 tZTZT. JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY In the fall of ’39 the Meadow Grove Recruiting Station was packed with twenty-four new recruits as they were volunteering for service in the declared war for the cause of higher education. Before engaging in battle a unified command was establshed as follows: Commander-in-Chief, Jeanette Kinne; Chief of Staff, Dean Mon-son; Secretary of War, Darlene Becker; Treasurer, Patricia Werner. Mr. Warner was the commanding officer. During engagement in the first encounter we captured a strategic point of higher learning with only two casualties—Darlene Becker who moved to Plainview and Donald Collins, a prisoner of war. However two new recruits joined our division which made up for the loss. These were Janice White of Niobrara and Evelyn Wilson, of Iowa, two able soldiers. With these statistics, which prove a troup decidely united and able, our first year of battle was proclaimed wholly victorious. After an interval during which our brave soldiers received a needed rest our division was reassembled. We had, however, lost another able soldier, Anne Halsey, during this time. There was a shake-up in command and these were the results: Commander-in-chief, Kenneth Galyen; Chief-of-Staff, Flora Mae Kerstine; and Secretary of War, Bob Stewart. Mr. Payne was our able commanding officer. During this next and more decisive engagements there were more casualties Jack Boyer was transferred to Denver, Janice White moved to Niobrara, and La Rue Anstine moved to Beatrice. However, we gained another strategic point. At the end of the term it was inevitable that we would lose three more gallant fighters: La Rene Halsey, Dean Monson who moved to Idaho, and Bernice Weinberger to Norfolk while La Rue Anstine rejoined our ranks. Then came another much needed interval when we stopped to reorganize and stock up for more offensive actions. Many new recruits had volunteered for sendee here. These were Eunice Dahl, Vera Lenz, Donna Nelson, Helen Schutt, and Dolores Rudnick. Another change in command was effected and results are as follows: Commander-in-chief, Gene Phillips; Chief of Staff, Norman Hicks; and Secretary of War, Bob Lewis. Commanding officers are: Miss Bastian and Miss Ilarsch. One decidedly victorious event was the three act play “Ridin High”. This battle is still waging but the enemy we haves suffered no casualties. I am sure that with determination to win education we will inevitably be victorious. —Jeanette Kinne is retreating and as yet for the cause of higher N
