Lincoln High School - Lincoln Log Yearbook (Esko, MN)

hun-an-Lf .lunior Class History Twenty-two freshies stood shivering in the halls on that fateful Initiation Day back in '37. What would the sophomores do? Well, we soon found out! They certainly let us know that we were their subordinates! Yes, the initiation was the main event of that year. We had as our pres- ident, Marian Eskog vice-president, Merton Eskog secretary, Frances Dyerg treasurer, Harry Kauppig and reporter, Frances Dyer. These officers managed our class very well throughout the year with the able support of our adviser, Miss Sandstrom. We left school that year with the "I'l1 be in the senior high next year" look on our faces. When the next September rolled around, there was nobody new-nobody gone! Everything was the same except that now we were sophomores. How we planned to initiate those poor fresh- men. And give it to them we did, even though they outnumbered us more than two to one. .We tried something new that year. Instead of being so hard on the poor dears, we had a party in the evening and really got acquainted! As our class officers, we elected William Wainio for Presi- dent, Harold Mostrum, vice-presidentg Frances Dyer, secretary-treasurer, and Ainie Maki, reporter. One of the outstanding features of the year was a skating party in January. This was the first year we were enjoying our own rink on the school grounds. We left school that year looking for- ward to seeing each other again and starting the "almost most important" year of being juniors. Our class enrollment increased to twenty-four in our junior year, but before the year was over the enrollment decreased to twenty-two when Marian and Merton Esko left us. The two new pupils were Helen Peters and John Baisley. This year our able president was William Wainiog vice-president, Harold Mostromg secretary-treasurer, Luella Juntuneng and reporter, Harry Kauppi. We were well advised by Miss Harney and Mr. Ellison. With the junior year came the excitement of rings, pictures, class play, Lincoln Log, and junior-Senior Banquet. Our class play, "The Phan- tom Bells", which was directed by Miss Pederson, was well attended. Everyone agreed that the entire class couldnit have done better. We still have to laugh when we think of poor Shirley Polo shivering in the ghost's den. After' the play came the important job of selecting our rings. The Lincoln Log, which we all enjoyed working on, will bring back pleasant memories in years to come. So again we are leaving dear, old Lincon High for another brief three months and then to come hack to the busy senior year. Looking back through the years, we certainly don't like the idea of leaving our dear school forever--but we,re going to go forth and be a credit to the school, so that everyone can say with pride, 6'That person graduated from Lincoln". eleven HJ: M " ' Q TWT- ' ' J Z 1 """'-r"--M-wpff-if-W--W -if --A- - 1,T..1.,,.,.,,, ,A 'lik
