crass Hts ropy The first of September 1947 found an eager group of Freshman waiting to climb High School Mountain. When roll was called the following people answered: Donna Thomas, Virginia Idso, Marlys Long, Anna Mae Marcus, Delia Hoversten, Janice Nichols, Doris Bennett, Joyce Green, Peggy Caruth, Anna Mae Ulrich, Ladonna Harkema, Vernon Huebner, Robert Cook, Donald Jensen, Richard Klein, Louis Baker, Allen Pingel, Wendell Ingebritson, Norman Kastendick, llile Smuck, James Barry, John Liittschwager, and Marilyn Warmbier. The first part of the mountain climb was under the guidance of Miss Perrin. The highlights were the one act plays and the winning of first prize in the homecoming float contest, Along this part of the journey we lost three fellow climbers. They were Janice Nichols, James Barry, and Marlyn Warmbier. A short rest was then taken and at the start of the journey in September 1948 twenty climbers were still in the group. They were: Donna Thomas, Virginia Idso, Delia Hoversten, Anna Mae Marcus, Doris Bennett, Marlys Long, Joyce Green, Peggy Caruth, Anna Mae Ulrich, Ladonna Harkema, lhle Smuck, Vernon Huebner, Robert Cook, Louis Baker, Donald Jensen, Richard Klein, Wendell lngebritson, Norman Kasten- dick, Allen Pingel, and John Liittschwager. The leadership changed hands and this time Mr. Mueller was responsible for us. 'The highlights for this climb were the class plays and Freshman initiation. This time two climbers left us. They were Donna Thomas and Delia Hoversten. For the first time in our climb we gained a member. She was Jo Ann Johnson. This concluded the second part of the climb and we all settled down for a short rest. When the journey was resumed in September of 1949 the group had seventeen mem- bers continuing the climb, even though it was harder going. They were Virginia Idso, Marlys Long, Anna Mae Marcus, Doris Bennett, Joyce Green, Peggy Caruth, Ladonna Harkema Jo Ann Johnson, Vernon Huebner, Robert Cook, Donald Jensen, Richard Klein, Louis Baker, Wendell lngebritson, Norman Kastendick, John Liittschwager, and Allen Pingel. A new member was added along the way. She was Arleen Meyer. Mrs. Jackson was the leader for thethird part of the journey which had the Junior- Senior Banquet as the highlight. The next part was the most difficult and in September of 1950 the following people started the last and final part of the climb: Marlys Long, Virginia Idso, Anna Mae Mar- cus, Doris Bennett, Joyce Green, Jo Ann Johnson, Peggy Caruth, Ladonna Harkema, Arleen Mever, Robert Cook, Vernon Huebner, Donald Jensen, Richard Klein, Louis Baker, Wendell Ingebritson, Norman Kastendick, John Liittschwager, and a new member Nila Tolbert, who joined us for the last of the journey. -Mr. Larson was the leader for the final climb and it was a tired group that was nearing the top of the High School Mountain when three members dropped from the little band. They were Anna Mae Marcus, Louis Baker, and Peggy Caruth, Finally the goal was reached and the sixteen members of the Senior Class all look back at the fun they have had making their long climb and are all looking forward to higher and more diffi- cult ones. Quiz for English Teachers English, they say, is the language most used, Most spoken, most written, most cruelly abused. The plural of box we all know is boxes, Yet the plural of ox is oxen, not oxes. One goose is a goose, but two are called geese But why isn't more than one moose quoted meese? If more than one tooth we'll designate teeth, Then why isn't more than one booth termed as beeth? We classify pronouns as he, his, and him, But never, it's certain, as she, shis, and shim. No wonder then, foreigners nearly go mad And speak our good English atrociously bad.
