BERGEE B,A, Luther College, L,L,B, American Extension, Uni- versity of Minnesotag Superinten- dent. To the Class of 1955: Congratulations and best wishes for a successful sojourn into manhood and womanhood. The line between success and failure is very thin. With just a little more effort, a little more patience we may achieve success. There is no defeat ex- ceDt in no longer trying. Some may be asking for another chance to rectify the mistakes we have made--but for all of you TOMORROW brings you another chance. May God bless you on your way. Q96 nal CARL E. KLEIMOLA B.E. White- water State TeachersCo1lege, M.A. University of Minnesotag Principalg Social Sc'ience. One ship sails east, another west, With the self-same winds that blow: 'Tis the set of the sails, and not the gales, That determines where they go. One of the many fascinating mira- cles of nature is to see two sailboats gliding in opposite directions, impelled by the same breeze. It is also intriguing to watch two students, exposed to the same influences in the same highschool, follow fundamentally different courses after graduation. Why isit that the same environment produces such different re- sults? What is the set of your sails? Is your course so charted that your voyage through life will be fruitful and pro- ductive, regardless of the gales that blow? As the poet has pointed out, you can, ina large measure, determine your own destiny by the way you respond the influences you meet every day.

Our student coun- cil representatives were Gary Tor- bert, Forrest Broderius, Mary Mc- Call and Darlene Anderson. Advising us throughout the year were Mr. Don- ald Estenson and Mrs. Ruth Bergee. The Homecoming celebration, held September 23, 1954, was our first big affair of the year. We were proud of our king and queen,Ian Ahl and Evelyn Polesky, who reigned over the cele- bration.

Hector easily won over Fairfax, Brownton, Sacred Heart, and Bird Island, Buffalo Lake proved to be a strong defensive team as they held the Bulldogs to only 7 points. Stewart was the next to bow to the Bulldogs with a 20-7 victory. The most exciting game of the season came when Renville and Hector clashed on the local gridiron for the conzerence championship, Both teams were previously untied and undefeated. The game ended with a 13-13 tie with Hector and Renville as co-champions of the 212 Conference. The last game of the season was played at Hector with Danube.

On November 19 and 20, the Junior Class looked into the future to the year 2050 when the women had taken over in business, industry, and govern- ment. Ah! Men! was a satirical 3 act comedy. One of the key incidents in the plot was the dis- covery of an island where men were still supreme in authority. As a result of one of the men coming to the aid of the United States, and then getting his army to assist him, the nation was saved-and so were the men. This was another in the long list of successful plays produced in the Hector Community High School.

Samba 37549 s 747 The final play production for the class of 55 was Seventeen Is Terrific , which was given on April 15 and 16 in the high school auditorium. Poor Dr. Allenby suffered from sore feet and from a family which was hard to manage. Chuck, his son, was allergic to money and much of the play centered around Chuck's effort to raise S55 for the spring dance so he could take his girl friend, Gin- ny. Hugo Jarvis also had his eye on Ginny which raised many entertaining situations. The seniors enjoyed presenting the play and from the laughs which it received, the audience enh it, too. 1' I I 1 77 Q .awiivigff - Y' 544446 2945242 FIRST ROW: left to right: Loren Paul, Melvin lseminger, Dallas Waldner, Jim Keltgen, Gaile Leimer, Grant Leff, Duane Kamrath,JerryHable,Donald VanderVoort,JamesJohnson, Paul Ehlers, Carl Buboltz.
