Sandholm His classes are made more inter- esting by jokes as only Mr. Sandholm can tell them. Those senior Econ. classes will never be forgotten. Remember the Park Building with all its disturbances Miss Gladys Scharnweber She drills and drills her com- mercial students until they become excellent typists and shorthand artists. She even furnishes music for them much to the delight of neighboring students. Mr. John Schaffnit Another ex-service man we welcome back into our science department. Many lost chemis- try students have been made to see the light through his teaching. That look of his is intriguing,isn't it? Miss Agnes Sparks Her smile is her trademark whenever you see her. She is always willing to help,and she has the unique ability of helping us understand things clearly. The sophomore class has been greatly aided by her guidance. Mr. Charles B. Vaughn WArkyW That language all his own and his attractive clothes will always distinguish him. Social science and history keep him occupied. Too, he helps our tennis team win victories for our school. Mrs. Elizabeth R. Vining Her original idea of no home- work on week-ends was one of our favorites. So was she. We learned from her,in spite of ourselves,and sometimes math even seemed easy. She is co-advisor of Y-Teen. Miss Marian Werner Physical education for girls and supervising G.A.A. are her main duties. She is res- ponsible for helping the girls develop an interest in a variety of sports. Her friendliness has won ad- miration for her among all the students. Mrs. Vining Miss Werner Nix

Here is gathered for the first time the class of 1947. They hear those unforget- table, unseemingly impossible words, 'It won't be long before you will be walking across this platform and receiving your diploma. We then all thought that occasion would be four long years of hard work mixed in with fun. As green freshmen we established our reputation under the leadership of Stan Hyde, .Toy Carlson, and Merthann Black. We weren't fooled by the senior's advice to use the elevators By the time we had gotten used to the 100 yd. dash to tance passes, and the uppity attitude of the upperclas men on our second year of learning. An outstanding reception, floor show, was given for our successors, the new freshmen is lunch, admit- we were well immhma . Dick Gilbert Frank Colder, Jean Decker, and Dortheann Zarbock were our officers for the year. All of us suffered from stage fright in speech classes and gloated at the people in the lest row of the geometry class. With hill- Page 14
