Now that the class of '50 has seen each other, we realize that each one of us has made a place for ourselves in the world. As our barge hit the icy waters of Gibraltar, we agreed to hold an Alumni banquet in another ten years to see what another ten years win do for us. ' , l A Class History In September, 1946, forty-six Freshmen started their cruise up the river with their main objective being to reach its mouth, or graduation, by May, 1950. The crew was composed of Eugene Baedke, Avery Bonstead, Elaine Brobst, Floyd Chrestianson, Joan Christianson, Agnes Dalen, Catherine Elsenbast, Delores Fisher, Josephine Fitzpatrick, Donna Jean Flannegan, Maynard Holland, Donald Iverson, Richard Jensen, Catherine King, Mary Kirkegaard, Mavis Knutsen, Vera Mammen, Mary Lou Marine, Janet Marxen, Marlene McDonald, Patrick McDonald, Gene McDonald, Gwendolyn McWilliams, Duane Munson, Donald Oleson, Ronald Olson, Arvid Peterson, Jack Platter, Shirley Rasmussen, John Reynolds, Norris Rierson, Lois Sandvig, Richard Schaney, Myrtle Simonsen, LeRoy Skow, Beryl Starkey, Robert Thomsen, lone Tonderum, James Voigt, Kenneth Vollmert, Edna Westergard, Betty Westergard, Donald Westfall, Mary Wolfe, Shirley Young, and LaDon Zitterick. The fall of 1947 found that seven of them had been taken by the current and were no longer with us. They were Agnes Dalen, Gene McDonald, Duane Munson, John Reynolds, Richard Schaney, Kenneth Vollmert, and Edna Westergard. Two new members, Fred Wilken, and Merle Meyers were added to our crew. When our cruise was half completed, the fall of 1948 found that three more of our loyal crew members had left us. They were Marlene McDonald, Patrick McDonald, and Donald Westfall. Two crew members had become tired of their names, so they changed them from Elaine Brobst to Elaine Reynolds, and from Mary Kirkegaard to Mary Hanson, respectively. Also we found that three seamen had joined us. They were Doris Baxter, Bill Reynolds, and Bob Gile. There were now forty-one in the crew to start the second half of our cruise. Our last stretch, which began in September, 1949, found that our crew ,had not changed much, only that Bob Gile and Merle Meyers had gone and another one of our crew members changed her name from Mary Wolfe to Mary Hash. And so ends the voyage which we began hopefully four years ago. In spite of the storms and tempests, we have successfully completed our journey and are now ready to take our places in the big, wide world. Z3
