SENICR CLASS HISTORY In September, 1928, we, the Senior Class of 1940 started out on the first step of school life. Miss Potoff, our first grade teacher, initiated us so that we could en- dure the hardships of the forthcoming years. Our superintendent was Mr. Lok- ensgaard. Of the 48 seniors now graduat- ing, thirteen were together in the first grade. These Were: Raymond, Myrtle, Russell, Florence, Idelle, Virgil, Phyllis, Curtis, Irene, Deloris, Jerome, Elwood, and Florence T. Our second grade teacher was Miss Anderson. Now that we had really started our career as promising young students we felt quite superior to the lower grade. In the third grade, Miss Goebel taught us how to write with pen and ink and many of us would often go home looking much blacker than when we had come. Our fourth grade teacher was Miss Hansen. We now felt that we were getting well along in our school careers. Our fifth and sixth grade teachers were Miss Barnes and Miss Stemm. In the seventh grade we had the pri- vilege of initiating Miss Selander to the Dawson School. We had now reached the height of our ambition, and that was to climb the stairs to attend classes. Miss Bacon piloted us through the eighth grade and state exams and pre- pared us for our first commencement. At the be-ginning of our freshman year the new building was put into use. Many new- students were added to our class this year. Of course there Was the usual procedure of intiation by the Sopho- mores. The next year we were quite proud of the fact that we were in senior high. This year several sophomores participated in football and basketball. These were Ray- mond, Everett, Russell, Curtis, Layton, Lyle and Elwood. Our Junior year proved to be grand and glorious and was filled with excite- ment. The class play My Wife's Family , under the direction of Miss Deters was acclaimed a great success. The champion- ship football team consisted of many ju- niors. We ended the year with the grand finale of the Wor1d's Fair Banquet. Our high school career was brought to a climax during our senior year. During the year most of the seniors bought rings and some of them got sweaters, which were ga' een and white. At the time of this writing, no definite information is as yet available about the class play, banquet, or commencement week. HIGHEST RANKING SENIORS VALEDICTORIAN wi , 3, . ,.
