In those moments, we sense instinctively what lies at the root of life and what does not. Commencement for the Class of 1954 is but a station along the road. It reminds us that certain values have been built, and these values will sooner or later be tried. How you have built will de- termine which of these things will help you to live and which of these will make you stumble. Our hope for each of you is that you have succeeded in storing up those values which will mean a rich, a full life. mt ssrst trrs 2 Dear Members of the 1954 Senior Class: We should at this time stop and take inventory. Have we made good use of our time? Each one of us are given twenty-four hours every day. There are times when we feel that the time goes too fast for us and can not get the things done that we want to do. There are times when you wish time would go by faster so you get to a certain goal at an earlier date, However, we find that when we set our pace with the God-given hours we will march right along with the day happily, and we will accomplish the honest tasks set before us. Let us take the days as they come livinga full life of service, and I am sure each one of you will be an asset in your chosen field. QPM r CARL E. KLEIMOLA B.E.

SENIOR CLASS HISTORY We, as seniors, shall always remember that day in 1950 when we started out, as freshman, to reach our goal. On that first day our minds were filled with wonder but our hearts held anxiety and eagerness. After we had been assigned to our homeroom and had become acquainted with our advisers, Miss Shirley Lill- jestrale and Mr. Knutson, we had election of class officers. Layne Schiebel was elected presidentg Harley Ander- son, vice president: Elaine Weber,secretaryg Barbara Reuber, treasurer. Joan Anderson and David Spreiter repre- sented us on the student council. Many happy events followed, but the one we shall remember the most is when our float won first prize in the Homecoming parade. Out sophomore year was filled with enthusiasm and anticipation. Orville Hable and Keith Laffen were elected president and vice president. Joan Bargman took our minutes while Jean Clark took care of our financial matters. Jim Mathison and Layne Schiebel were student council representatives. Mrs. Ruth Bergee and Mr. Wayne Dietz were our advisers. This year we decorated the gymnasium for Homecoming with a Fall theme. For our class trip we went to the Twin Cities to visit some of the important buildings and industries. We started our junior year with 42 members. With the help of our advisers, Miss Norma Stene and Mr. Delbert Jones, the class was well organized and Darlene Niles was chosen as president. The vice president elected was Elaine Weber. Mary Kloempken and James Ericson had their duties to perform as secretary and treasurer. Joan Anderson and David Spreiter represented our class on the student council. ln the fall of our junior year, one of our classmates, James Mathison, passed away. The first big event of the year came whenwe presented our play. The Babysitter, on November 21 and 22, under the direction of Mr. Jones. The play was a great success. Another exciting event for us was the choosing of our class rings. Then came the Junior -Senior Prom. After much discussion and planning we decided on the theme, Moonlight Mood. The annual banquet and prom was held on May 9. We 35 seniors began our year with many new activities. David Spreiter was elected president with Harley Anderson as his assistant. Joan Anderson and Barbara Reuber had their share of responsibilities as secretary and treasurer. Darlene Niles, Jean Clark, Elaine Weber, and Joan Bargman were our student council representatives. We had Mrs. Linnea McCall and Mr. Delbert Jones advising us throughout the year. The Homecoming ce1ebration,he1d October 26,was our first big event of the year. Our king and queen, David Spreiter and Jean Clark,reigned over the celebration. They were attended by the candidates, Elaine Weber, Joan Anderson, Marjorie Anderson, Darlene Niles, Richard Rick, Gail Ryberg, Jim Ericson, and Harley Anderson. That night we were pleased when we scored a victory over Buffalo Lake. Throughout the year we seniors sponsored such events as: food sales, candy sales, and aturkey andaroast beef dinner. We also sponsored the world champion All American all girls Red Headed basketball team. The biggest of these events was our class play, Beauty and the Beef, May 7 and 8. It was a successful production. On May 1 we were guests of the juniors at the Junior-Senior Prom which was held in the cafeteria and audi- torium. It was a gay occasion and we all enjoyed ourselves very much. The goal of our school days, Graduation, was held on May 27th. The climax to our years of school came with our trip to Washington, D. C. and New York City. It was an ex- perience that will long be remembered by all of us. As we look back on our school days we shall always cherish memories of our class and its teamwork. These cherished memories may grow dim but will never die. 10 MARJORIE ANDERSON F. H.
