CLASS OFFICERS Harold Burgnon President Thomas Dowler Vice-President Bernice Christenson Secretary Edwin Hein Treasurer SENIOR CLASS HISTORY Four years ago we entered the portals of our Alma Mater for the first time. ™We were proud of ourselves — but w ere doomed to bitter disappointment w hen the first class- men viewed us. We were not even considered; w ere nobodies; just Freshies. The thought angered us. We vowed that w e w ould show them the stuff w e were made of. We ac- complished no more, hov ever, than to elect class officers. Our next step placed us a rung higher on the ladder of learning. We were then Sophomores. Now we thought our time had come. But once more we found that we amounted to little in the eyes of the Seniors. We were merely being tolerated, because the upper classmen were just becoming used to us. Another step higher and we were given the dignified title of Juniors. Our reputa- tion was now increased and w e w ere on good terms with the class above us. They let us venture into several of their enterprises. We were getting along famously, and several of our members had been in school plays and served our cause well. We attempted a junior- Senior Prom, but due to unforseen obstacles this was abandoned. It seemed a century until the next rung was reached. 18
