with us to the end. As we call the roll at the end of this lap, we find Frank Jensen and Richard Seaman have fallen by the wayside. Again we resu.med our adventurous way as sophomores but found Joan Jergens was absent from our file at the starting line. We continued under the same supervisor, G. W. Berrier, with Mrs., R. A. Holm, Herman Wilken, and Erwin Jones, his helping staff. Our company, now only seven, assembled to proceed down the trail through our junior year but were confronted with a complete change of guides, Superintendent O. B. Taylor, Clarence Hartman, and Jean Blessing. The same party continued down the homeward trail but here we reached our goal another member, Virgil Burris dropped from our group. Another change in guides gave us the efficient leadership of Superintendent Robert Bellis with the aid of Herman Wilken, Roy Roed, and Mary Garver, whose physical condition forced her to abandon the trail and her duties were placed in the hands of Mrs. Hein. Now with the never failing interest and assistance of this faculty, we, the class of 1950, numbering six, three girls, Marjorie Wolcott, Doris Nelson, Gladys Odland, and three boys, Elden Lanning, Dean Hoag, and Eldon Jacobsen, are approach- ing the end of the trail. We will climax this journey's end at our commencement exercises, May ll, 1950.
