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.

Sixty-one girls were enrolled in the chapter which met the first Monday of each month. In June, 1950, six girls attended the state convention at Green Lake. At this convention, Mary Buol was elected state vice-president of District Three. Other girls represented at the convention were Betsy Eckert, Marilyn Slosser, and Mary Knutson, who played a flute trio; and Mimi Eckert and Catherine Nuttelman, previous state officer and delegate, respectively. One of the highlights of the fall activities was the district rally at Holmen in October. Eighteen girls, the Chapter Mother, and Miss Ruth Johnson attended the rally. At this rally, Marilyn Miller, Marilyn Slosser, Betsy Eckert, and Elaine Meier gave a skit explaining the degrees of achievement. During FHA Week, November twelfth to the eighteenth, the chapter carried out various plans to advertise its organization. The outstanding events were the FFA-FHA banquet, the all-school tea, and the assembly program, in which the girls explained the history and meaning of FHA. On Sunday roses were placed in all the churches, and during the entire week there was a clothing display in a store window downtown. Cooperating with the FFA, the chapter sponsored the annual Christmas mixer in December and the third annual Coulee Region Harvest Festival. In January, twenty-two girls were initiated into the FHA at a candlelight ceremony. Other activities included a Mother-Daughter Banquet, and a style revue in the spring. President . .
