These representatives made up the senior board. At these weekly meetings, headed by Jim Bulting- ton and Mr. Curtis, the tate ot the senior class was decided. Each member ot the board was charged with a specitic task which his homeroom was to carry out. The board helped the class to plan something new and ditierent tor graduation. Weeks ot plan- ning resulted in a dance held on June 7th and an all-night train ride to Winona on the date we'll always remember-June l2th, our graduation. llDon't torget your class dues was the tamiliar cry ot the credit bureau. Led by Dick Kinyon, class treasurer, and Miss Stevenson, credit bureau adviser, they valiantly collected dues every Tues- day at the beginning ot each semester. They planned our budget down to the very last penny, Since our dues totaled S'bl7.3O, it was quite a job tor the credit bureau members to collect it all promptly and accurately from each and every one in the class-as a matter ot tact, in some cases it was as bad as pulling teeth! All in all, both groups played a big part in help- ing our senior class to tunction so successtully. SENIOR BOARD Row I: Firth, Heier, Bjelland, Dorman, Urseth.
