Class History Due to the fact that there were no Seniors who attended grade school all eight years here in Hildreth, we cannot locate nor remember our complete history. This is why we will begin with the year 1949 when we were Freshmen with Fifteen in our class. The members of this proud class were Bill Headley, Verleen Hollingshead, Mary Jane Hansen, and Lloyd Putman all of Hildreth; also Gerald Loschen, Gerald Westerbuhr, Dale Bunger, Denzel Frerichs, Arlene Schmidt, and Carol Mae Bunger from school dis- tricts surrounding Hildreth. Lawrence Fruhling hailed from way down yonder near Orleans, Nebraska, and from the good old Macon Prairie were Eunice Adam, Caroline Adam, Richard Rohnke, and Vern Johnson. During the Freshman year Verleen left our class and Vern Johnson did not attend school any longer when we were Sophomores. The urge to farm that good old black soil seized him. Gerald Loschen dropped out of our class when he was a Sophomore. At the second semester of the Junior year Bill Headley found better opportunities in the Navy. Lawrence Lippstreu spied the Hildreth High School when he was a Junior and decided he would give it a try. He made up for all the losses we had. That made our Junior Class in 1950-51 a class of twelve members. This year we came back as Seniors and have not regretted that we continued to go to school here. Many happy hours along with a few trying ones were found here but that is what makes life interesting. We have made many friends and when we turn back the pages of time Hildreth will be a high spot;!! 11

Class Prophecy Ten years have elapsed since the Senior Class of 1«52 in Hildreth High School graduated. I, Lawrence Lippstreu, am a traveling salesman. During my tour of the United States selling life insurance I have en- countered all my fellow classmates. As I was traveling through the West I came across a beautiful ranch and thought that the owner of it would surely want some insurance. I was very surprised when I stood face to face with the owner, Denzel Frerichs. As I recall, he always did want to own a big ranch. Wmle I was traveling through Nebraska I stopped in Hildreth. 1 was curious about what my former classmates were doing so I inquired about them. I was told that Gerald was the pastor of Emmanuel’s Lutheran Cnurch which is south of Hildreth, so I decided to attend his Sunday morning service. At first I was only interested in Gerald's success as a minister. Later, I looked around and I saw Lamoine and Eunice sitting with three small children. I had always thought they would marry. After the service I had a nice chat with her. She informed me that Mary Jane was happily married and living on a small farm near Minden. Both Richard and Dale were engaged in the prominent occupation of farming. So after visiting these classmates I journeyed on trying to sell more insurance. By the way I made some profitable sales in the Hildreth vicinity. My occupation now took me to a small town near Lincoln.
