? 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.

19 Senior Class Will 5 4 V e, the two seniors of the class of 19! 4, leave to the under- classmen, some of our qualities, both good and bad. May they find them beneficial or otherwise, v;e wish them the best of luck with everything they obtain. I, Clo Ann Miller, with no comment on whether or not I am or am not of sound mind and body (because that is unknown) do hereby be- queath the following to the underclassmen. To my sister Sondra, I leave my basketball suit, hoping she is more worthy of it than her sis, My ability to gain lots of weight fast, I leave to my slim waisted pal Ruthie (Buechele). To my pal Gwen, I leave my teeth, so she won't need the false ones she insists on having. To Bev Bork, my ability to say no when asked to go away at nites when I really want to. To Peg Krider, the ability to slide out of getting the much deserved dio- kens when I'm late to everything. To cousin Maxine Trettin, the ability to learn how to play Old Maid and end out with that card every time . To Jan Wahl I will my ability to learn a new dance step and forget it by the next song. To Bob Wilde and Gene Nack I leave my diets—with pastries and pies—for a few extra pounds'. To Clyde Glassel the ability to loose the cap off the gas tank on our pickup. To Dick Dalluge, Larry Dalluge and Jerry Buechele, I can't think of anything that I can leave, as I haven't reached a satisfactory speed in typing yet. To Ruby Hinsman, I leave my watch, and all the bills that go with it. To Ken Nitcher my place in band, and to George the ability to place a '3 Chevy in the ditch from loose gravel. To Her- man Berding the ability to help cut (or disect rather) the snake in Biology Lab and not pass out'. Concluding, I will to Marjorie Bartz the biggest asset of student life, starting the life of an Old Maid out rightlI I, Elizabeth Steiger, being of unsound mind and body, do hereby bequeath a few things to the underclassmen.

Or have they attained that already and not told anyone about i.t? My place in the sextet to the girl that wants it, my place in glee club to any boy that wants it. My good times at Parties to Jan Hartwig, Jan Wahl, Phyllis White, Marge Bartz, and whoever they invite to the party! Also to Jan Hartwig, the good battery from Earl's car, she knows what to do with it. Everything else that I have I'll be needing, so everyone will have to be satisfied, We, Elizabeth and Clo Ann, leave all of our good times in the Senior Class Meetings to the Junior Class, our friendship to Clarice Kruger and Phyllis White, and to everyone returning to High School next year we say — Go ahead and crab, we did it for four years'.!'.
