An important part of their lives will have been completed as they sail forth to make the best possible use of the knowledge they have gained. Eight of the 49 members of the senior class began school together in the kindergarten, and t h y have completed 13 years of school life together. They are as follows: Myrtle Henke, Jack Sexton, Betty Dill, Patricia McDonald, Shirley Schwinck, Tommy St. Clair, Jean Ferguson, and Elaine Linde11.

Willard Nelson and Robert Neligh enlisted in the Army, Five senior lettermen, Arlin Feyerherm, Robert Breetzke, Robert Stewart, Elton Pearson, and Jack Sexton, comprised the first string basketball quintet which brought home one of the best records in years.
