SENIOR CLASS HISTORY On a warm day in Deptember, 1949, a blessed event was reported -to have taken place at La- crosse High. It just so happened that at that time 17 bright G unsuspecting little freshmen were born into the world of higher education. We were progressing very nicely when the Seniors put a diaper banner up for us. Initiation Day! We all survived, but we're not mentioning in what condi- tion. So we were-now no longer considered green, but just Frosh. Our class selected red and white for our colors, red roses for our flower, and Grumblers never work and workers never grumble as our motto. Guides through this year were Laurie Gordon and John Krom as pres-idents and Mrs. Martin as our advisor. Our Sophomore year proceeded very quietly. We did feel greatly relieved G also just a little bit sorry for the incoming Frosh. whom we initiated. We knew what they were in for, even if they didn't.. We sold refreshments at basketball games and at a square dance. Many of our class pur- chased rings. Mr. Koorenny our advisor, and June Sather and John Krom, our presidents guided us well through that successful year. When we returned to school in the fall of '51 we were dismayed to find that Tom Newell, Janet Wigen, Oris Slind, and Lucille Emheiser had been lost from our class. These loses were soon for- gotten however as we had added up Kenneth Langley, Maryette Miller, Don Hansen, and Earl Alley to the class. This was a busy year, laden with such activities as the Junior Prom, Shine on Har- vest Moon, the waffle feed and party connected with the Junior Play, The Night of Januaryl6th, and the traditional Junior-Senior Party in the spring. Mr. Ellis our advisor, and Don Hansen and Kenneth Langley our presidents had skillfully handled the jobs given them. . As L..I-l.S. opened its doors once more in fall of '52 we suddenly realized that now we were the high and mighty seniors. The officers elected to guide us through this most memorable year were : it ADVISOR: Mr. Dick Ellis Kenneth Langley PRESIDENT Earl Alley Jack Ferris VICE PRESIDENT Jerry Lust June Sather SECRETARY Myrna Shaver Maryette Miller TREASURER Myrna Shaver Phyllis Garberg STUDENT COUNCIL. REP. , Claudia Scholz Our first big activity was the presentation of our play A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court, which turned out to be a huge success. In November we journeyed to Spokane to see The Night of January l6th put on at North Central High School. Our class won the honor of first place in the class basketball tournament. The Senior Ball, Memory Lane was a project that brought us lots of work but also a lot of fun. Sandwiched in between the activities of spring sports, the ordering of cards and announcements, and getting our pictures taken was the senior sneak. Three glorious days were spent at the Bar-M rcmch, horseback riding, swimming, hiking andhgenerally having a grand time. As we look from this wonderful senior year into a future of college, armed services, employment or home making, we realize that our years here have been some of the best of our lives.
