Class Histor By PAT McisAAc 1943 Freshmen The fall of 1942 finally did roll around and were we happy! Now we could start high school. lt was all very new at first, but gradually it got to be daily routine. With the 88 members of our large class and with Arnie Thompson as president, we tried to make this first year an especially successful one. A good time was had by all at our Freshman Party. Mrs. Olson, our advisor, was largely responsible for this good time. Had it not been for her we wouldn't have known how to do the Broom Dance and everyone remembers how much fun that was. ' 1944 Sophomores This was our second year in high school - we really felt grown up. There were fewer of us this year, our roll call was now 72. David Hedin, who is naw serving in the navy, was our president. One thing l shall never forget which occurred this year was - we defeated Grand Forks in a football game played over there with a score of 12-6. Also I shall never forget how excited we were one morning when we were handed two telegrams. These were our first invitations to the Activities Banquet and Prom, Treasures of Hawaii. Then there was our Sophomore Party under the direction of Miss Stensholt, and there were several campaigns and parades agitating a Can- teen - and finally we got one. We could hardly wait until the next year when we should take over our responsibilities as juniors. 1945 Juniors We didn't even mind this year when September came, we were happy at the thought. of going back to school as juniors. There were only 56 of us now, but George Stewart as president, Ann Mero as vice-president, Lois Egeland as secretary, and Lenore Bateman as treasurer did all in their power to make this an eventful and joyous year. At the middle of the school term, we took over the school newspaper. Betty Hauser and Shirley Hanson did a fine job as co-editors. Our Pirates Den Prom-en-ade and Banquet turned out to be something we shall all remember. How could it have been anything else with Miss Halcrow as our class advisor and Lois Egeland and Arnie Thompson as co - prom managers. One of the most striking events of the year was our success in basketball. We took first place in the district tournament and placed third in the regional at Be- midji. This year was also notable for the Victory in Europe for which we could celebrate and be thankful. School went fast and most of us wanted summer to go as fast so that we might be seniors. 1946 Seniors Finally after all these years of high hopes and hard work we are seniors! Our membership has shrunk to less than half of its original number-forty-two now being eligible for graduation. Barb Jacobs was elected to the presidency. This year we won the District Speech Contest which took place in our school. Four of our students went to the regional contest at Bagley. Instead of the usual three act play, the seniors this year presented three one act plays. One of them, Blackout Canteen Minstrel, was written by one of the seniors, Betty Lou Hauser. The Tri-Y and Hi-Y were organized, and officers of the clubs have had opportunities for out of town trips. We had lots of fun teaching the boys how to waltz, polka, and square dance. We are anxiously waiting for the Rainbow Revelry Prom and Banquet. Last fall we started work earlier on the Memories of '46 so that we might be able to get them by June l. Barbara Jacobs and Lois Egeland as co-editors and Miss Reeves as faculty advisor have put in long hours in getting the annual ready for the printers. During these last few weeks of school we begin to realize that soon we shall be leaving. We recall all the good times we have had here and know we shall miss them, as we shall miss the friends we have made and enjoyed. We can't leave without thinking of you students coming up, and wish you all the good luck and fun that we have had. o7Oo
