Our Baccalaureate Service was held on January 20. Russell Carlson led the audience and class in the dedication and scripture reading. A very timely and interesting talk was given by the Reverend Mr. Charles Dion of Lakeville, Minnesota. Under the direction of Elmer Sodergren, the combined voices of the choral club and choir provided music for the occasion. Lingering Melodies was the theme of our class banquet that was held on January 17. The theme certainly suited the occasion as we shall always think of those good old days back in high school and wish we were again cramming for exams. But most of all we shall miss the happy times that only bobby soxers can have. Best of luck to the rest of youl CURTIS STENDAHL Valedictorian A Perfect Ending CLASS OFFICERS Gordon Hesselroth.

CLASSMATES We began school with certain friends and moved through the lower grades and high school with many of the same ones. Together we have looked into the future searching for aptitudes in order that we may choose our professions wisely and plan our lives. From now on our paths may divide; but the memories of our school companionships will always remain with us.

CLASS ADVISERS Mr. Hamrio, Ml A. Johrmon. Mn. Mtckelsen. They Set The Pace Commencement this year threw a new light on the future. It is the first peacetime graduation since the world was plunged into war four years ago. The themes of the speakers, Irene Jensen and Curtis Stendahl, dealt with the problem of peace and the future. Presentation of awards was made by our principal. Mr. Reichard, and the diplomas were distributed by Roy Weir, member of the Board of Education. The music of the orchestra, instrumental solos, and a vocal ensemble gave variety to the program. With commencement exercises came the sad realization thit four glorious years have been completed. We're leaving Edison—leaving with the hope that teachers, students, friends, will remember the January class of '46, as the class will remember them. IRENE JENSEN Salutatorian ¥ Pag 29
