Senior Class Poem Here are the facts about a cl 5s alive. The Senior Class of 55 Helen Adam is a brain in our class. There's seldom a test she doesn’t pass. Rodney Hinrichs, slim and tall, Plays his trumpet for all. Pretty and smart, that’s Leola Frerichs, She’d be a pin-up in any army barracks! ! Don Wilken is a real nice guy, He’s going to be a minister by and by. Wanda Frerichs, is everyone’s pal; We all know that she’s Wayne’s gal. Gordon Loschen can really jump and run, When he hears the sound of that track gun. Marva Ann Fritson studies real hard, But still she’s lots of fun and everybody’s pard Don and Ron Kruse, twins, and on the basketball five, Play, pass, and shoot with lots of jive. Maxine Casper’s a talkative little gal, And is everyone’s Pal. Dick Fuerst is tall and silly, But we all like him ’ rilly. Carol Jean Hansen never has much to say, But she gets good grades anyway. Jerry Johnson is always full of fun and mischief. But to the teachers he’s just one big grief'. Donna Mae Schmidt lives on a farm, She works hard and doesn’t do anyone any harm. Gene Frerichs plays the tuba in band, And if anybody needs help he’s there to give a hand. Janet Johnson is a cute little chick, She’s going to make some guy heartsick. Denny Reil is tall, dark, and Handsome, Many a girl would like to hold him for ransom. ron Whipple 16 Sharron Whipple is going to be a farmers’ wife, And live happily the rest of her life.

Class History In 1943 the September school term rolled around. Eight cute little ornery young- sters started their first day of school. What a happy bunch we were; Those who made up this group were: Maxine Casper, Janet Johnson, Don Kruse, Pon Kruse, Carol Hansen, Barbara Lantz, Dick Fuerst, and Merlyn Rahmann. At the second semester we gained Wanda Frerichs. Our teacher was Miss Leona Glenn. Miss Glenn with the same youngsters returned in the fall of ‘44 for the enrollment of the second grade. Upon entering the third grade we lost Wanda Frerichs who went to country school for a few years. Rodney Hinrichs and Gene Frerichs decided to come to Hildreth to fur- ther their education, so we gained the last of the second semester. Miss LaVina Kleen had the privilege of teaching us. In the 4th grade we started off into a year of adventure and excitement, with Joy Hendricksen as our teacher. This year we gained Glen Duis. The eleven of us continued on through the fifth grade, with Verna Vannier helping us to gain more knowledge. In the sixth year, Maxine Casper, Janet Johnson, Barbara Lantz, Carol Hansen, Merlyn Rahmann, Dick Fuerst, Gene Frerichs, Rodney Hinrichs, Ron Kruse, Don Kruse, made up the ornery bunch. Dwaine Ostebuhr joined us and we had the same teacher. Wanda Frerichs, Val Jean Quadhamer, and Paul Harms, joined us our seventh year. We lost Dwaine Osterbuhr. At the beginning of the eighth grade Barbara Lantz moved to Colorado. Howard Glenn was our teacher for both 7th and 8th grades. After eight long years of waiting, that moment arrived when we could walk up the high school steps along with new friends and classmates, from the country. Our lively group consisted of: Marva Ann Fritson, Helen Adam, Maxine Casper, Leola Frerichs, Wanda Frerichs, Janet Johnson, Carol Hansen, Merlyn Rahmann, Donna Schmidt, Val Jean Quadhamer, Don Kruse, Ron Kruse, Dick Fuerst, Paul Harms, Rodney Hinrichs, Denny Reil, Glen Duis, Gordon Loschen, Jerry Johnson, Gene Frerichs, and Don Wilken. In our Sophomore year we lost Glen Duis as he decided to move to Oklahoma. Sharron Whipple joined us in our Junior year. On entering our last and most exciting year we lost Val Jean who moved to Minden. We now had the name we longed for, “full Fledged Seniors.' After Commencement Exercises on May 19th, when we receive our diplomas, and turn our tassels, a night which we will never forget, we are now ready to enter into a world unknown, ready to face our future, on our own, but not alone. 17
