They were: president, Jack Lakso, vice president, Darlene Jofs, secretary, Marie Malkovich, and treasurer, Barbara Kukar. The juniors determinedly set out to improve their financial status. They began their junior year with a deticit of 34.80. On November 9, 1953, they put on a carnival in a gayly decorated gym. Starting in the afternoon, the carnival consisted of many games and prizes. The Cakewalk, with prizes being cakes made by the juniors, proved to be very successful. The sophomore-sponsored shooting gallery also was well liked by everyone. Movies were shown during the day, and in the evening the student council put on a variety show. It consisted of songs, dances, and a pantomine. Refreshments of pop, ice cream, hot dogs, and pop corn were also served during the day and evening. To climax the evening, a beautiful gold horse with a clock embedded in it was raffled off. On December 18, the juniors sponsored the fifth annual basketball homecoming. Coronation cere- monies were held at the homecoming dance following the Eveleth-Gilbert game. Marie Malkovich, with nine attendants, reigned over the festivities. Also, in December the boys of the junior class went out and used their muscles cutting Christmas trees which were then sold to the school. These trees were placed in the junior and senior high schools and lended each room a Christmas atmosphere. It was a great day for the juniors when their class rings finally arrived. They claim that their rings are the nicest that any other class ever had. Every ring was kept well polished for the next few weeks. ln the spring, the juniors put on the annual Junior ior Class Play. The cast under the direction of Miss M. M. Feyereisen worked hard for many weeks to put on this play which proved to be very successful. On May 21, 1954, the junior-Senior Prom, the big event of the year, was held at the Gilbert Community Center. A gay atmosphere pervaded the building as class president .lack Lakso led the grand march. That night for both Juniors and Seniors will remain as one of the high-lites. This past year, the Class of 1955 has proven to be very successful in all of its projects, may they attain as much success in the year and years to come.

After the usual chatterbox session which pre- ceded the opening of the school year, the freshmen of 1952 and 1953 took their first steps into the Senior High School and were instantly transformed into the sophomore class of 1955 and 1954. To the auditorium they then went to hear the ring-out-the-old, ring-in-the-new oration of Mr. Kaczrowski. Soon they began to delve into the red tape of the opening days. Class schedules were organ- ized, homeroom teachers appointed, and books given to the eager, hardworking students of the sophomore class. The 10-A students found their home-room teacher to be Miss Feyereiseng the 10-B class found theirs to be Mr. Anderson. The newly formed class then set about to electing class officers and Student Council members. The lucky students chosen to govern the class were: Betty Mohar, president, Ellen Keller, vice presidentg Marlene Sny- der, secretaryg and Joe Russ, treasurer. Nominated and elected to the Student Council were Betty Sissila, Ellen Keller, Roberta Ahlin, joe Russ, and Richard jarvinen. To increase the volume of their already bursting coffers, the sophomores set about to the task of selling pins during the football season. They also had a cork gun gallery in the junior's carnival, which popped up by a few dollars the total amount of money in their Little Fort Knox . Activities have been given a beating by the tenth graders. Musically inclined students get a chance to shoot their toots in the band, orchestra and in the vocal groups. The girls have been active in the annual queen contests, while the boys let off steam in the junior Rifle Club and on the basketball court. Thus far, the trainees of the drivers class have passed their road exams, and received their licenses. This means safer drivers, and an increase in the sales of Model T's and Model A's . Mr. Anderson and Miss Feyereisen want the soph- omore class to be nothing but tops, and with their able advising, the new-comers to the senior high have accomplished a lot. Seniors were made for great things, juniors were made for small. But no one has yet figured out Why sophomores were made at all.
