President. Ben Harmsen Vice-President. Donald Lawrence Treasurer. Margaret Perrin Secretary. Clifford MacMullin Serious Seniors Graduate June 6th Dear Di:— Just imagine, Di, four years ago we were just beginning High School as Freshies at Cville. It doesn't seem so long ago, does it? In our first year we wern't such an active bunch. IVc had our share of parties and spent the year getting adjusted to our new life. But when we came back next year, Di, as Sophs, we thought that we were really coming up in the world. This year we selected class pins and we think they look pretty “classy . Then after a swell summer vacation we came back only to find that the number in the class was enforced by the joining of members from Allendale, Conklin, Eastmanville, Lamont, Nunica and other places around here. Roy, oh, boy, did we have an exciting time this year picking out our rings and putting on the Junior-Senior banquet in the spring. IVhen our final year rolled around we found that we had a lot of important things to decide- First of all we had to have our pictures taken by Versluis. Then came the picking out of the “Zenith vtaff, selecting of our invitations and de- ciding whether or not to have a Carnival to help make money for our trip day. After the date for the Carnival was set the Senior play “New Fires” had to be sponsored and then we had quite a “too- do” about having caps and gowns, but it was fin- ally decided to have grey ones. Then toward the end of the year we had to plan for our boat trip day to Milwaukee and the big Junior-Senior ban- quet given by the Juniors. Topping it all was the night of June 6th, 1941, for that was the final event of our high school career— Graduation. Di, I’d tike to have you meet the students who graduated in the year '41. First cf all, Benjamin Harmsen — “A head full of poetry, a pen skilled in rhymes. And a heart glad to welcome fun and good times.” Bible Study , 2; Baseball 3, 4; Dramatics 3, 4; Com- mercial Club 4; Class President 4; Ticket Mana- ger of “Beginner’s Luck” 3; “New Fires” 4.
