History of the Junior Class of 1944-45 ()n a bright August day in the fall of 1944, thirteen girls and sixteen hoys started the year as juniors in the Atkinson High School. Class officers were elected as follows: President, Laureen Hamilton; vice-president, Helen Moens; secretary, Shirley Atwell; treasurer, Albert He Pauw. Football was the main s|M rt and our class was represented on the team by Ralph Moens, Ralph Nordstrom, Ralph and Ronald Lester, and Ivan Quayle. On December 1 the Junior Class presented their play. The seventh of March was another important day for the juniors. Of course, we all plan to graduate and that was the day we chose our announcements and ordered our name cards. April 28th was the date of the Junior-Senior Banquet and that, of course, was a very special and long-planned-for occasion. May 18th was our last day as juniors. Three-fourths of our high school career was over but we will be back again next fall to start our senior year. The iM5 Tiger 13
