Stars In September, 1947, came the biggest day of our lives, we were Fresh- men and as green as could be. We had all new surroundings and a lot of new classmates from the other schools to meet. Soon came the day when there were little slips of paper going around with something written on them. We thought it funny that we were the only class to get them, but later on we found out that it was time for initiation. This was very interesting and fright- ening for us, but the rest of the upperclassmen sure got a thrill out of it. We ended a very successful year which was led by Richard Dunn, President, Sam Antonian, Vice-President, Hobert Helton, Secretary and Treasurer, Bernard Mueller and Firman Walker, Senators. Now that we were Sophomores we lost the name of “greenies.” After school had been in full swing for a month we thought we would like to order our class sweaters, so the salesman came and we picked out the sweaters we wanted. The color was another thing which we had some debate about, but finally decided on black and gold. Since we were Sophomores we had initiation to take care of. Although it was a hard job it was a success and everyone enjoyed it, even those who worked the hardest. We had a success- ful and prosperous year with these officers: Firman Walker, President, Henry Ganzeveld, Vice-President, Raymond Lee, Secretary and Treasurer, Bernard Mueller and Betty Stepp, Senators. We started our Junior year with a bang and with the question, “What kind of rings do we want and what kind of play shall we have? We finally made the decisions and ordered our rings and chose a class play, “Tumblin’ Creek”, which was given April 17th and 18th. As our sponsor we had Mr. Shreve. This year we were led by Firman Walker, President, Melvin Zeiters, Vice-President, Raymond Lee, Secretary, James Poisel, Treasurer, Bernard Mueller and Dale Bailey, Senators. The big day came and we were the so-called “sophisticated Seniors”. It was a busy year for all of us, so we began by electing Firman Walker, President, Raymond Lee, Vice-President, Robert Jones, Secretary, James Poisel, Treasurer, Bernard Mueller and Sam Antonian, Senators. We chose for our play, “A Close Shave”, which was given tw o nights. The day we received our Senior pictures there was a rush of exchanging, because every- one wanted a picture of everyone else. We were kept so busy with all our activities that graduation was there before we realized. Commencement was held May 15, at 8:30 P.M., when each Senior received his diploma. Thus, the graduates of 1951 passed from the doors of Wheatfield High School. 7
