,,.r- ,I Our last year is here and it is whizzing by so fast, we hardly realize that we're soon to graduate. Our first under- taking, was the election of officers. We got a good start by electing Ralph Stroup, Presidentg Winona Fox, Vice-Presidentg Marie Janssen, Secretary-Treasurerg Ruth Johnstong Historian. The president and vice-president are the student council mem- bers. - Ervin Janssen is president of the student council, obtain- ing the highest honor any student f 1 receive. We have a good administration under Ervin's sup: -7.1. He has also been chosen editor of the annual. We picked out our invitations and name cards, and decided on caps and gowns, blue with white collars and tassels of scar- let and white. Our class colors are scarlet and white. Ruth Johnston was given the D. A. R. pin this year: Mr. Terrill is our class sponsor. He came back this year to help us with our many confrontinf problems. During our four years at school vo had seven class sponsors. We always knew we were quite a class, but not exactly that bad. One realizes the danger in a thing like that when it comes to the last half sem- ester. The Senior class sponsored an exciting freshman reception at the beginning of the year. We have had only one class par- ty. This was a sleigh ride. J. L. Copas joined our class to see of what assistance he could be. Bill Copas left for the navy at the end of the sem- ester. We feel honored to be a class with one of our members in the armed forces. We hate to leave high school, even though we've done a lot of griping about everything and anything. Everyone is going to be out on his own, and we're all going to regret the f:cz that we won't be able to join the activities in the fall. so, we leave school carrying away a lot of msnories that we will never forget.

The characters vere Marie Janssen, Winona Fox, Dorothy Krum- uicde, Viola Hilgendorf, Edna Weber, Ralph Stroup, Harold Rust, and Ervin Janssen. Ve had great hopes for the play which turned out very profitable. The Banquet was held at the Hiddlccoff Hotel in Paxtona The menu consisted of Fruit Cup, Swiss Steak with creole sauce Baked Potatoes, Creamed Asparagus, Spring Salad, Rolls, Butter, Pineapple Upside Down Cake A la Mode, and Iced Tea. Ervin Janssen was master of ceremonies. Everyone cane but Bill Copas and his reason is still indifinitc. During the year we put out some good school papers. It consisted mostly of gossip, but there isn't a student in school that doesn't enjoy reading every word of it. We were also placed in charge of food sales at the Halloween Festival. We put on a little act on the stage too that Uasnft worth what we charged for it, but then people bit and ue cleared a neat little sum. This year some of the juniors purchased class rings. An- other important event was the selling of candy at basketball games. We also sold pop-corn, xhich usually get us into trou- bleg The room we popped it in is what paused most of the trou- ble, because we never did clean it up. We gave Hr. Heller a good send off with a farevell party given for him by our class at a show in Onarga. Later, me ate at the Coffee Shop. This finished our hectic junior year as far as important events were concerned. Of course, there was a little griping about exams and things, but then you just could not expect seventeen people to be satisfied all of the time. We all thought that our junior year ras n :edulous one, but the last year sure is a lot worse. Host of the time we can't tell if we are going or coming, but at present we defin- itely knou that we are going. X -A ,,.V.,VF
