Graduates from three grade schools were there. Mixed emotions were felt but the strongest came from the clannish feeling of loyalty to old school ties gained from being thrown together for the first time with a few friends among many strangers. What was to be their destiny? The largest clique elected Dick Campbell class president but though it grew out of heated discussion it proved a good choice as he was reelected the next year and was destined still later to become the A. S. B. president. This same group elected the vice president, Ted Thompson and the treasurer Lois Dahl' however another group put in Alma Weitkanmp as secretary. The great achievement of these Freshmen was to construct one of the biggest bonfires to start off a pep rally re- sulting in a victorious game. The next year, this class was the first to have an orchestra for initiation. Old ties began to break, for now all original cliques were represented by class officers. Harold Van Hoff became vice president, Dudley Clark, secretary, and Alma Weit- kamp, treasurer. As upperclassmen they were for the first time a united organization. Every effort was pointed toward the highlight of the year-the Junior Prom. A success due to the organizing efforts of their officers-Dean Barth, presidentg Bob Smith, vice president: Virginia Anderson, secretary-treasurer. Under an outstanding group of officers they set out on their final year as high school students. Though marked hy sadness, when some of their dearest classmates left for the armed forces, it was their most fruitful year. They enjoyed earning annual money, had a successful sneak, and an impressive baccalaureate and gradua- tion. This is 1101 the end of this class, however. It is only the beginning. During their high school careers they have begun to learn to cooperate, to give up their own pleasures for the good of the whole. This is what C. V. has given them to start on the road of life.
