Standfuaa, and M.A. Serbua dropped out, and they are now all at home with the exoeptlon of E. Standfuaa who la now married and haa made her home In Danube. The ouatomary praotloe of Initiation rolled around on November first, 1946. After a great deal of rough treatment we managed to re- turn to school the next day. Our class officers werei 0. Holwerda-Pres.; S. Lueck-V.Pres.; J. Piper-Sec. and H. Mlelke-Treas. and our advisor was Mias Engberg and later Miss Johnson took her place. Throughout the oourse of our Sophomore year four members dropped--- out. They werei S. Lueok, M. Seehuaen, and J. Brietkrietz. M. Weloh and S. Lueok resumed their schooling. M.

Seehuaen dropped out and are all at their homes except G. Good who la married and living in Huron, South Dakota. We were faced by the problem of presenting a Junior Class Play, but under the direction of Mrs. Knutson our play, Amaaing Oracle , was a great success. Officers werei T. Zetah, Pres; P. Zaske, V.Pres; and H Mlelke , Sec-Treaa., and the class advisor Miss Ulviok. It was this — year P. Zaske was honored Home-Coming Queen for 1948-49. The year we have all looked forward to haa arrived. We are now the Sophisticated Seniors. Seventeen students are looking forward to the big day. They are M. Abrahamaon, E. Becker, M. Dolezal, A. Hayek, G. Holwerda, S. Jahnke, M. L. Kopel, D.

Malvin - Seo-Treas. and Mr. Knutson is our advisor. T. Zetah, another girl from our class, was chosen Home-Coming Queen for 1949-50. The Senior Class Play Miss Jimmy1; under the direction of Mr. Wangen, was a huge success. The proceeds were used for the class memorial and the class trip. Along with Spring came the olass trip to Southern Minnesota and proved educational as well as interesting Iowa Honor students from the class were Terese Zetah, she ranked highest, and was honored as Valedictorian, and Norma Kramln who ranked very close ly became Salutorlan. As Commencement is nearing us we realize we have only laid a found- ation for the future, and as time goes we plan to build sonething more valuable for the future.

Signed t The Seniors of Danube High Sohool In the Year 1950. CLASS PROPHECY Looking through the crystal ball, we find many changes have taken place in the past ten years. The graduating class of 1950 is no long- er grasping for a plaoe in life but all have become successful. Erwin Becker has set up a profitable business of selling water pistols which he has confiscated from his pupils. His sideline is teaohing school. Agnes Hayek has finally received recognition as a world famous secretary and is now working for Secretary of State, Dean Atoheson in Washington D. C. Gerald Holwerda has found his fortune in the brokerage business and retired. He has settled down with his favorite girl to raise a family. Plash I This has just come over the radio, Joseph Serbus, our shy- senior has acquired the position of Senator of Minnesota. What do you know he might be president some day] Carol Lee's name is no longer Schroeder. She has settled down aa- a housewife and raising her own hired girls. Jerome Valvin has gone into the slot machine business and is now- now operating at the State Capitol. By reading all the farm magazines Norman Molenar has beoome a prosperous farmer. Only last year he became land hungry and purchased all the land around Danube. Margie Dolezal has aohieved her ohildhood ambition, that of a fashion model. She has Just returned from New York where she modeled the latest in spring apparel. Duane Kramer has Just converted his Hudson garage in Danube and is now selling Fords. Seems he was slowly losing money. We see Therese Zetah coming along the hall of the Olivia hospital where she is supervisor of the maternity ward. Verdyne Krause is a busy girl these days. We see her rushing from one cocktail party to another, giving orders to her household servant but still she finds time to darn her millionaire husbands socks. ing his Prophecy Con't. ?0UMeZaSSr1f.«2. lnJ?Tbe aft,er her teachers traln- gravel'plt! employed as chief dredger operator In Shlrlee Jahnke and Mildred Abrehamson are still together as thev always were In high school; they are single, happy go-luckj AlsTrt are still memorizing license numbers of certain cars.
