' 1sTo12Y i Q n a bleak and dreary September morn the halls of education CBuffalo Center Consolidated school! were invaded by twenty-eight bright and shining faces. Sixteen of the orginal first grade members have kept a special theme song in mind, 'keep Smiling', for they are now part of the graduating class of '5l. Now to account for the other twenty-one students graduating. The name of the teacher will be with the number of additions. The first grade teacher was Miss Blatt- spieler, second grade--Miss Nugent, additions-twog third grade--Miss Kiuper, additions-one: fourth grade--Miss Cran: fifth grade--Miss Hillsten. additions- three: sixth grade--Miss Kenyon, additions-two. Additions 1n seventh-three: eighth-one, nineth-eighteen, tenth-four. with twenty-s1x subtractions tn1s gives us the grand total of thirty-seven. As we look over the years we see the 'green' freshman starting one October evening on a hayride. I ch to our distress, the rack became unfastened from the tractor, leaving us slightly hysterical. After we captured the run away tractor we proceeded serenely Kwe thought! on our way. No one knows exactly what or how the rack became unsafe and tipped. A few of us were injured slightly and limped around school a few days. We put our aches and pains to good use if we could wiggle out of some work. During our sophomore year we had a Halloween Party at the school cafeteria. Coach Gregor was one of our sponsors. When the food committee cleaned up, a gang of future track men let out the air from the Coach's tires. Need we ex- plain why we called them future track men????? After making countless roses we Cas Juniors? deviated from the former prac- tice by having the Junior-Senior Banquet at the Forester Hotel in Forest City. After arranging the entire homec ming ourselves, we, the seniors, felt that there was a definite need for a more democratic way of doing such things. The result of all this was the formation of a Student Council. As future grads' we say, 'good luck, kids'. le are pleased to see that the seniors have taken an active interest in Band Boys' Chorus, Girls' Glee Club as well as sports. Our class as a whole is very much interested in the musical activities. The class gift is S200 toward the new Choir Gowns. EERHQR SKIP DAX 1 Bright and early on Friday morning April 20, thirty-three eager seniors, Mr. and Irs. Larson, and lr. Gregor took off in a big Jefferson Bus for the city of Minneapolis, which we reached about 11:30 a.m. Places visited dur1ngthe.noon hour were: Radio City Chapel CWCCOD, Dayton's, loolworth's Dime Store, etc. After much confusion we finally started our sight- seeing tour about 2:00. Some of the places we saw and visited were: The Uni- versity of Minnesota, Northwestern Airport where we saw a big transport plane and a Jet take off, St. Thomas College, Ford Plant, the barge that had struck the dam, and also some of the flood area. Last we went over to St. Paul where we went through the Btate Capitol. As we came into the capitol we saw Paul Bun- yan, Cs statue of himb. We arrived back at Minneapolis around 4:30. We went back to the Forum Caf- eteria and ate supper. Many went to a show,' and some to the Foshay Tower. We met atthe Greyhound bus station again and went out to see the Ice Follies. They really put on a wonderful performance. k1AJ.g..,in all, we believet e Seniors of '51 have had a very successful and legal S P 0
