Class A Officers Lucius Gm: Ronan HELLAND Pfexidenl Vice'-President BILL SALBCHUDER WAYNE ANDERSON Sggfgzgfy Trzarufef sir ' 'J EQ? . if . X .,. al-' Class History In the fall of the year 1938, a group of 101 brightly arrayed young people drafted themselves into the tedious yet interesting army of high school students. As officers of this yet unorganized army we elected, Geraldine Edson, presidentg Priscilla Greenwold, vice-presidcntg Shirley Miller, secre- taryg Helen Koepp, treasurer, and Shirley Connors and Eugene Lentz as Student Council members. Realizing that we were unaccustomed to high school rules and regulations, we responded very readily to the work put before us. Our home room teachers were Miss Cheney, Miss Kleist, and Mr. Switzenberg. In October the Sophomores thought it wise to initiate us to the duties and hardships of our future life by making the girls braid and tie rags in their hair and wear tin cups around their necks. The boys had to endure fingernail polish and hair ribbons. On September 14, we wrote our l. Q. test. Geneva Buck, Ardith Cornelius, and Wilbur Darrah won the scholarship awards from our class. During our Sophomore year we had outgrown our freshman traits and our ranks had surprisingly increased to 103. Lorraine Johnston and Shirley Connors were chosen Cheer Leaders. P. Green- wold, president, S. Connors, treasurer, G. Edson, vice president, L. Johnston, secretary, and D. Lund- holm and B. Striclcer, Student Council members were chosen by the class. Queen Shirley Connors reigned for one night as Prom Queen. In our Junior year, we decreased to 94 in num- ber, and thought ourselves above the trivial aHairs of the freshmen and sophomores. We chose Richard Dimick, president, Edwin Ostenson, vice-president and Roger Helland, secretary-treasurer, and Stu- dent Council members, Milton Blair and Robert Broadbent. We appeared before the public in the striking comedy June Mad. Our cartoonist Roger Helland was voted into the spotlight as Prom King. Bebe Wesslin won First place with her humorous declamation and our class was well repre- sented at the music festival. In the spring, Pris- cilla Greenwold was voted the best all-around citi- zen from our class and was sent to Madison by the American Legion Auxiliary. Alas! Our goal is reached. We are seniors. Treading the last turn in the road of our high- school days our class dwindled to 83. Lucille Graf, Roger Helland, Bill Salscheider and Wayne And- erson are our oliicers. Our class-play Young April, was successfully presented November 29, with Priscilla Greenwold and Roger Helland play- ing the leads. Bebe Wesslin was the military major of the marching band and Florence Hunton and Geraldine Edson the twirling majors for the past three years. Melvin Swan was our song-bird and Priscilla Greenwold our pianist. Athletically we leave such names as Captain Edwin Ostenson, Richard Dimick, Walter Knutson, Donald Barritt, Bob Wethern, David Olson, Dean Flygstad and Bill Salscheider. Page Sixteen
