Seniors CLASS OFFICERS LEFT TO RIGHT-JOHN KVAM, Treasurer; FLORENCE JOHNSON. Secretory; DuWAYNE HANSON, Vice President; DICK COY. President. OUR CLASS RING AND ANNOUNCEMENT Ah . . . these 1 2 years of school life. At times they've been hard, but for every task there has been an equal amount of fun. In our freshman year our class consisted of 108 mem- bers. We were green, all right, from the moment we set foot in the high school to our rather talented (???) art class. Doug Prall was elected our president that year. Much of our time in the sophomore class was spent in Biology dissecting frogs, etc. That was the year we got to wait on the junior-senior banquet which carried out the Club '49 theme. As juniors we were hosts to the Southern Plantation” banquet. And we certainly carried the theme down to its minutest detail! We took over the Gopher's Whistle at the half of that year, and also were given our posi- tions on the Chippewa for the coming year. Who can forget the packed house for the class play, I Remember Mama ? Remember Vi Anderson's per- formance of Katrin ? We elected Hazel Teien to represent our school at Girls' State and DuWayne Hanson for Boys' State. Hazel also was class presi- dent; Joanne Vinge was vice president; Marlene Chamberlain, Secretary; and Rita Ernst, treasurer. And then came our triumphant senior year! We elected Dick Coy as our president, DuWayne Hanson as vice president, Florence Johnson as secretary, and John Kvam as treasurer. This was the year we picked our cards, announcements, and took our graduation pictures. We had our Kid's Night social party and what a success it was. Our class seemed to go for southern things in a big way, for we chose Mignonette as our class play. Rita Ernst as Mignonette and Rube Groehler as Jona- thon Mills both performed admirably. • All ii all, these four years have been one of achieve- ment. But our lives do not end with graduation. We, as seniors, can, must and will do our wholehearted best to succeed in the life before us.

MARION AHRNDT proved to be one of Mr. Olson’s most able stenographers. Small, blond, with a clear com- plexion, Marion was in G.A.A.'s costume committee for the junior class play, and baton twirling. She also helped in Mr. Grimstad's office in her junior year. Never without an answer is quick-tongued CHARLES BERENS and he has really done his share and more of keeping his classes alive. Charlie has participated in basket- ball, track, and baseball. He likes most of all to spend his spare time hunting and fishing. Seniors Blond, brown-eyed SHIRLEY AHRNDT possessed an unusual sense of humor. Her school activities include G.A.A., Drama Club, Baton twirling, declam, Usher Club. Her quiet disposition may fool you, but after getting to know PATRICIA BIRHANZEL she is full of fun and pep. Usher club, drama club, and properties committee for the junior class plav took up most of Pat's leisure. Pat was one of the athletic farm girls and could swing a mean bat along with any softball star. VIOLETTE MAE ANDERSON, one of our charming homecoming attendants, is known for her friendly person- ality and sweet smile. Vi has participated in band for three years, chorus and glee club, G.A.A., declam, trio and sex- tet. She also had a lead in the junior class play, in which she played the part of Katrin. “Skv rocket—let’s go”—proceded by a non-hand flip—is done by no other than peppy and full-of-fun GLORIA BOE. Gloria has been active in cheerleading for four years. Gopher's Whistle, and Library Club, of which she was president. She was also on the annual staff, junior class plav, senior class play, baton twirling, G.A.A., chorus, glee club, and trio. Working at Pure Oil station dowrftown occupied RAY- MOND ARNE’s spare time. Although of a quiet nature, he was at times amusingly witty. The twinkle in her eye and the reddish brown hair helped make MARLENE CHAMBERLAIN famous all around school. Molly has taken part in chorus, band, flute trio, and Student Council. President of the G.A.A., assistant editor of the Whistle, and music editor of the Chippewa are included in her extra-curricular. Quiet, good-natured RICHARD ARNE plans to enter priesthood after graduation. Although his school life was not one of the busiest, he enjoyed working on any com- mittees when the occasion presented itself. Dark haired and a friendly smile describe GARNET CHASE. Garnet participated in G.A.A., baton twirling, speech plays, usher club, and declam. You can often see Garnet coming down the hall with her arm full of books, and either eating candy or chewing gum. A bit slow and easy going are two things which seem to characterize JAMES BENOIT. Dark, good-looking Jim was one of the homecoming attendants. He participated in football during his junior year, and has been a member of Mr. Gilles’ projector crew. Racking up a record of senior class president, captain of the football team, and attendant for homecoming king was to the credit of RICHARD COY. A sense of humor which made him one of the clowns of the senior class, Dick has been active in declam (in which he got to the regional), chorus, track, and basketball.
