We elected the following class officers: president, Wanda Spillowayg vice- president, LaVern Schlittenhardg secretary, Florence Puperag treasurer, Norbert Kinzler. Mrs. Helen Wasch was our class advisor. During the course of the year Jean Homola, Florence Pupera, Joe Zentner, and Phyllis Kuck dropped out. The first big event in our lives as freshmen came the last part of September when the sophomores made us Wwalk the plankn. On February lb the freshmen entertained the sophomores at a sophomore return party. In our sophomore year our class enrollment was nine- teen. We opened the new school year by electing officers. They were as follows: president, Grace Naatusg vice presi- dent, Archie Kleingartnergsecretary, Evelyn Meyergtreasurer, Joan Bender, and class advisor, Mrs. Wasch. We had the privilege of initiating the freshmen on September 17, which was a great success. We all looked forward to the sophomore return party which took place February lb. The following school year opened the 2nd of September with 18 juniors enrolling. Ernest Sommerfield and Janell Sommerfeld, who is now married, quit school. Verna Roesler from Lehr, N.

On December 15, the juniors received their class rings. On March 19 and 20th the juniors presented their class play, WHillbilly Weddinn. Last but not least, we as juniors honored the seniors with a junior and senior banquet which was held in the Congregational Church parlors. Our next year started with 15 seniors enrolled. Archie Kliengartner, DeLoris Zenker, and DeElda Zenker have left us and are now going to Jamestown High School. Our class officers are: president, Victoria Sarkineng vice president, Quentin Zimmerman, secretary, Norbert Kinzlerg treasurer, Joan Bender, and class advisor, Mr. Solheim. As this annual goes to press we are still looking forward to a Senior play, junior and senior banquet, skip day, and of course graduation!!! Now that the time has come for this elegant and con- spicuous Senior Class of l95L to graduate we can't possibly leave the school, its students, and the faculty without first leaving what we think is the most important advice ever left to anyone by anyone. Therefore, we, this highly distinguished Senior Class write our last will and testimony, which if once read shall ring in the ears of the readers as long as they may live, so it will not matter too much if quite by accident this will should be destroyed. To each one of the faculty the senior class wills the following: To Mr. Solheim, our superintendent, we wish to extend our sincere thanks for all he has done for us and also for all the sound advice which we will now give to him. To Mr. Andreson, our principal, we will all the nobly bound dictionaries of Webster for looking up the words which we now will use. To Mr. Lang we will all our debits and credits in book- keeping for now we finally learned into which column each should be placed. To Mr. Martino we will our ability to play basketball and type fast and also the best typewriter left with which he can do his own typing.
