5 f. mfg T94 - if .Q '-t VVe began our great high school career in 1943 by electing officers. Pee XVee Gilles was chosen presidentg jim Leinen, vice presidentg Dopey Lahren, secretaryg and Virginia Vogeler, treasurer. Tom Kuchiera and Gayle Michalek were elected to the Student Council. Perhaps most of you remember the first assembly we ever took part in. Most freshmen go through the same thing we did, although no freshman appreciates being initiated. Most of us know that Tom Kuchera has 'a fine school spirit. His spirit was prob- ably at its peak when he became a member of the football squad in '43. He knew quite a bit about football because he demonstrated how to block and tackle during the initiation assembly. The eighth grade was invited to the party we gave in january of '44. XVas this be- cause of custom or because we wanted company?! blames Leinen was chosen best actor in the 1944 VVho's YVho contest. There are few if any freshmen who have received the honor of being in XVho's VVho. Jim was on the football and basketball team and a class officer as well as an actor. NVho were the boys that modeled dresses for the students in the freshmen class assembly? They say Cliff Hermes was a real musician in those days. Bill XVorner became class president in the fall of ,44. Cilff Hermes was elected vice president: Arlys Nissen, secretary: and Beverly Dailey, treasurer. Margaret Drey- er, XVilliam Gilles and Thomas Kuchera were chosen to represent the class in the Stu- dent Council. As sophomores we took a more serious view of school life. Fifty cents was set as the minimum for class dues. I never could remember what the money was used for. XVhy didn't the Cactus Kates band together again? I didn't hear the Novelty Twins sponsored by Hector's VVhiz NVhisker Grower. Maybe it's best that way. Some of the other notables at the sophomore class assembly in 1945 were Frank Sinatra, Little Red Riding Hat and Don Roseth. VX'illiam Toodles Worner was again elected president in our junior year. James Leinen became vice-president, Margaret Dreyer, secretaryg Beverly Da.iley, treasurer. Barbara Holthusen, Thomas Kuchera and Alfred Keating became our Student Council representatives. Maybe some of you remember the scene at the bridge before the Breck-VYop foot- ball game in which many class members played such a prominent part. ,lim Leinen took over his duties as football and basketball captain in '45. He was mentioned on several all state teams and was chosen fullback of the all Minn-Kota team. Remember when the junior class play was put on? Mrs. Lauder almost went hoarse trying to get the actors in place and Puss .fxchter on the lights. Strings of paper hanging from the ceiling and from the boys' back pockets could be found near prom time. The gym was covered with purple, blue and white. Touches of silver were added to make the setting look rich. The theme of the prom was An Evening in Paris . A banquet was given at St. -Tohn's school before the prom to prepare all concerned for a long and glad evening. After this farewell to the seniors of '46 we took our final exams and most of us pulled through to become seniors in the fall of '-16. ORIAN PFLUGRATH, Historian K 7YZW Y , , Y Y ,,,, , l
