Ralph Beversdorf is first and his claim to distinction is the honor of being the 1939 captain of the Warriors. Bever, as he is called most frequently, is an all conference choice in both basketball and football but he doesn’t let that interfere with his job as secretary of the class. Next fellow, who is slightly on the lengthy side, is Robert I fart and a very fine basketball player is Bobby. Bob is the man with the purse strings in the case of I lopkins; he's the treasurer of the outfit. The young man with the downcast air is the president of the class and answers to the name of Walter Lundahl. Wally has proved to be an excellent executive. The fellow that the only hat in the picture is wearing is none other than Richard Hagen, vice president, who is rightly called the “Professor. Dick takes his job with a great deal of nonchalance, but even so he never objects to a fanfare. Now that we have introduced von to the head boys on our ream let’s read some of our past history.

Kenneth Hodek won the vice presidency, while modernminded, tall, Walter Lundahl was secretary-treasurer. Flic two newly-elected councilmen were Richard Hagen and Paul Jorgensen. What will the frosh team do in the way of athletics? This was the question on the lips of every athletic-minded frosh, but not for long. The longstriding team walked over all and sundry until the semi-finals; there the wolf in the guise of Excelsior swallowed them. Tradition called for a party but mild spring days begged for a picnic. 9
