Class History Freshy Froshes: High school at last, and were we proudl Our president, James Stewart, vice-president, Jack Potter, secretary, Gloria Anderson, and treasurer, Charles Larson, did all in their power to make our class a success. This bright year of l942 we took the city freshman basketball championship, and our Freshy Froshes helped to cheer our Green Wave to second place at the Regional at Fosston, losing in an overtime to Bagley by one point. We really had a large class - 74 members. That year the boys began to dance and were frequently found strug- gling on the floor. Never give up was their motto. Sophisticated Sophomores: Our second year-we felt a little, more welcome and weren't treated like a crowd of sassy youngsters. Bill Vornholt, who is now serving in the Navy, was our president. Our numbers were this year reduced to 65, but still we managed to make ourselves heard and seen around the hall and classrooms. The annual sophomore party was given in the fall. This was climaxed by a skit put on by Charles Larson, Gloria Anderson, Eldon Olson, Roy Surprenant and Morna Nokelby. Another high point of that year was the Sack Dance put on at the Jeep Drive. Morna Nokelby and Gloria Anderson, underthe supervision of Miss Stens- holt, created this extravaganza. This was the first year we were invited to the Prom. Jounty Juniors: How things piled up this year! But with Bob McGarry as our president we still managed quite well, even though our numbers had shrunk to 55. The newspaper was completely in our hands, and, with Bev Stuhr and Doris Palya as co-editors, we planned to put before the school one of the best papers ever published -and we did. And can we ever forget that year - how Bob McGarry's touchdown made the East Side victor over Grand Forks with a score of I2-6. That year Uncle Sam had the great privilege of receiving three of our boys for his Navy. Al Don Stavig, Harold Johnson and Robert Lee left us to serve our country-we're really proud of those boys. Everyone was enthusiastic over the Wave Canteen opening, and still more thrilled with our Activities Banquet and Prom, Treasures of Hawaii. We had a perfect semester of basketball and we mustn't forget track - and Stew's taking part in the state meet in Minneapolis. Soon it was time to put our books away until fall and to look for- ward to an exciting senior year. Super Seniors: Here we are, seniors at lastl What a year it's going to bell There are now but 43 of us left. This year, for the first time in the history of our school, a yearbook will be published and it's our great honor to be doing it. Basketball was the highlight of this year. We took first place in the District -1- having the honor of not losing a game in the district. We also placed third in the regional at Bemidji. The Pirate's Den Prom-e-nade and Banquet were also thrill pro- voking events, nor shall we forget such good times as we had at the Sadie Hawkins dance, the hard-time dance, and the sock dance. Our senior play, Our Town, must not be left out, for here we seniors really had to show what we could do without the help of stage scenery or furniture. Our thoughts now travel on toward the closing days - baccalaureate and com- mencement - but there are two boys who won't be with us, Norman Anderson who is serv- ing in the U. S. Army, and Charles Larson, who is with the U. S. Navy. We've really had a wonderful time here at East Side High and we'll miss it all dearly. But lotsa luck to you all from the seniors of l945. .
