1940 THE OWLITE Paget TWELFTH GRADE In the year 1936, thirty-tliree green fresh- men started high school. Three Weelcs later they were initiated. The girls wore their dresses backwards while the 'boys wore their shirts back- wards and laced their shoes backwards. Every time they met a senior they had to bow and say Honorable Senior and various other embar- rassing things. Two new mo-vefmlents were started during this eventful year. The six-y-ear high school plan was adopted, requiring twelve credits in the junior high ,school and also twelve in the last three years, the senior high school. One junior high party was given by the class during their first year. The party consisted o-f dancing, with Miss Newstrom, the class adviser, playing the violin and Miss Solomo-nson playing the piano. During this year Donald Domek was the class presidentg Patricia Estensen was vice president: and Betty Blackmun was secretary-treasurer. The following year the class was less timid and very anxious to begin new subjects. Three new members, Irene Allenspach, Loren Rud, and Le Roy Rud, joined the class. During the three years of senior high school, Mr. Loken w class adviser. The class gave a party during ge fall, and the gymnasium was deco-rated with yellow and brown. The new electric phonograph fur- nished music for the party. During this year Donald Domek was presidentg Loren Rud was vice presidentg and Betty Blackmtun was again secretary-treasurer. In the junior year the class came back look- ing forward to all the new activities they would participate in that year. A new student came to the class in November-Rose Ellen McCarthy. In November a party was given in the afternoon with hot dogs and cocoa being served for lunch about .five o'c1ock. The juniors also gave the Christmas party on the last day of classes before Christmas. Late in January the class again gave a dancing party in the industrial arts room While the sophomores were engaged in a skating party on the school rink. Of course, the greatest event of the year for the juniors was the junior play, It Happened in Hollywood. Mr. Helmerl was the director of the play. A large number of juniors had speaking parts in the play while the remainder of the class were on the production staff for the play. Dorothy Slwenson was the student director, and Frank Fiedler was the stage manager. Early in the spring the class ring was chosen. so that the members of the class would have- them when they returned to school in Septemlber as twelfth graders. On May 13 the juniors gave a banquet for' the graduating class and faculty. Ships, anchors an-d fish carried out the navy theme and the senior colors, navy blue and gold. During the dinner the senior will and the junior prophecy' of the seniors was read besides other musical numbers. Eighteen lmvembers of the original class came- back to complete their last year of high school- Two new members of the group were Delbert Giese and Milton Giese, who had gone to Hollo- way high school for three years previously. Many of the class took advantage of the new' commercial course which was offered this year, bookkeeping. Again the class gave the Christmas party in the afternoon, passing out gifts and giving the pupils candy and nuts. In January of this year Miss Waite, the commercial teacher, left Han- cock, and Mr. Heimlerl took over her commercial classes and Miss Swenson took the social studies and girls' physical education. 'Climaxing the activities of the year for the class, the senior class play was given on April 22' under the direction of Mr. Heimerl. A more serious play, The Last of the Ruthvens, was given, this year. On May 23 the commencement activities concluded the high school career of the class of 1940. The students Who started in 19316 as ninth graders, that did not graduate with the class of 1940 for various reasons were: Alvin Carlson, Arthur Eby, Donald Heil, Leonard Hoffman, Mae Jensen, Alvin Krupke, Dorothy Mae Osterman, Naomli Rau, Gloria Reitz, George Spahn, Lloyd' Engefbretson, Irene Allenspach, Betty Eckstein, Doris Schmidgall, Loren and LeRaoy Rud, Lee' Nieland, and Leone Nieland, Honor students graduating were: Betty Blackmun, Vera Floss, Verne Delp, Frances Bou- ma, Jane West, and Milton Giese.
