A large number of recruits turned out for training with 10 lettermen returning from last year. The in- experienced squad trained vigorously which brought results and improvement with each game under the able assistance of Coach Harry Salisbury. The Burros won over Cooperstown and lost to Larimore, Casselton and Mayville. The Burros gave these three schools some very tough competition.

em of '48 Remember that first day when forty- four Greenhorns,' gallantly marched thru the halls of Old Hillsboro Hin amid the stares and glares of the upper classmen. At the time we thought the initiation was quite an ordeal but now we know how the Sophomures got by with it. We sometimes wonder how we survived that first day with the bells ringing every forty-five min- utes and a lecture from each new teacher on how to conduct ourselves. And how many times did we bump into opening doors when we shouldn't have been in the hall in the first place? After we were officially initiated into the school by the Sophomores we immediately settled down to electing class officers which were as follows: Presi- dent, Kay Kelly, Vice President, Harold Sorleyg Secretary, Romie Pederson, Treas- urer, Dona Nustad, and Class Advisor, Mr. Elster. Once we had our class in order we started to collect dues which we spent on a return party for the Sophomores. At the end of this, our first year, we found our class had decreased to thirty-four. The second year in high school started pretty much in the same manner as the first, the only difference being that it was our turn to do the initiating. The Freshmen talk to us this year, they're Juniors now. Once more we elected class officers who were: President, Lyle Pederson, Vice Presi- dent, Kathryn Hanson, Secretary, Mary Ball-:ang Treasurer, Vernon Rust. and Class Advisor, Miss Modin. We now numbered thirty-two. The Junior year was started with elec- tion of class officers who were as follows: President, Wilma Mollerstromg Vice Presi- dent, Jack Hovlanclg Secretary, Agatha Kuntzg Treasurer, Alice Overboe, and Class Advisor, Mr. Dyrud. Our class play, So Help Me, given in April, was a real suc- cess. In May we gave a prom at the Armory for the Seniors. Its theme was Candy Canes and Hearts and, although it was hard to decorate such a big building with such little hearts and canes, we managed to change the whole appearance of the place. This, our last year, started with a bunch of busy bees buzzing 'bout business in gen- eral. Our class officers are: President, An- ton Gunderson, Vice President, Mary Bal- kan, Secretary, Ruth Peterson, Treasurer, Barbara Engel, and Class Advisor, Mr. Dahl. Again this year we presented a very suc- cessful play, Star Crazy. As Seniors we have been very active throughout the entire year. Everyone has taken part in the publication of our school paper, School Daze. The Senior boys have been active in athletics during the four years. We have taken great interest in every fall carnival and have done our utmost to help make them successes which they have been. Many of our classmates have also been band members. Our roll call has decreased to twenty- six. This, our last year, has been the short- est, but in our minds it will remain the most important because when we go on May 28 to receive our diplomas we will have proved to ourselves as well as to others that our efforts have not been in vain.
