Junior Class History In the fall of 1930, the class of 1941 ex- perienced its first day of school. The whole year was full of thrills and excite- ment under the capable supervision of Miss Sahl. The class began its twelve years of education with thirty-two mem- bers. The following are still in school: Dorothy, Harlan, Russell, Tommy, Curtis, Frances, Merle, Yvonne, Phyllis, Billy, Helen, Joyce, Teddy, Virginia Sumner, Virginia Swenson, Dewey, Randolph, Sheldon, Rueben and Calvin. In the second grade we learned to sing America and to give the pledge of allegiance to the flag. Our teacher was Miss Anderson. This year Virgie came to our class from California, and Ginny left us to join the class ahead. Our third year of school was spent learning of Eskimos and Indians. Miss Goebel also helped us to dramatize sections of our readers. Patty joined our ranks, coming from Minneapolis. Miss Hanson guided us safely through our elementary reading, writing, and 'rithmeticf' The outstanding feature of our fifth and sixth years under Miss Barnes and Miss Stemm respectively, was our art work. We drew maps of Europe, Asia, and Africa. In the seventh grade, we made our first journalistic venture in the form of a small newspaper. We also had the thrill of planning and having our first class party. Miss Selander was our teacher. Miss Bacon, our eighth grade instruc- tor, piloted us through the throes of the seemingly unconquerable Civil War and Lincoln's Gettysburg Address - which most of us can still recite! As green, wide-eyed frosh, we took up the terrible struggle wi'th algebra and Junior Business. Our number was great- ly increased by the incoming country stu- dents, whom we soon came to know and regard as friends. We began our adventures in geometry and Biology as Sophomores with Miss El- letson as our guide. This year Merle, Ribs, Regan, Curtis, Harlan an-d Cal made places for themselves on the basketball team. Virgie received top honors in 'de- clam. Another party was on the Spring calendar and our class thoroughly enjoyed our visit to Minneapolis, too. As Juniors, our thoughts are divided between stenography and chemistry. Ho- bo Day and Homeco-ming were enjoyed by all. Where's My Money, the class play, occupied our time during the fall- that, and football games. Then the basket- ball season arrived and our players again enjoyed their work. Music Contest, J unior- Senior Reception and Commencement fol- lowed-and we say goodbye and wish all luck to the outgoing Seniors.
