Our teachers in our Freshman year were Mr. Krienke, Science and Civics, Miss Cleaves, English, Mrs. Wagner, Commercial, and Miss Ellandson, Social Science. Our Principal was Mr. Mork and our advisor, Mrs. Wagner. Class officers were: President, Paul Berg and later Barbara Walrath, Vice President, Merline Loken, Secretary, Elisabeth Aamoth, Treasurer, Rita Simonis. Paul Berg, Darrell Winkler, Jerry Boehning, and Arthur and Marvin Thompson left us during the year. We started our Sophomore year with thirty-eight members. Rosanna Mork was no longer with us, but we had two new members, Kermit Olson and La Vern Loken. The only new teacher was Mr. Peterson who replaced Mrs. Wagner in the Commercial department and was also the band director. Class officers were: President, LaVern Loken, Vice-President, Rita Simonis, Secretary, Carlene Swenson, and Treasurer, John Guillen. Miss Ellandson was our class advisor. As Juniors we found that Rita Simonis had left us and two new members had joined, Virginia Isaacson and Lois Jensen. We also acquired two new teachers, Mr. Kitze, Principal, and Mrs. Wrolstad, Commercial. Our class officers were: President, Roger Voie, Vice President, R ssell Bestul, Secretary, Valerie Forseth, and Treasurer, Rosetta Phelps. Our class ad- visor was Mr. Krienke. The most outstanding social function of the year was the Junior Prom which was held in the Iola High School Gym on April 2, 1948. The gym was decorated with red and white streamers with a huge silver bell in the center. Our theme was 'Serenade of the Bells.' The Grand March was led by Gaylord Lewison and his queen, Virginia Issacson. Her attendants were Joan Wilhelm, Rosetta Phelps, and Carlene Swenson. The music was furnished by Tom Temple and his orchestra. On March 12, 1948, we presented our Junior Class Play 'Rumors Wanted', which proved a success. We found that the time was passing swiftly and on our last and final year our class began with 38 members. Mr. Bizer had taken over the position of Principal, replacing Mr. Kitze. Three members had left us, Kenneth Gunderson, Elisabeth Aamoth, and Richard Nassen, but we gained another member, Joan Mykle- bust. Richard Van Densen also left during the course of the year. Our senior class officers were: President, Duane Stamsta, Vice-President, Roger Voie, Secretary, Carlene Swenson, and Treasurer, Rosetta Phelps. Our class motto was 'Today we Follow, Tomorrow we Lead', and our class flower was the American beauty Rose.'
