Clew ?95? Gertrude Salmon Valedictorian The class of '51 feels it has something to be proud of in the field of achievements. Some of our achievements are new and different, others are traditions carried on. For the first time our football team played on the new athletic field. In basketball we tied with St. Louis Park for the Lake Conference title, won the District 18 and Region 5 championships, and entered the state tournament winning the consolation championship. Three years in a row we won the Homecoming award for the best decorated room. The last two years we received the Little Brown Jug presented by the Pep Club. We also changed our-Homecoming Coronation ceremony by providing entertainment for our queens who were Marge Archie and Joan Sundquist Another girl we were proud of was Carole Blomquist who was the winner of the D.A.R. award. We helped put on the first all-school play. We hope we will be better prepared for the future because this year Mr. Thomas Soldahl came to us as a guidance counsellor. Ranking high among our achievements and one from which we received much satisfaction was the adoption of a Greek orphan, Petros Gournaris. We hope with these simple but significant achievements we have left our Solly McGlat son Salutatorian Senior Clast officers: James Tocnsing. Treasurer; James Nelson.

 This yeor the Senior closs received much pleosure ond sotisfoction from the adoption of a Greek school boy, Petros Gournoris. Petros is the youngest in o family of four children. Before the war they led a comfortable, happy life in the district of Fiorina, where his father hod a grocery store. In 1949 Fiorina was boseigcd by rebels. Small boys ond girls tried to help by carrying stretchers and helping the wounded, but the rebels began to kidnap them, so along with other Greek children, Petros ond his brother, Alexandros, went to a children's camp. In 1947 Petros' father was executed, his shop looted, and his family left destitute. Petros' mother has miocarditis ond cannot work. His sister, Anastassia, cares for the fomily while his brother, Loukas, sells candy. He earns very little and there are no relatives so the fomily is hungry most of the time. The Seniors have given $ 180 to support Petros for a year. Parcels of food ond clothing ore sent to him from the Foster Parents' Plan for War Children, Inc. Our money also fakes care of his medical care and schooling which is not free in Greece. We sent a box of clothing ond other gifts to Petros for Christmas and for his birthday. Through his letters to us we Iearn of his activities and his thankfulness. We hove been very happy to have had a part in making a success of the life of a little boy mode destitute by the war.
