the F. H. A while the boys have formed a club similar to the F. F. A., the Freshmen Cubs. The class is well represented in Band and Glee Club. The class of 1950 has made a good beginning. Page Eighteen
