- HISTORY OF THE CLASS DF 1954 Freshmen-1950 as On a bright sunny day, September 6,1950 a small group of students, the freshmen class of 1950, entered Corona school. Included in the eight who enrolled were: Dorothy Schulte, Verda Pew, Ann Fenhaus, Shirlee Jorgenson, Glen Zeigler,Ralph Seehafer, Stephen Van Cleve,and5B1lly Wilde. We were just a bit shy, and maybe a little curious as to how we would be accepted in high school, It d1dn't take long to find out as we were soon initiated. The class once increased to nine, when Margaret Hall- stein joined our ranks: it wasn't for long though, as Stephen Van Cleve transferred to Wilmot. We managed to live through our freshmen year, but all the while we were quite envious of our upperclassmen. Sophomores: Our little group were no longer the green freshmen of C.H.S. We felt superior to the freshmen but longed for the title of upperclassmen. During the second :semester cur number was diminished toe seven as Shirlee Jorgensen transferred to Hazel. Time went on though and soon the year was only a memory. Juniors: Eureka! We are upperclassmen! Enrollment day Maas saddened by the fact that Margaret Hallssein had trans- ferred to Raymond,South Dakota, reducing our class to six. This, however, did not dim our enthusiasm because we were soon busy with the many Junior-Senior activities. We received our rings and proudly flashed them be- neath the nose of the underclassmen, and then one day we arrived in school to find the seniors gone., Oh, how this made us yearn for the day when we too could skip school without an excuse. We just wouldn't be satisfied until we could call ourselves mighty seniors. Seniors: At Last! We were dignified seniors. We were now en- titled to little privileges and believe me we took advant- age of it, but as the year passed an we began to realize that soon we would leave Corona High and never return as students. That thought was not a happy one, although we had grumbled and complained constantly about school being a grind. I'm sure none of us would trade those four wonderful years for anything. No amount of writing could tell all the things we remember of our years in high school. We will carry these memories with us and perhaps sometime we will think back to them and smile fondly, and wish that we could turn back the years and live once more those happy years in Corona High.
