--------------- The Warriors' Talc------------- Modern 49ers Made History Too! 1931 was a big year in our parents' lives. We were the golden spot of our mothers' and fathers' pride. We went through the ordinary stages of life, running the gamut of the cute, brotty, and even cur mean stage. Of course, oil this occurred while we were in different sections of the country in schools like Oak Knoll, Burwell, St. Joseph's, Shady Oak. Horley Hopkins, Glen Lake, and Hopkins. The time spent in these schools was fun and the work we did was slight. We hod eight or nine (I hope none of us had morel years of this glorious living. But—in 1945 we entered the ninth grade at Hopkins, os o unit that was to work hard together to accomplish our standing for the future. To run our class thot year we picked Myrno Anderson to be our president, Jean Johnson to be vice president, Chorlaine Eh-miller for secretary, and Jack Clapp for treasurer. Under these heads we did many things for excitement. The Dramatic Club gave a play and the chorus gave a concert. To wind up this great freshman year we had a picnic at Excelsior. With the pushing of Mrs. Guernsey and the other teachers we had made it to cur sophomore year. This year we had to get ready for a big let-down again. This time it was the fact that we were not the bosses of the school as we had been in the junior high, but that the Seniors were the wheels and we were just a few of the spokes revolving around them. Scatter brains is just the right word. We didn't have any more intention of studying than the forty-niners cf the nineteenth century had in finding gold. We started off easy by having a class party, ond in order 1 his is how we looked to have anything like this we had to have officers so here they are: Don Krai, president, Kaji Mattill as vice president and Jean Lundahl as secretary and treasurer. We were always willing to do something that had entertainment connected with it so when Homecoming came we were at the head of the school with the best-decorated room. That was the only successful thing we did that yeor. Ah, finally 1947 and our junior year. We were all mighty glad to get to this good old eleventh grade. This is the year we set to thinking about many different things. Some began thinking about what they would do after graduating and of course on the minds of some of us was the class play. We started out to give a good class play and we succeeded in doing so by presenting Little Women. There is always something to do in your junior year. It seemed thet we were always busy. Many cf us had new club duties that had to be carried out and besides the many, activities we wanted to see our names on the honor roll, which many of us did. In the spring of the year we gave the best prom ever to be given. It was Moon Mist and not only one or two small groups worked on it but the whole junior class did their best and that's when we saw that we had worked as one great unit. We couldn't have had such a successful year if it hadn't been for our efficient officers: president. Bob Mason; Jerene Johnson, vice president; Kaji Mattill, secretary; Jean Lundahl, treasurer. She really had her hands full. Our senior year seemed to take a turn to the boys as they headed our class. They were as follows: Bob Mason, president; Gene Wicklund, vice president; Charlaine Ehmiller, secretary; David Berkey, treasur- (Con:inued on page 37) 'way bock in 1936. — 10—
