Seniors Complete the Scenic Route By way ofa little respite from the business of keeping the Senior Class affairs moving smoothly, the Senior Board takes time out for a brief lunch. Seated: Fred Swensen, sergeant at arms, Joan Oakins, secretary, Yvonne Kulenkamp, vice president, Richard Hedenstrom, treasurer, William Hendrickson, ser- geant at arms. Standing: Barbara Smich, Virginia Hogberg, David Turner, president, Harlan Sween, Margery Miller, Barbara Pilgren, Marjorie Ubel. Moving up the aisle in a procession of white and royal blue, the seniors of i951 remember the well-traveled route leading to this twelfth Mur- ray graduation. Contrary to previous classes, this group had an early start in becoming unified by electing officers and choosing class rings late in their sophomore year. Many vigorous money making activities were scheduled when, as juniors, Tom Swanson, presi- dent, took over. Assisted by Miss Louise Smith and Mrs. Leona Hanson, advisers, two big dances, the Sweater Dance and Sadie Hawkins Dance were successful. Other activities included a popcorn ball sale and a very popular movie, Margie. A spring night, made more entrancing by the theme, Twilight Time, will long be remembered as students look back on the prom, May twenty- sixth, at the Commodore Hotel. David Turner, a Murrayite of only a year, as- sumed the duties of senior class president. A por- tion of the class dues was donated to the crippled children mentioned in Paul Light's column in the St. Paul Pioneer Press. Another donation went into the fund for the European orphan that Mur- ray is aiding. Sketches of life in the Roaring Twenties were depicted on December fourteenth and fifteenth as the dramatic senior production, Cheaper by the Dozen, was performed. Programs designed by James Preus added an original touch to the event. Sponsoring the movie, lt Happened One Night, brightened the day of January tenth for most of the student body. A committee, headed by Eleanor Tyson, planned and staged an unusual and festive party for the seniors, March second, Entertainment ranged from bingo and Ping-pong, to square dancing. Today finds many seniors receiving scholastic honors and looking eagerly forward to a new and different semi-open prom, May twenty-fifth, and graduation, June fifteenth. Although busy planning these occasions, they seriously consider life's various highways which are leading them into the future. Page thirteen
