V. 1 : ? hi' Q 215: Q 2' 5 P' CLASS H ISTO IQV September, 1952, found eleven students registering at GTHS as FRESHMEN. Six girls and five boys, eager to begin their first year of high school, composed this class. Of course, as always, there has to be some bi t t e r with the sweet. That came when we became the laughing stock of Good Thunder on initiation day. The girls were dressed in men's Coveralls, worn inside-out and backwards, and rubbers on their feet. The boys wore women's blouses, skirts and high heeled shoes. Everyone carried a teddybear and a baby bottle with a nipple. Upon sight of a sopho- more we were ordered to fall on our knees and drink from the baby bottle. To add to the fun the sophomores gave us a party that night. About a month later we took our revenge when we sponsored the freshmen return party. Our SOPHOMORE year began with the subtraction of three members from our class. They were Jim Hiller, Glen Schneiderhan and Margaret Shonyo. Now it was our turn to initiate the green fresh- men just one class below us. We in turn were guests at a freshmen return party given by the freshmen. Then we were JUNIORS. This year started with the loss of another member, Marlin Ro-sin, leaving only seven in the class. Mem- orable events of our junior year were the Minstrel Show and the jun- ior-senior banquet at the Burton Hotel after which we saw the show, Bridges of Toko-Ri. Our SENIOR year has been the most exciting of all. A maga- zine drive, the junior-senior class play, A Date With Judy, a visit to the State Hospital in St. Peter, visiting our local First National Bank, a trip to the Ice Follies and a banquet given us by the juniors. and our class trip to Chicago were just some of the events to be long remembered. We also had'to choose our motto, flower, and colors. And, of course, we can't forget that big night of Commencement, June 1. Our high school days certainly have been memorable ones that we shall cherish as long as we live. We all hope the future graduat- ing classes of GTHS can take with them as many memories as we are. :z U-Eli-gg --A 9 ' - 2- . C' as A EEE H s Q!! e v.v.vJ.v.vs!!N.V.UsJ.v.vmN.IUNN.v.!!qN!NNm!.!M!-VM!
