SOPHOfllORE CLASS In the fall of 1950 forty-two sophomores, including Eugene Bahr, a transfer from Aquinas, re-entered West Salem High School. Because of their success as freshmen, they were confident that their success would continue throughout the year and the years to come. Since they were a year older and accustomed to the regular routine, the sophomores added many more activities to their curriculum. There were twenty-two sophomores in FHA, and five in FFA. Six sophomores were in the Library Club and six on the ORIOLE staff, with Marilyn Miller as assistant editor. The Pep Club claimed fourteen sophomores, with Reuben Oldenberg as cheerleader; the chorus, eleven; and the band, fifteen, with Barbara Rowe as librarian. Many sophomores were also represented in the Forensic Club. Paul Mengelt was the sophomore representative on the basketball and baseball teams. Fellow class members elected John Betthauser, Paul Mengelt, and Reuben Oldenberg to serve on the Student Council. The sophomores are eagerly awaiting their junior year with the prom and class play as special highlights. We hope the sophomores will continue their spirit of cooperation to make their class outstanding.

JUniOR CLASS In September forty-eight juniors enrolled in West Salem High School and looked forward to an eventful year including the class play, their prom, their rings, and many other school activities. Additional members to this class were Joe Aronson, Robert Bina, Richard Durkin, Carol Meyer, and Kenneth Schmidt. The year of 1950-1951 has seen the juniors contributing a great deal in social and extra-curricular activities. Fourteen juniors were represented in FFA, with several boys holding offices; twenty-four were in FHA; and five in the Library Club, with Angelen Holter as head librarian. The ORIOLE staff claimed six juniors which had Berniece Peterson as circulating manager; and the Pep Club, twenty-one, with Berniece Peterson as vice-president. The band boasted fourteen juniors, withDarryl Bruemmer as vice-president; and the Forensic Club had Ronnie Schild as president. Angelen Holter was selected as associate editor of the NESHONOC. The student body elected Mary Buol as secretary of the Student Council. Ronald Schild, Douglas Jewett, and Harry Meinking were council representatives from the class. The junior representatives on the basketball team were Raymond Vanderploeg, Robert Gilster, Keith Meyer, Kenneth Bangsberg, Joe Aronson, Harry Meinking, and Roger Kolseth. Raymond Vanderploeg, Robert Gilster, Harry Meinking, and Roger Kolseth were also represented on the baseball team. Since these juniors have only one year left, we hope that they may continue with their outstanding ambitions in their final year and graduate with high honors.

Many had puzzled looks on their faces, and others looked timid as they made their way through the corridors the first day, but as the days wore on, they became acquainted and more accustomed to their new life. October 20 was the long-awaited day of initiation. Although the majority of them were a little skeptical about this big event, they showed good sportsmanship, which resulted in their being accepted as part of the high school group. The class of '54 already has shown interest in many extra-curricular activities. Ten members of the class were in chorus; five were in band; and several received positions on the library and ORIOLE staffs. The FHA claimed twenty-one girls; and the FFA, eight boys. Basketball and baseball has attracted many of the boys, and Kenneth Carlson represented his class on the basketball team. Greta Sprick, Beverly Schild, and Kenneth Carlson were elected as freshmen representatives to the Student Council. The beginning record of the class of 1954 promises that they will live up to and try to surpass the classes of past years.
