SENIORS Senior Class President ARNE AASLAND-Aasy Ambitious and able. CLASS HISTORY Bright and early one morning the beginning of the Senior Class of '46 trudged to school. There were seventeen: Arne Aasland, Lorraine Carman, Jane Dullum. Bill Fischer, Arne Ciarness, llene Gerjets, Ronald Grothe, ThelMona Healey, Barbara Herringer. Naomi Hovland, Florella Johnson, Raima Kloety, Leslie Ness, Yvonne Peterson, Duane Shelland, Har- riet Sprung, and Ada Mae Teters. Remember the old phonograph and how we tried so hard to keep in step as we marched behind Miss Youmanns? ThelMona and l.eslie left us in the second grade. Tee Hee came back in the third grade. Muriel Ness. Russ Onstad and James Schultz became members of our class in the third grade. Carman and Vonnie won first and second awards in declamation. Miss Bell, although not our teacher, bestowed her affections upon all of us. In the fourth grade the girls joined Girl Scouts. What a time they had that first year at camp! lla Rasmussen was our new class member that year. An eventful year, that fifth grade! We tried very hard to get one hundred in our spelling test. Reason: We got to slide down the fire escape from the top! That was the year Garney liew Carman's kite with their string and Fischer's all tied together. They won and split the profits-fifteen cents. Our new member was Gloria Moon, who came from Thief River Falls. She soon learned her way around. We began spattering with ink. Of course. an ink bottle or two were spilled. Rumpelstilskin was the operetta put on by the grades when we were in the sixth year. Florella was the queen. It was all very exciting. Leslie came back and l.oIa Mae Horn, one of our brainy members. joined our grade. Bill Fischer got his glasses that year. And we couldn't forget that wonderful picnic out at l-arson's and the fun we had swimming. Were we thrilled when we finally got to the seventh grade! So many different teachersl Remember R. B. Johnson, of whom we were so deathly afraid? We now had three more members, George Gilbertson. Mike 14 Merck, and Rhoda Olson. Was Barb ever mad when Miss Strand gave her a zero in her history test for talking. We will never be able to forget those memorable days we spent in the eighth grade. especially those spent in the English room with Miss Sad, our class advisor. Donna Fynskov and Lois Miller, two new studious U3 students, added their two cents, too. Ten more joined us in the ninth grade, Chester Bartz, Duane Foster, Raymond Jacobson, Royal Mae Johnson. Alice Krogstad, Eunice Riste, Helen Ruebke. Jerry Scott, Velarie Skalsky, and Marvin Williamson. Some girls got together and decided it was about time the boys knew how to dance, so they gave some parties to teach them. Finally we took our place in the Senior Assembly. Our desks were really something. Everyone swiped each other's drawers and passed them all around- what a mess! We had a hayride that year on a Saturday night and drove 'way to Hadler and back and all over town. Remember Miss Roith's and Miss Saari's shoes? Our carnival was that year, too. For the second year we won first on our inter-class tourna- ment decorations. Elaine Wagner and Clarice Wer- mager were additions to our class. lt was really fun putting on our Junior Class Play. Wind in the South. Mat directed it. and at dress rehearsal he gave us a party. The money we made on the play helped us to put on our Prom. which had a Dutch theme, with loads of tulips and a picket fence. Connie Burrill made her appearance in the Class of '46 that year. At last, we were SENIORS!! Jimmy, who had left after our Sophomore year, returned from out West. making a class of forty-one. Yvonne Peterson was chosen home-coming queen. Our class presented the play, What a Life. directed by Mrs. Hetland. Our graduation pictures finally arrived. and everyone was madly exchanging them and then hurriedly send- ing for more. We finally got our annuals out and filled them with scribblings. And last. but not least. we got our diplomas? Good-bye. Ada High! The 1946 Viking
