C. e L . IIT!! ,f QL i ' 'Zi' i ai .Q,i4g -0 V'hen we entered.the seventh grade, a new experience awaited us. It was our first year i11 tl1e asse111bly. Wie had quite a time remembering to wl1icl1 room we should pass, but after a few days succeeded. As members dropped out, others came to fill ll10l1' places, and then Margaret VVulf and Hilda' Huesehen joined us, Everyone lill0XV tl1e printer's daughter even before sl1e started school, Tl1e eighth grade was merely a continuation of tl1e seve11tl1 grade. Mabel XYill joined us iigillll after a year's absence. The boys had their first chance at school i11 hannnering Hlld sawing, and the girls learned to ply a needle. Five country graduates entered with us in our freshman year and are witl1 us still. They are Ililda Thede, Irene Lemburg, Melvin Sindt, Alvin Schroeder, Frank Rice and and Edna Stoltenberg. We were a large class, but many, receiv- ing their diplomas, dropped out. Of course, the Freshies l1ad the usual 11211110 of being green, but we S0011 showed them that we weren't as green as we looked by getting third in tl1e scholarship while the Sophs won fourth. The Sophonrores of the following year were bright and shining stars. lVe proved many things in geometry which emphasized this fact. Edith Barron join- ed us and we were glad to add another member to our class. IVhen we entered tl1e Junior year we were to fi11d out tl1at life was worth living after all and that school wasn't so very dry. VVe had a great deal of rivalry with tl1e Seniors, but we w0uldn't let them beat us out of anything. Adele and lVayne joined us this year. VVayne had come back to finish school witl1 tl1e same classmates he started with i11 the first grade. In April we gave Olll' Junior- Senior Banquet. It was the first of this kind that some of us had ever attended illlll of course it was terribly exciting. Wve had great Iillll decorating, but it was 111ore fun finishing tl1e cocktail the day after the banquet. Later we had a kid's day. The boys wore pretty neckties and the girls had ribbons i11 tl1eir l1ai1'. Eleven years had flown past and we entered the Senior Class. Twenty-one were present, for John Mattlin had come to graduate with us. 'We started out witl1 the full vigor of youth. Tl1e first week we had a fight over banners, Zlllll al- tll0llg.1'l1 we IIOVOI' l1ad o11e, we l1ad a pennant which flashed tl1e colors of our class, purple for royalty a11d wl1ite for purity. On the eleventh of September we went 011 a booster trip. This will be remembered as one of the most exciting days of tl1e senior year. VVhen we l1ad our first nice snow-storm, we went on a bob party. Such fun as we did have. NVill any of us forget it? Never! In tl1e following days tl1CI'6 will be our class play and the connneneeinent exercises. Then will follow tl1e great future, when the life which we COIHIUOIICOLT at graduatio11 will eome i11to a reality, and each individual will have a' histo1'y of his OWII. That history, however, will not have in it tl1e record of Zllly guiding teacher, but si111ply a record of tl1e guidance of a character, the foundation of which was laid before tl1e High School commencement day.
