SENIOR CLASS HISTORY The Senior Class of 51 began their freshman year with ten pupils. They were as follows: Harriet Christians, Phyllis Boeset. Dick Kuehn, Ramona Nack, Phyllis Trettin, Mardell May, Ellsworth Greiner, Betty L3 f ka, Lucille Schultz and Vivian Horton. Vivian left during the second semester of the freshman year. During the sophomore year we lost Ellsworth Greiner who moved to Saint Ansgar and Betty Lifka who moved near Stacyville. We lost no more classmates in the Junior year, but the following sum- er Lucille Schultz moved to Mason City. We now find six intelligent and industrious pupils finishing their last year of high school. At the head of the class is Richard Kuehn, Vetter krown as Dick”. He plays trombone in the band and center on the basketball team. He is the one voted most likely to succeed. His ambition is to become a doctor and have a pretty little nurse named Delores. Next in line is Mardell May, who claims she is the ouiet type, but she isn't fooling anyone. She plays in the band and is a guard on the basketball tesm. Her ambition is to become 8 teacher although she spends alot of her time be- hind the grainery. Following is Ramona Nack who plays forward on the B. B. team. She plans on going to I. S. T. C. to become a grade school teacher. Her favorite subject is Home Ec., where she is learning the essential art of horcemaking. Her favorite expression is I'm not taking any chances . Next is Phyllis Trettin, who also plays In the band and is a guard on the B. B. team. She plans on going to college to become a grade school teacher. It doesn't look like she is going to make this a life time profession. She spends alot of her time filling her hope chest. We now find Phyllis Boeset, who played basketball for a number of years but gare it up this year. She is noted for her ability to get along with the coach. Phyllis is the only one in the class who isn't certain about going to college. By the looks of things so far, she has a pretty good chance of being a house wife on a farm northeast of Grafton. Last but not least we hare Harriet Christians, who plays pivot forward on the B. B. team, and who also plsns on going to I. S. T. C. She says she is taking up Physical Training and Agriculture. Looks like Kermie is going to har e alot of help.
