? Senior Class History Looking beck to tie fall of 1942, we see five anxious and determined first graders on the way to their first day of school. They were Shirley Krueger, Lois Tack, Kervin Van Tiger, La Vern Corporon, and Clo Ann 'filler. Due to the fact that many entered and left during the grade school year; , the history of the class will he omitted until the year of 1°46, when the class numhc-r increased to nine. The fifth grade class then consisted of Vaneta Greiner, Shirley Krueger, Richard Everding, THayne Eraun, Gene V alk, La Vern Corporon, Don- ald Krueger, Elizabeth Steiger and Clo Ann Miller. During the seventh grade year Vaneta Greiner and Lichara Everding left the class--th.en there were seven. The following year the class moved into the assembly as eighth graders. They were a bit shy, which was just a start of high school preparation’. Three left with eighth grade grad- uation; they were La Vern Corporon, vho took up his high school career in Manly, and Gene walk and v ayne Eraun, who 3 eft school to farm. Gnly four were left to become full-pledged freshmen in the fall of 1950. Perhaps the small class lured Melvin Heaps to enter just three days before initat:on. Having five in tne class made it even more interesting, and it was hard to see him leave again near the end of the freshman year. He journeyed to St. Ansper to finish high school. Ti.e class of four remained the same for two years, and see- irg half of ti em leave after the junior year was hard for the two remsinirg. Don Krueger decided that farming hit his fancy better than school hooks, and Shirley Krueger found her senior year de- sirable 5r; Mason City along with housekeeping as Mrs. Le hoy Schmidt. '75th only two remaining, Elizabeth Steiger and Clo Ann Mill- er, tie class is still anneus and determined to graduate even though it is one of the. smallest classes of G. Ii. S.
