Sophomore Class llffioors by NORALIE BOYLES Left to right: Robert Medeizrir, trearurerf Keith Iemen, vice-preridenn Billie Payton, secretary Steve Mermigir, preoifienfg Mr. Letter C. Ramrey, rpomor Having the distinction of being the largest class at XVyandotte, the 585 sophomores have lived up to all ex- pectations of being an outstanding class. The larger part of the class was under the handicap of being new to the building, coming from Northwest and Central Junior Highs. It didn't take them long, however, with the help of their sponsor, Mr. Ramsey, to get into the full swing of things. In the early part of the winter they worked with the Student Council and sponsored a mixer. Later on in the year they had an assembly and enjoyed the talents of their own classmates. After completing a successful year they feel that they are entitled to shake off the title of 'lunderclassmen,' and take up the duties of the upper- classmenf' freshman Class llffioors Left to right: Gary Bruce, vice-preriiientg Donmz Fromm, Jecfezaryg Edimril Biiiingr, zreariireig' Richard Meyery, preriiieiizfy Misr Molex, rpomoi' This year's freshman class, sponsored by Miss Moles, has been one of the most active in the history of Wyantiotte. It has been the custom through the years for underclassmen to be confused and bewildered upon entering the large, strange building in the fall, but not these freshmen. The first thing on their agenda was a trip from stem to stern through the building. Not long after that they had a dance for freshmen onlyl' that turned out to be quite a success. As if all this in the fall weren't enough, they con- Ptzge F oimeefi tinued their activities through the winter by means of a pep club with cheerleaders of their own, and turned out in full strength for the frosh basketball games. In the early spring they made up an assembly using their own talent in all its varied forms. Probably the most surprising thing about the class of '51 is that all this has been done by the smallest class, being only 230 strong. With all their pep and vitality they give promise of being an outstanding class in their three remaining years in the halls of Wyandone.

Junior Class llfiieers by SHIRLEY Ruouiis This year, the 580 members of the Junior class took time out from the busi- ness of being upperclassmen to present the three-act comedy play We Shook the Family Treef' Under the guidance of their sponsor, Mr. David Gray, the busy juniors brought the year's round of activities to a close by honoring the seniors at the an- nual Junior-Senior Prom. Next year's seniors are now eagerly awaiting the day when they will take over the reins of school leadership. Left to right: Mr. Gray, Jponmr, Alyce Walker, treararerg Genevieve Kraper, recre- tary,' Carl Ambler, preridentf Don Kraft, vice- president. We Shook the Famil Tree The play chosen for presentation by the Junior class this year was an hilarious, three-act comedy entitled We Shook the Family Tree. This fast moving story that kept the audience in stitches dealt with the problems of teen-age Hildegarde, who was tired of being a wallflower and in her efforts to change her status on the date parade caused near panic throughout the neighborhood. Although her inten- tions were good Hildegarde's every act seemed to complicate matters further. Freddie CShort Pantsj Shermer, his dra- matic mother, and Hildegardeis inimitable family added to the hilarity. Altogether the play was full of unforgetable moments. Director William Knapp, all the members of the cast and those connected with the production of We Shook the Family Tree are to be congratulated.
