SENIOR HISTORY We hav’ come to the end of our high school days. Although we are looking for- ward to the future, we regret leaving our friends and the good times we’ve had during the past four years. Remember the day in the fall of 43 when we, 30 shy but am- bitious students, were enrolled as Freshmen? We were initiated by the Sophomores a few weeks later; and in turn, we gave the Initiation Party the next year; and in 46, we climaxed our Junior year; by giving the Junior Prom. We have an enrollment of 27 this year. This includes two new members, James Piven and Eugene Zabrowski, who transferred to Dor-Hi. Our first class meeting was held under the supervision of Mrs. Sorenson, our class advisor. We elected Herbert Scidmore as President; Jerome Ludwig, Vice- President; Virginia Mueller, Secretary; and James Beck, Treasurer. The Senior Class had the Milk Bottles and Dart Throwing games as concessions at the Carnival. Jerome Ludwig and Dora Genrich, our popularity contestants, re- ceived first place and were crowned king and queen. The Swingsters provided the music for the Senior Ball which was held on December 20. We gave a Hard Times Party on January 17. The Grand March was led by Lester Lueddecke and Patsy Hurth who were chosen as the best dressed boy and girl. Our class play was given in the spring; and on May 29 we received our diplomas at the Commencement exercises. CLASS WILLS We, the Senior class of 4. being of sound body and mind and in the presence of our consciences, leave our last will and testment. Article I, We, as a class, will the following:
