Page Five HIT-HI-STAR CLASS HISTORY Stop world! and look at the Seniors of 1929. Is it not hard to realize that we, as green freshmen of 1925 were ever able to possess a scroll ol paper- a dl- ploma? Well we accomplished it, new-er the less. We entered the Freshmen Class on one of those sunny September mornings in 1925. Very humbly we passed into the assembly having the honor to succeed the ex-freshmen wh-o had thus lar so nobly advanced. At the time of our entrance into high school we didnt have any very intimate associates so we didn't know the very high ideals of some of our classmates. Who would have thought then that Russell Wahl would some day be eight feet high-to be looked up to as a very capable basket ball player. We did know, however, that Marie lvleyer excelled in literature and up to this day she has not lost a par- ticle of it. So if she puts out a book don't be so surprised. ' About the first thing, we did in the Freshmen class was to electiofficers. The election came off without any disorder at the polls. Then came the initiation which, I am sure we will never forget, probably because we survived to re- member it. The fact that Mr, Nicolson was able to pound Algebra into our heads for a whole term and not get a nervous breakdown is m 11 than we.. can comprehend Our other teache s thi y ar were Mr lrers is r General Science and Glee Club Miss Eneebiet on lor Lnglish I and Sylvester . U 1 ei' 5. HL. - A V ' instructed us in Home,Ec. I andolllzysical Edi The Freslfiiffiiin nlfeizrri -1-lartyf' must not be forgotten especially the eats. wg . 14 v In the fall of 1926 we took our places in the assembly as' S-ophomores'fe . greatly superior to the Freshmen Class. We went through the same businessffg-I electing officers. Harvey Melbye being chosen as our president, with Miss 61- son as -our class advisor. This year Miss Mattson instructed us in English Il' and Miss Olson in Home Ee. II, Modern History and Geometry. We were taught various rules con- cerning right angles, alternate angles, etc., but we don't know yet where the angle-worm comes in! This year we enjoyed the ireshman initiation even more probably because we saw our followers undergo si:..iliar torture. In the fall of 1927 we very proudly entered Hitterdal High as Juniors. Marie Meyer was elected president, Vivienne Oss, vice president, and Hazel Hansen Secretary and Treasurer. This fall we missed many famiiar faces who had been members of our Sophomore class. Julia Viltsaas, Esther Sahlberg, Dorothy Gunderson, Evelyn Westlin, Kenneth Mitdahl and Willie Nelson failed to come back. Wliilie wrote a poem of regret in leaving our class. ' The new teachers this year were lVIr. Hanson, Mr. Brewster'and Miss Miller. In our Junior year we preented the play Smile, Rodney, Smile. A great deal of credigfis given to Miss Mattson Ior its success for she coached us with un- tiring e ort. In the fall of 1928 we were again assembled t sume our sch-ool duties. This year with more enthusiasm than ever for this ' s our last year together. The following class officers were elected: p-resident, Charles Jahr, vice presi- dent, AlmadLysengg secretary and treasurer, John Schultz with Mr. Hanson as our class a visor. ' ' Our new teachers this year were Miss Creswell our English and French teacher also Glee Club director and Miss Malvey as home Ec. III instructor. This year we presented to an enormous audience the play, Nothing But The Truth which in itself was a success due to Mr. Hanson's splendid coaching. For our class colors we chose Emerald Green and Gold and our class flower is the Yellow Tea Rose. We chose as our motto, Nm Learned but Learning. , We have participated in many entertainments alnng with the rest of the high school and i'a.culty, the most original of thge being the straw stack burn. E5 . We, as seniors of 1929 rejoice at finishing school' here: yet we sadly regret leaving our schoolmates, teachers and school activities. Each individual in our class, I am sure, has done his best and we hope that our good will and class spirit may be imbued into the hearts of our fellow schoolmates. r .-..... 1-

Page Nine HIT-HI-STAR .4 ?' l,. V, ,nu CLASS PROPHECY Sitting one eve in my s-oft easy chair, The gum was eternal and never had a flaw All at once the walls and the room seemed bare, And a clear, crystal globe suspended hung Before my gaze, and a radiance flung, And deep in the crystalis clear embrace I saw the future face to face. Listless 'at first I must confess, Till I recognized faces of H. H. S. Then I sat e1'ect with watchful eye, For now I could truthfully QU prophesy, And a load of care from my shoulde'rs slumped, For that class prophecy had for days had me stumped. With wonder I gazed and withhiwe beheld The faces of those I had kn-ownsof old, lt seemed that of years, about thirty had fled, Since I to my classmates goodbye had said, As we left forever our dear Hitterdal High, With a sigh on our lips and a tear in our eye. The village of Hitterdal now metropolis grown, Was known o'er the earth for its children's renown. D-own its wide boulevard with flags bedecked Came a great procession I was fain to inspect. Far in advance on a mettlesome steed, A herald called out for all the people to heed That this day, for Hitterdal, had been proclaimed A Home Coming Day for those who were famed, And who once graduated according to rule From various classes in the local high school. As each car passed by a legend appeared, That informed the concourse how each personage fared. Looking closer to see who the herald might be I noted, tho olde1', a close resemblance to me. But the h-orse pranced on and I was feign to see, Who in the procession might be known to me. Leading the procession, as I am alive, Came a banner bearing 'tTlie Class of '29 And close following the banner in 'a limousine gay Came May-or of Hitterdal, the noted Harvey Melbye, Who once had been our prexy, and full of odd tricks, But now rises high in state politics. Close followed a Rolls Royce -of green and gold, And a cheer arose as onward it rolled. Within was Otto Nybakken with hair dark and wavy, Famed Rear Admiral of the Swiss Navy. Seated beside llignwwith looks sad and harried Was the author ofa best sel'er, How To Be Happy Tho' Married On acc-ount of her sadness I gazed at her some And w startled to see that it was La Vanche From. In th ack seat H trio engaged my attention, Eachbf them noted for some great'inYention. The :first was Hazel Hansen, who in a wrigglv way, Had invented a chewing gum, the fad of the day. ' Q could be chewed undected without moving the jaw. f egecond was Rhoda Jahr, who a fortune had made, po this had put optimism in the shade. Fortthat which had filled her coffers to the brim, ' ' Was a savory doughnut without any rim. I 'H
