 enteral into the spirit of high school life enthusiastically—joining new clubs, making new friends, meeting new teachers and participating in all extra-curricular activities possible. Maybe we even overdid it just a little. The most popular and active club we aspired to join was the Red Pepper C lub sponsored by Miss Ane Marie Petersen, who was also our freshman class adviser. A whole new world had opened up for us. To us the war was far, far away. We little dreamed of the great elfect it would have on our later lives. To guide us through our first year we chose as class officers: Bob Parker, president; Pat McCampItell. vice president; Annette Pipta, secretary; and Joe Pustek, treasurer. Our second year of high school was very much like the first. This year we moved into the senior high school leaving behind many pleasant memories. Probably the most important event of the year was the ordering of class rings, which we hoped, vainly, we would receive the following year. We were already dreaming and planning for the Prom that was to come in our junior year for which we could hardly wait. Our sophomore class officers were Ernie Rorosi. president; Naomi Wilson, vice president; Norman Pulliam, secretary; and George Zajac. treas urer. Miss Ruth Nelson became our class adviser.
