SENICR CLASS HISTORY September 7, 1942 nine pioneers called Freshmen, set out on a journey of four years to endure all the hardships and enjoy the pleasures of high school. To help in our new experiences of life we chose Miss Jeffries as our guide Qclass advisorjg Erwin Putnam as driver Cpresidentjg Dona Melvin as assistant driver Cvice-presidentlg and Betty Curtis as jill-of-all-trades fsecretary-treasurerl. Melvin Cunningham, Dale Peterson, Dale Leischer, LeRoy Larson, Lester Clark, and Marjorie Cunningham were the other pioneers who also helped the Covered Wagon year roll along. Everything went fine until the third week, when we ran into trouble. The Indians CSophomoresD attacked us for two days, but everyone managed to survive the ' .massacre Clnitiationl. After that, traveling was made pleasant by parties, basketball games, and picnics. One pioneer, Lester Clark, was lost. In the spring when this part j of the journey' was completed, we rested for three months at Vacation, While gathering together in 1943 for a bus ride, it was discovered that two of our passengers--Dale Leischer and LeRoy Larson--had deserted. This left an en- rollment of seven. Because Erwin Putnam had been such a good driver, he was re- elected as chauffeur Cpresidentbg Marjorie Cunningham as footman Cvice-presidentlg and Betty Curtis as-mechanic Csecretaryftreasurerb. Melvin Cunningham, Dale Peterson, Lester Clark, and Dona Melvin were the passengers. P 'i P' 1 ' C During the first week of this trip a stop was made to initiate the Freshmen.
