SENIOR CLASS HISTORY OHNNY I. H. S. is a big boy now. To think that only three short years ago, he was such a weak little character! His upward climb began back in 1944, thanks to the able assistance of Miss Myrtle L. Paetznick and the following play- mates who made his first year in the big school a happy one: President ............,....................... Harding Olson Vice President .... . . .... Priscilla Anderson Secretary ......... ....... P atricia Ward Treasurer ........... ...... A lice Wahlstrom Keeper of Properties .. .. .... loanne Kightlinger Historian ....,.........,...................... Ingrid Persson Iohnny's first big day appeared in November, during ,Na- tional Education Week, when his parents were invited to an open house. After they had been entertained in the auditorium, they were given the opportunity to meet the teachers who were to help shape their son's future. lohnny soon decided that it was about time to have some decorations to carry him through his years, so he chose for his colors, royal blue and white, and for his flower, the red Carnation. A Thanksgiving dance was planned honoring the tall, hand- some men of brawn, the football players. Everyone enjoyed the floor show, particularly the main part which consisted of a team of girls demonstrating an ideal method of scrimmage. On a March afternoon, the Ninth Graders were given a chance to learn the ropes and paths of I. H. S. They were favor- ably impressed by the thrilling Induction Ceremony of the Na- tional Honor Society. Iohnny's second year was twice as eventful as his first. His extra special boosters were: President ................. .... R obert Lind Vice President .... ...,. F red Erickson Secretary ......, ..... P hyllis Cass Treasurer ..................................... Marilyn Berg Keeper of Properties ................... ......... I ohn Kidder On February third, the curtain was pulled and the footlights focused brightly on one of the best plays of the year, Come Rain, or Shine. 28

Party. This gala event took place at the Recreational Centerg the main attraction of the evening was round and square danc- ing, featuring Coach Taft. There were two inductions during the school year, the first one in October, 1945, and the second one in March, 1946. Alter both inductions, parties were held, serving as informal initiations for the new members. Plans are in the making for a boat ride with the other organ- izations of the school participating. We hope to establish the precedent of the annual Honor Socety Boat Ride. OFFICERS First Term A Second Term FRANK FITCH ...... .... P resident ..., .......... F RANK FITCH HARDING OLSON .... . . .

The juniors won the annual inter-class basketball tour- nament. This victory was a great disappointment to our proud elders. The highest honors which could be bestowed upon any juniors were given to Ioanne Kightlinger and Frank Fitch. They were chosen as the students to attend Girls' State and Boys' State, but because of the war, conventions were prohibited, much to everyone's sorrow. Another rousing victory of our class against the class of '45 was the winning of the coveted Charles E. Hall debate cup. Douglas Ashford, Frank Fitch, and Marvin Iohnson, our dynamic spokesmen, made this achievement possible. Iohnny's third year, although his happiest, has also been his saddest. He came to the full realization that soon he must leave his beloved school. The officers elected in the fall of his senior year were: President .............................,....., Harding Olson Vice President .... . . . Alice Wahlstrom Secretary .......... ,... C atherine Spiro Treasurer ...........................,........ Fred Anderson Keeper of Properties ......................... George Carlson Phyllis Cass, for outstanding qualities of leadership and service, received the D.A.R. award for the year 1946. Phyllis deserved this honor. We are hoping that our class, represented by Douglas Ash- ford, Frank Fitch, and Iasper Sayre, will win the Charles E. Hall Debate a second time. We have much faith in our spokesmen. As the Annual goes to press, we are looking forward to the reception, at which we will be entertained by our able under- classmeny and also to the many activities of Commencement Week including Baccalaureate, the Senior Banquet, Class Night, and finally Commencement. The commencement gowns will carry out our class colors with the girls wearing white and the boys, blue. We sincerely thank Miss Paetznick for all she has done for us. To her goes the credit for what we have made ourselves. Without her, we could not have done justice to our motto, Life is not a chalice to be drained, but a measure to be filled. Ingrid Persson, Historian. 29
