In Retrospect We, the seniors of 41, can look back on our four years of high school as years full of work and play, sorrow and happiness. We have lived and we have learned. As freshmen many new members from rural dis- tricts and neighboring towns joined our ranks. The new members soon became our friends and we were glad to have a larger and a better class. As we assumed the responsibilities given us, the true spirit of high school was instilled in us. The next year as sophomores we were looked down upon by the Juniors and Seniors. We took the punishments of initiation with a smile and soon became a part of senior high. It was then that we began to understand and to appreciate high school. The next year w e were Juniors and we began to have more influence. Our studies were harder and as we worked, the talent in our class began to show itself. The prom and the banquet were the high- lights of the year. We were proud to know that we had learned to work. Now as the Seniors of 1941, we realize what a privilege it is to be able to have an education. We are grateful to our teachers for the conscientious help they have given us. We are happy to think that we will soon be going out into life, to new experi- ences in college and in our life work. But we are sad to know that the many roads of life will separ- ate us from the best friends we hav e ever had. In leaving high school we will try to make the most of what we have learned and take with us only happy memories.. 1941 Ellendale High School Annual - Coleman Museum 2017
