Senior Class History The histories of the preceeding pages are personal histories,-but yet there is to be recorded the history of the Senior Class as a whole. We began our first year in the Augusta High School 11949, with an enrollment of ten students. Nine members of the class were boys. Dur- ing our Freshman year we were active in glee club, social events, and athletics. We began our second year by' giving the Freshmenan initiation party. In this year we were sorry to say good-bye to two of our classmates, Ann Bundenthal, moving- to St. Louis, and Glwnnon Gravemann, who sought employment in the International Shoe Company in Washington, Missouri. During our Junior year at A, H. S. we had but one goal in mind, presenting the Seniors with a banquet. We raisedmoney for this event by giving a play entitled, Aaron Slick From Punkin Crick, and giv- ing a box supper for the high school. The. Senior Class of 1933 was proud to play a small part in helping dedicate the new auditorium on February 14, 1953. Three of the Senior Class members began the ir education in the Augusta Grade School twelve years ago and will be the first to graduate in the new addition, they are: Elvin Osthoff, Omar Mallinckrodt, and Earl Mallinckrodt. This year, also, there has been a lot of work getting the yearbook ready for publication. We chose Omar Fischer as Editor-in-Chief and Robert Knoernschild as Assistant Editor. We are very proud of our Memoria and we hope it will be one of the best ever published.
