They soon got back into the whirl of things, and their first activity of the year was the initiation of the Frosh. In eager anticipation they awaited the event which they had dreaded so much but a year ago. The activities, begun as freshmen, were continued now. In all the school's organizations representatives from this class were to be found. Proving that a number in their class were athletic minded, Jerry Wehrenberg, Jerry Kopp, Richard Ender, and John Hougen made the baseball team; while Marshall Graff, Jerry Wehrenberg, and Billy Carlson were on the basketball team. Among the musically inclined of the sophomore class were Betty Ender, Carol Rhodes, Caroline Caulum, Wilfred Pralle, Ardith Sprain, and Carol Wehrs who participated in the band. Many of these people, in addition to others, were also in the chorus. In the cheerleading department the class was represented by Gene Ender. This year has been a year of give and take. Success will surely be theirs as upper classmen, for they have learned well the lessons high school has taught them.

Junior Class In September, 1945, thirty green, shy freshmen wandered into the study hall. After the girls paraded in patched shorts and aprons and the boys in long dresses and lots of make-up, officially they became members of the student body. During their Sophomore year they ventured before the footlights to present a one act play, His First Girl. In early fall of this year their talented class members gave another successful performance, A Date With Judy. On every extra-curricular activity membership roll some of their names appeared. Willard Olson and Ken Kiekroeger were on the basketball squad; Jerry Metzger was manager for the team. Bonnie McEldowney has served as cheerleader for her second year. Donna Jean Vruwink, Ken Diekroeger, Joyce Rhodes, Delores Plenge, Dave Hoff, and Joe Wedin represented their class in the senior band. Donna Jean Vruwink was also associate editor of the '48 Neshonoc. This class is looking forward to giving the 1948 spring prom and to becoming the dignified seniors of '49.

Although they were untaught in the complicated ways and customs of high school, they were willing to learn. They were even a little more frightened. Of course. Freshmen always are; we, too, as Freshmen were frightened. In a comparatively short space of time they became adjusted and learned much; they became a definite part of West Salem High School. Yet, they dreaded one thing, the day (and evening) of Sophomore retribution for the wrongs of the previous year. However, initiation came and went, and they managed to live through it. Incidentally, they all came dressed as either Daisy Mae or LiT Abner, the Cream O' Wheat twosome. As soon as they became settled in their new role, they became engrossed in extracurricular activities. Musical talents found outlet in the band and chorus. Future farmers and homemakers of this region joined the FFA and FHA. Sports attracted not a few. Journalistic talents found a place on the ORIOLE staff. The Freshmen have learned much, and a big part of their education has been in their outside activities. May your auspicious beginnings and bright hopes materialize into an illustrious future for you, the class of '51.
