AND TODAY BECOMES YESTERDAY September T948-Freshmen arrive wide-eyed and full of anticipation to begin their high school life. Sophomores assume that grown-up air deceiving only to the freshmen. Juniors become organized and begin plans for exciting events including the biggest of all-the Prom. By this time, seniors are knee-deep in activities. Football heroes, Student Council offi- cers, Library Club members, Girls' and Boys' Leagues strive to make their last year the best, and to leave behind them memories of a fine class, both to the school and for their own personal satisfaction. Plans for a yearbook that will record the progress made in 1949, and make these memories more lasting, are under way. A curly-haired mascot is created by art editor Kyle Peterson to take the blame for mistakes of the inexperienced editors, picture failures, and budget problems. This little fellow, Sure 'Nuff, becomes fascinated by Murray's many sports and activities, participating actively in certain organiza- tions and silently observing the rest from his post in the window of the iournalism office. But nobody notices him as he watches the months begin to roll by, full of now past pleasures and events, which Sure 'Nuff discovers go with the home- work and extra responsibilities of activities to make school the place where character is formed and per- sonalities improved and well-rounded. He sees great progress made in what pupils fondly call student government under the president, Charles Grose. He witnesses the formation of a new Hi-Y, the Como Park Chapter, and sees the two chapters recognized as organizations of the school. When the seniors pay their visit to Golling's, Sure 'Nuff dons his best T-shirt and goes along. Page sixteen Convinced that his proofs do not do him iustice, he insists upon retakes as do most of the other seniors. Sure 'Nuff particularly loves dress rehearsals and makes a great deal of noise with his fireworks as sound-effects man for the Senior Class Play, You Can't Take It With You. He can't be kept away from the auditorium as the choir practices its operetta, The Chimes of Normandy, and serves faithfully on the makeup committee. One day, while browsing through confidential matters of the PILOT staff, Sure 'Nuff discovers that some of his pals are being sent to have their pic- tures taken in strange costumes. Sure 'Nuff con- ceals himself in the pocket of Don Harvey who he learns is posing as a pioneer with Marlene Steph- ens to depict the theme, Yesterday and Today , with Mary Sue Krebs representing the present, look- ing down at them. Each section is to be introduced by a student of today looking back on the pupil of yesterday. On the faculty and class page, Kenneth Larson witnesses Ralph Engebretson preparing to discipline seventh grader Gladys Smith in the man- ner common in the log school house. Gordon Lind- gren and Richard Swanson would make stiFf com- petition for any team as observed by John David- son. Mary Ellen Hoagland sees Denis Bakke and Mary Higgins as the sedate couple of a nineteenth century school would appear. Now today, Senior Day, is here and The PILOT is yours to enjoy in this present and to keep for another day when time has continued its march of progress of events.
