Counting all the new faces, we gathered sixty-six students together under the super- vision of our advisor, Mrs. Olson, Miss Sullivan then, and our president-elect, Shirley Osmundson. The annual freshman class party highlighted the year and left us eager to find what the next few years had to offer. SOPHO-M ORE OR LESS As school got under way again we felt a little more at ease and were given a little more consideration by the upper-classmen. Now but sixty-five of us were left. We began to take part in the school activities, besides studying, which we always did. The boys set out to make sure of future football and basketball teams, while the girls backed them up. We took part in the Christmas program, and enjoyed serving the Junior-Senior Ban- quet. With Miss Stensholt as our able advisor we held our Sophomore Class Party, which turned out to be great fun for everyone. Our thoughts then turned to the time when we would be juniors. JUNIOR-LADIES AND GENTLEMEN Juniors at last! This year got under way quickly with our election of class oflicers: Jack Sampson, who is now in the Marines, was president, Joe Massee, vice-presi- dentg Donna Mae Gilbertson, secretary, and Bernice McCullough, treasurer. Miss Halcrow was our class ad- visor and did a lot to make everything a little more exciting. Choosing our class rings made us feel even more important. When the second semester came we tooklover editing the Hi-Ways with Dorothy Harney and Donna Mae Gilbertson as co-editors. Selling candy at all of the games, soliciting orders for scarfs and school pins, and having many school parties, provided us with enough money to put on our prom, Rainbow Revelry. Rainbow Revelry-what a worry and a lot of work-but what a joy when it was given! With every- one's help it became a huge success, and was voted, by the juniors, as the best prom ever held. Five of our sixty-five members now had left us, but the sixty re- maining students carried on in good faith. During the year there was much competition for a coveted place on the list of class marshals, but eventually the list was se- lected and Joe Massee, Jack Sampson, Elmer O. Eid, Clif- ford Mesedahl, Donna Mae Gilbertson, Alice Schmaltz, Joyce Bridgeford, and Donna Young very proudly led the Senior Processional and Recessional at the Gradua- tion Exercises. We were all a little sad to think the year had passed so quickly, but we all looked forward to being Seniors next year. SENIOR SOPHISTICATES At last we are seniors! But forty-nine of our original sixty-six are left! We are fast learning what it means to be seniors with Miss Reeves, as senior class advisor, to guide us. Our class play, A Date With Judy, was given early this year. We had a lot of .fun giving it, still it was hard work, but we were glad to put our best into it. Being invited by the juniors, as guests of honor, to the Northern Lights Prom and Banquet was a happy experience to remember. A number of our Seniors brought notice to our class by taking part in the Decla- mation Contest, while others made a good showing in Tri-Y, G.A.A., Hi-Y, Band, Chorus, Glee Club and in their academic subjects. What class ever had a triple trio equal to ours, or had basketball and football stars such as we had! Getting the annual ready for publication made us feel that we really were accomplishing some- thing. Again, we strove for the best-co-editors, artists and Miss Reeves worked long hours to get our annual out on time and to produce a really good yearbook. Final exams, the looked-for Senior picnic, and graduation draws nearer. As we approach these closing days we remember all the wonderful times school has brought us, and we really don't wish to give them up. We wish we could live them over, but then we refiect and remem- ber that we still have much to look forward to and that there is a happy future As Time Goes By. CLASS PROPHECY This information has been compiled and composed daily for three solid weeks in the vacant upper story of, yours truly, Bernice McCullough. Any resemblance to future happenings is purely intentional. I traveled far, I traveled near For information you're soon to hear. Thought it may sound a little queer It's not so bad as it may appear. For one thing, Phyllis Hodge is married, Yes, she's settled down at last, Across the threshold she was carried, Farewell to freedom of the past. .74.
