History of the Senior Class On September 3rd, 1919 we entered high school. Our coming was a source of pleasure for the upper classmen it seems, for they gave us a royal welcome to our new home. Our class, however, was not complete, for on the third day after school had started we received a new addition of three boys, Theodore Benson, Donald Scherf and Clair Burrill. With these new supporters we started on our first school year. After the upper classmen had finished abusing u,s, we thought we would give them something never to be forgotten, so we got down to business, and all quietly assembled one night at the school house for our Freshmen supper. Unfortunately the Seniors, Juniors and Sophomores had “gotten wind of it,” and came down to relieve us cf our “eats.” We were too fast for them, however, and saved our lunch. Consequently, we went without lights most of the time, which kept Mr. Kinney running down stairs the greater share of the time to turn them on again. All things went on smoothly and at the end of the year, we received oar report cards and the good news that all passed into the Sophomore class. Alter the school picnic, graduation exercises and other things, we left school for three months, until September, when we all returned, bright and smiling, ready for another term. We were very delighted to find we had another member, namely, Mabel Bjorgum, who furnished more fame for our already famous class. This time w’e were not very bashful about entering school as the Freshmen soon found out. We enjoyed the Freshmen party to the utmost and while we have the time, we wish to extend our sincere thanks to them for the good time they gave us. School was not so humdrum this year and we had a lively time with our party. In our Junior year, we were on one of the most importaht years of high school and were proud to say that we conducted ourselves accordingly. We gave candy sales, the proceeds of which went to the Junior and Senior Prom. In school affairs, we believe they could not have done anything without us. In Athletics, we had a place of distinction, all in all, we were a class that were doing our best to boost and raise the standard of our school. For the third time vacation came, but this time it seemed to pass by more quickly than ever, and after three short months we aga;n assembled at the dear old school house, where we spent one more happy year together. As all Seniors should, we labored earnestly and thoughtfully with our studies, striving to reach the zenith of High School knowledge. As in the years before our boys and girls took important pares in all athletics. Ihe time for fun and frolic has passed and we have become very interested
