SEN ICRS 1937 3 SENIOR OFFICERS Wemer Anderson ------ President Gordon Campbell - - Vice President ' Jean Hagberg - - Secretary .lnanits Harris - - Treasurer With the realization that sometime the members of this year's graduating class will find pleasure in returning with the aid of this book to the eventful days of the Brainerd High, we think it is htting and proper that there should be a brief account of the members during their three years of study. Upon looking back on these cherished periods of learning, we first think of the group of ambitious sophomores, eager to begin their new studies. Their first social event was a lclallowe'en party, held in the cafeteria. ln the second semester the class had a sleigh ride after the lack of snow was finally overcome. As Juniors, the class entered their second year as fine a group of students as anyone could wish. ln the class election Lyle Korum was chosen as president, Werner Anderson as vice president, Glendore' McDonald as secretary and Katherine Johnstone as treasurer. Miss Laipple and Mr. Burton were selected as advisers. One of the highlights of the eventful year was the winning of the title of queen of the annual fun fest by jean Hagberg, the Junior nominee. At the end of the second semester. the prom, the most success ful feature of the year, was held in the gym. The theme of this oc- casion was that of an ocean liner in an Hawaiian harbor. The banquet was served in the cafeteria, the colors predominating being those of the senior class. After a great deal of hard work this prom turned out to be a much talked about success. This energetic group finally entered its senior year with one main object in view-to make it the best and happiest period of its high school career. The class started out by selecting its officers. Werner Anderson was chosen as president, Gordon Campbell as vice president, .lean Hagberg as secretary and ,lunita Harris- as treasurer. The teachers honored as class advisers were Miss Bachelder and Miss Farrankop. The social year started with the Christmas banquet. held in the cafeteria. The exchanging of humorous gifts greatly added to the merriment. The play. Berkeley Square. was presented on the thirteen th of April. The leading parts were interpreted in an excellent fashion by John Dale Whitlock, Gertrude Peterson, Beverly Swanson, Martha Sheets, Wilbur Knudsen. and William Mccollough, who with the supporting cast gave a pleasing and delightful presentation. Another outstanding and colorful event-the annual senior dress up day-was enjoyed by Seniors as well as the underclass- men. ln the morning the prospective graduates paraded before their admiring fellow students and in the afternoon went on their annual picnic. A good time was had by all. The climax of the social year was reached at the junior-Senior Prom on April third. The prom being called the Cotton Ball, the gym was decorated to represent an old southern mansion. To add to the motiif, all the girls wore gingham formals. After a desert was served, the merrymakers danced until after the midnight hour. This year, owing to the fact that school was prolonged into june, the Baccalaureate and Commercement services were not until that month. At this time the mighty Seniors sat for the last time in the auditorium of their dear old Alma Mater. With the recording of this event the history of this unusual class is complete. May these students always carry with them, the high ambition and ideals which they have cultivated here and may find their days at Brainerd High School an unfailing aid to the attainment of their ends. 1
