Twenty-three of these youngsters assembled on the south side of the assembly and so the class of '52 was organized. We chose as our offi- cers for our Freshman year: Nancy Scholstrate, President: Ruth Stoller, Vice-President: and Donna Lampe, Secretary and Treasurer. In October a hilarious initiation party was given for us by the Seniors which was held at the Yerks homestead. The climax of the evening was sorting our shoes which had obtained a peculiar odor. Our activities consisted of an enjoy- able party held during Christmas at the gymnasium and selling pop at ball games. During the course of the year we lost Dale Armbruster and Marilyn Travis but happily gained Bonnie Ruble. As we began our next year as Sophomores, we discovered to our surprise that we had lost :Velma Voirel and Wanda Sweet but to our delight gained Phil Harris. Later we lost Paul Delagrange leaving us twenty in number. Arlene Scheiwe, President: Jim Hauke, Vice-Presi- dent, and Sandra Roemke Secretary and Treasurer, were selected as our officers. Our first party of the year was held at the club house with folk games and refreshments being taken in by all. It was a very exciting day when we were given permission to give the first Sophomore play ever presented. Mrs. Wetter consented to direct it and the play picked was Grandma's Best Years presented by a cast of sixteen characters. After the second performance we all gathered at Jim Hauke's for a wonderful climax to the excitement. While practicing for the play we composed a poem book which was contributed to the school. We lost Bonnie Ruble in our Junior year but there were still nineteen ambitious young- sters who assembled and elected as officers: Nancy Gatewood, Presidentg Jim Hauke, Vice- Presidentg Barbara Voorhies, Secretary and Treasurer and Larry Eby, Reporter. We re- ceived our sweaters in October and sold an assortment of cards. November brought us our rings and our play, Springtime for Susie, was given. The cast consisted of fifteen charac- ters. Mrs. Wilma Wetter, our director, entertained us at her house following the play. The magazine campaign was brought to a climax with Cletus Miller and Arlene Scheiwe receiving Oscars, and the latter a watch also for being high salesman. In April a formal banquet was held in honor of the Seniors, the theme being Hawaiian. Once again we find ourselves at the threshold of a new school year with nineteen Seniors but during the progress of the year we lost Nancy Gatewood and Tom Orthmann. Jim Hauke was elected President with Leroy Wiesehan and Nancy Scholstrate Vice-President and Secre- tary and Treasurer, respectively. Eleven girls vigorously campaigned to be Queen of Wood- burn Days. The anxiety was ended when'Sandra Roemke was crowned. The Woodburn Park was the scene of the boisterous initiation party in honor of the group called Freshmen. Who could forget all those sore brown noses? To assist our financial condition we had bake sales, paper drives, and last of all, a play. Eleven actors filled the parts in the comedy-mystery, Aunt Susie Shoots The Works, directed by Mrs. Wilma Wetter. Leroy Wiesehan, the high ticket salesman, walked away with a prize for selling sixty tickets. A get together' was held at Arlene S.cheiwe's following the play. A number of sleepless slumber parties were held by the girls. The Juniors held a Dutch Banquet in our honor which was enjoyed by all, Dur- ing the remainder of the year everyone was hustling about to expedite work on The Arrow. The five day trip to Washington, D. C. and New York City was anxiously looked forward to by all. The beautiful and memorable Baccalaureate and Comrnemcement Services were held May ll and l6, respectively. Music was furnished by the Woodburn Band, Junior School Choir and the High School Chorus. Reverend Schulenberg and Reverend Schmidt officiated. A very impressive address was given by Mr. Joseph Tucker. Our colors, blue and white, and our flower, a red and white cornation, are treasured symbols: however, our motto, Within Our- selves Our Future Lies, shall longer be remembered because it determines our distination on the road to success.
