And how did you feel when one came forward from that sea of unknown faces and told you his name, offering to introduce you to some of your fellow students. Or perhaps no one did come up and you were left to meet everyone else as best you could. A welcome committee has been elected by the senior homeroom composed of two boys and two girls whose job it is to introduce new seniors to their classmates and make them feel welcome. This is an example which we believe the other classes would do well to follow, since hardly a week goes by without at least one new person entering Yo-HI. By making an honest effort to welcome these new people, we can boost the reputation of our school. Don't neglect the newcomers! C B JUNIOR ---- NEWS At present we juniors are feeling very proud of ourselves, since after two years of high school we are finally upperclassmen. Particularly did we feel so during initiation week when the freshmen were obliged to pay their due respect. It's our opinion that Shirley O'Hanlon and Jo Ann Olsen do a good job of representing the spirit of the Junior class in helping lead the cheers. |

Class offices are now filled by the following capable
persons: President, Tom Holcombe: First vice -president, Roland Moss; Second
Vice-President; Bill Edwards; and secretary, Shirley O'Hanlon. In Mrs. Gray's
homeroom, Diane Latham has taken over as president, Bill Everett as vice-president, and
Loretta Bradford as secretary. In Mrs. Price's home room, Brucie Watts has been made
president, Jean Schanze is vice-president, and Jo Ann Olsen as secretary. Jean Schanze gives the juniors the distinction of being the only class with a student who has been back to the States and returned. H P SOPHOMORE-----NEWS Now that another school year has rolled around, the first important matter that confronted us was our election of officer. The results were as follows: President, Bud Halsey; first vice-president, Darleen Whitaker; second vice-president, Jane McNeil and secretary, Jennifer Chazel. In Mrs. Galls's homeroom, Alwyn Larkin was elected president; Bucky Hayward first vice-president; Jennifer Chazel, second vice-president and Kitty Fox as secretary. Rita Johneschild was chosen as the Neet-Nac representative. Mrs. Rees's homeroom selected Walton Rawls as president; Pat Meyer as first vice-president; Darlene Whitabker is second vice-president, and Jane McNeil is secretary. It is understood that a bang-up party was held by a certain sophomore, namely Kitty Fox. From what I've heard, it sounds like everyone had a "good time". Among the guests were Walton Rawls, Kevin O'Marah, and Bucky Hayward, who, it is rumored were the life of the party. N H FRESHMAN ---- NEWS Whew! Initiation Week is over at last and now the freshmen can breathe safely. It surely is wonderful not to have to sneak in the building and hide behind doors trying to dodge the upperclassmen. Now we can settle down and begin to enjoy life at Yo-Hi. But all kidding aside, I think we freshmen enjoyed it all every bit as much as the juniors and seniors. Class officers are as follows: Peter O'Connell, president; Gordon Shanks, vice-president; Venna Shields, secretary; Yvonne Ratliff, Neet-Nac representative and Jack Peralta, Neet-Nac representative. |

SPORTS Yokohama High's fighting Red Devils marched to their second straight football victory 13-6 at the expense of Camp Coe, 28 October at Lou Gerhig Stadium. Getting their powerful offense started early, the high school scored in the first few minutes of play with a pass from Bill Wollenberg to Lew Dacus. Bill Everett kicked for the extra point. In the second period Virgil Kuykendall passed to Dick Berstrom down to the Red Devil's one yard line where Tom Holcombe crashed over. Camp Coe scored after a sustained drive in the third quarter, but for the rest of the game the YHS line, led by Herb Dimon, stiffened and denied the Blue ball carriers any ground. R M INTRA-MURAL BASKETBALL On October 15, the first intra-mural game of girls basketball ever played in Yo-Hi, the Senior "Swishes" played against the Freshmen "Freshies" led by their captain, Shirley Wilson.

In the next two games, the seniors and juniors clashed amid much rooting from the spectators. The juniors lived up to their name and racked up a score of 21 against the seniors' 13.

CHEMISTRY VISIT They were next conducted through the welding ship where another instructor, Mr. Riggins, explained the many process employed there. Each student, protected by goggles, was able to observe all phases closely. Following the tours the students were taken to the school's mess hall here they were served cake and cokes. The beautifully decorated cake was baked especially for this occasion. W H PAT'S CHATS So you want to know your fellow students (and I use the word loosely) better? Hmm? This column is going to tell you about some of them. I enjoy the way I was asked to write this column. The editor came up to me and said, "Write up one of the foremost characters in school." I hunted around and came with this. He may not be foremost be he certainly is a character. His name is William F Wollenberg and it is rumored that some of the girls have been calling him "Dimples". He is 17 years old, senior class president, plays football, basketball, and around. Wally was born in Hartford, Connecticut and was living in Farmington, Connecticut before he came to Japan. His favorite food is steak, favorite sport is football, and favorite subject is women. Wally is 5' 7" tall, has brown eyes, and one of the "Shmoo" look hairdos, (crew cut). That seems to cover Wally. Next time we shall blanket (wet or otherwise) some more seniors. P F Question: What do we mean by "aesthetics"? Bill Willis: "That's what you give people having an operation." Question: "What is dry farming?" Larry T: "I don't know, but maybe it's something like dry cleaning". Mrs. Wilson: "What were the military stores at New Brunswick?" Wally Wollenberg: "A and P" |

THE HALLOWEEN PARTY Amid ghosts, pumpkins, and witches there was a very successful Halloween Party at the Neet-Nac Saturday night. The club looked exceptionally attractive with appropriate decorations, a fire in the fire-place, and jack-o-lantern faces covering the light. Hazel Stodter sent some of the decorations from the States. Everyone had clever costumes and all were in the Halloween spirit including Sgt Corry, who was dressed as a baby. The people receiving the prizes were: Betty Westbrook, prettiest, who was dressed as a Roman Lady: Shirley Wilson in a Geisha costume was the best of the girls: the most original was Lorretta Bradford, wearing a dress of playing cards. Larry Thompson, judged the best of the boys was garbed in college pennants: Roland Moss took the honors as the most original of the boys dress as the "artiste" and Danny Dugan, the funniest, was dressed as a girl and caused quite a commotion by fixing his costume in the girl's powder room. After the dance some of the kids went over to Jean Schanze's house. Larry Thompson: "Christmas was a foul day that year." Mrs. Wilson: "So they had turkey for dinner?" SENIORS Ginger Larkin is our second vice-president and Delree Newman, secretary. Carol Browne represents the class of'49 on the student council. Margie Ratterman and Ginger Larkin are on the Neet-Nac Committee for the purpose of stirring up parties. Rings, sweaters, and emblems have been current topics of discussion. The class designed emblems to go on the sweaters. On the class rings there will be inscribed: "Y" "1949" and "Yokohama." They should really be sensational after all the time we spent deciding on the design. C C |
