--4 h-a m I-n: 5...: hail L-a Lg: 5:13; Memories . . . Fourteen of the new great Seniors made their appearance at the kindergartens, here in Central City. Timid and crying they spent that first half day. After that it was old stuff and they began to make their showing in the world. Along here some where we find True Burr play- ing itKing Kiss,um,i with the girls, perhaps with a little help from Francis Cohagan and Don Lar- son. One other event marked the time between kindergarten and our entrance into High School. Dick Wagner and Ed Potter sitting under North Park bridge smoking cigars. As we entered High School we were given a welcoming hand by the Seniors, for which we wor- ried four weeks and recuperated from for two weeks. Class officers were elected as follows: President, Ed Potter; Vice-president, Adah Jane Surface; Secretary, Ruth Marie Hummel; and Treasurer, Edward Johnson. Freshies made a showing that year with several taking high honors in the three iiR,s7, and others in the fields of-Basketball, Football, Track, Vocal Groups, Pep Club, and Girl Reserves. The year ended with a Freshman Class picnic held at Riverside. Itis wonderfuleSophomores at last! Our Sophomore year opened with election of officers with George Ferris taking over the Presi- dency; Adah Jane Surface, Vice President; and Billie Ruth Rogers, Seeretary-Treasurer. As the pigskin came into evidence this year, so did Francis Cohagan, Ed Potter, and Don Larson along with many others. This, our second year, we threw off our fear and entered the spot light with three.Sophomores hav- ing major parts in the Junior Play. These honors went to Lois Henk7 Marilyn Foster and Dick Wagner. Glory goes too, to Adah Jane Surface, Marianna Campbell, and Billie Ruth Rogers for outstanding work in vocal music. As always the Sophomores served the Junior- Senior Banquet with only a few mishaps. This year came to a triumphant close with a class picnic at Riverside on May 18. ' Upper classmen at last. We were off to a flying start, electing Francis Collagan, President; Luana Nelson, Vice-President; Don Larson, Secretary- Treasurer. With Miss Burnham and Miss Kleeb 12 serving as sponsors. This year again this wonder class showed its ability in sports and music. We sponsored the play iiMiss Jimmyii, featuring as its talented stars, Phyllis Aren, Adah Jane Sur- face, Billie Ruth Rogers, Luana Nelson, Lois Henk, George Ferris, Marilyn Foster, True Burr, and Walter Hosiek. Barbara Engel served faithfully as an assistant to our director, Miss Swan. iHVIiss Jimmyh was presented February 28th, and was a grand success. The Juniors honored the Seniors at the annual JuniorSenior Banquet on May 18. iiMusicii was the theme and setting for the big event. The National Honor Society welcomed to its ranks five Juniors, Luana Nelson, Francis Collag- an, George Ferris, Jeanne Smith, and Billie Ruth Rogers. ' Junior Class picnic was held May 24th and school closed its doors on the 26th. Seniors 0f ,45, not numbering quite that, made up for their small number, by the quantity of great deeds performed. First and most important in some eyes, was our greetings to the new, very green Freshies. It last- ed three days and many paddles found their mark in that time. As school opens so does the football season and . our Seniors made their last glorious showing with Don Larson, Ed Potter, Dick Wagner, Glen Lutrell, Bob Lutes, and Roy Kuhn giving plenty of last bows. e Pros and cons were discussed as to the merits of a yearbook and with Dick Wagner pushing, a favorable decision was made and a staff appointed. a Basketball really had its place this year as far as the Seniors are concerned. Those lettering from our class were Ed Potter, Jim Cline, Bob Lutes, Roy Kuhn, Francis Cohagan and Don Larson. The Bison achieved fame by the winning 0f the County Tournament trophy. When we were freshmen someone vaguely told us what it was all about, when we were sophomores we tripped around the auditorium, scared to death, serving food to our overruling Juniors and Seniors, and as Juniors we furnished the money for it. But, alas, the day did come when someone thought of us. The Juniors paid us a tribute by entertaining us with the annual Junior-Senior Banquet. There was fun and frolic for all when the illong waited forT, Senior week came along. All rules and regulations were thrown aside in their final fling before graduation. What a week!!! On the twenty-fifth day of May this Class of i115 made their debut to the world. Through all their trouble and triumph they have proven themselves worthy of the diplomas they received on the glo- rious day. Hail! Seniors!
