CLASS HISTORY We seniors, who are now leaving Fenger, feel that we have a history that anyone may be proud of. In February, 1927, we entered this high school and enrolled in divi- sions 131, 105, 330, 312, and 335. We were in great glee for we were the first class to begin its schooling i-n the new building. Freshmen are supposed to be green, but we had company in our misery because even the seniors were confused with the bigness and new- ness of their school. Do you remember how one of our classmates QI'l1 not say whoj came late to Algebra after being in school for five weeks, with the excuse that she couldn't find the room? Although we had many such experiences and lots of fun, we worked hard and many of us gained the right to belong to the Phorex. The boys of 105 began their life of athletics and won Freshman championships. Then, in Decem- ber we had our Freshman party. Didn't it make you think you were already in your second childhood when a big, fat Santa Claus entered? With his deep, gruff voice, little red stocking cap, and long, white whiskers, he was a comical old fellow. We each re- ceived a present-a lollypop-which kept us quiet for a short time. The next term we were Sophomores. It was then that we began to control matters. We entered the Biology Club, the boys helped win school swimming meets, and some of us appeared in Mrs. Mulcahy and Universal Exchange, given by the Junior Drama Club. When we were 2A's, the girls became active in school affairs. A style show was given, and we fully believed that our part in it helped its success. In the G. A. A. we won recognition also. Erma Ergo was elected vice-president and Stella Maskas, sec- retary. Then we became Juniors. Girls, do you remember our Backward Party? How funny we looked walking around with our dresses on backward. It certainly was lucky that an absent minded professor wasn't there. He might have mistaken us for a pecu- liar species of creatures. A few of us musically inclined joined the Glee Club and helped put on the production of Lotta. We were justly proud of our parts in the Flower Chorus' and Break Down Dancef' It was during our Junior year that we lost one of our members-Alva Sorenson. Her death left us sorrowful and grief stricken. But time passes, and when the next term came around, we found that we were Seniors. We felt quite grand until one day fMarch 14, to be exactj we were told that we had to be initiated. We, wearing green bows and ties, Qwhat a degrading colorj marched to the small Auditorium, filled with fear. But our fears were groundless. We were entertained like royalty with a program of music, refreshments, and dancing. Later on we 4B's gave the 4A's a party, and it really was surprising to see how many seniors were nothing but farmers and farmer-lassies. When we were 4B's, we were lucky to have a National Honor Society formed in our school. Our class gave three people to be charter members of this club. Not to be outdone in things original, the Harmony Club composed an operetta which was called Zara. The composer of the plot, we are glad to say, was one of our classmates. The 4B boys formed very important parts of the Social orchestra, Basketball, Baseball, Swimming, and Track teams, and helped them gain recognition. A few months later we became the very high and noble seniors. We held a 4A Class meeting, and to the responsible positions held by seniors, we elected Charles Mucha, Class President, Helge Benson, Vice-President, Frankhild Olson, Secretary-Treasurer, and Russell Lloyd, Mayor. Under their leadership we feel that we have served Fenger with our best, trying to set an example for coming classes, and striving to raise Fenger in the estimations of outsiders. We do not forget the help of the faculty, the cooperation of the other students, nor the benefits of the school life, all of which have strengthened us for our future careers. Page 2 0
