Nesheim, class mother. Their first big thrill of high school life came in the form of initiation by the so called superior seniors. The girls were attired in gunnysack dresses with accesories of onions and twine and five-buckle overshoes. They wore their hair in nine braids, tied with green ribbons, and carried milk pails and tooth brushes. The boys wore short dresses, silk stockings, high-heeled shoes and ladies hats. Purses and Jewelry completed their outfits for freshman initiation. The high-lights of the remainder of the year were the carnival, with Bob Olson and Phyllis marek as king and queen candidates and Homecoming Day with Madalyn Nesheim as our class queen. A hay-ride and a board-ride party added spots of gaiety to our beginning of four years of fun and learning in L. P. H. S. At the close of the year we were taken to Lake Campbell for a picnic and skating. 2 eager sophomores reported for school the next year. Susie Vostad was the only one who dropped out. Keith Hesby and Eldon Anderson Joined us from Hetland. The new teachers that year were R. Stewart, M. Leighton and R. Baeder. H. Miller was selected as advisor and Mrs. C. Collins as olass mother. Lois Lee moved to Idaho that year, reducing us to a mere 23. Ruth Olson and Charles Hendricks represented our class at the oarnival and Norma Holland was selected for our Homecoming Day queen. Class, parties consisted of a hay-ride and a party given by our class mother at the park. The picnic was held at Lake Campbell. Upon taking roll-call at the ringing of the nine o'clock bell at the beginning of our next year, Mrs. Alseth discovered one new student. Herb Jones, among the class of ambitious Juniors. Upon passing to classes we observed that our new teachers were Supt. R. F. Galer, D. Willey, E. Jungemann and H. Melemeseter. Mrs. C. Holland was chosen as our mother and D. willey was the advisor. Our Junior year was packed with activities. We took over the Blue and Gold and also sold lunches at games to raise money for the banquet. Our carnival king and queen candidates were Herb Jones and Gaye Strande. Homecoming queen candidate was Beverly Tolzin. During the year, Lynn Atwood and Mary Jane Oleson enrolled as juniors. Our class rings arrived in January. The Junior play, Meet The Folks , was presented early in the spring with very favorable results. The Junior-senior banquet wjs held, carrying out the theme of Hswaii. Madalyn Nesheim was toastmistress. Our prom was held at Arlington. Several of the juniors displayed talent when Lois Williams, Madalyn Nesheim, Mary McLain and Rodney Peterson qualified to enter in the district declamatory contest and Rodney went on to the state where he rated a good. Phyllis Marek attended Girls State and Charles Hendricks went to Bovs State. The picnic basket was slightly upset at Arlington on the last day of school. As a result, some of’the students went to Lake Campbell and the rest skated on .t Lake Kampeska. There were several changes in the class of mighty seniors. Gaye Strande and Herb Jones left us and Doris Falla, Doris Wonsbeck, Florence KJellsen and Dorothy McNamara signed up for our last year in the halls of L.P.H.S. Under our advisor, Ida B. Alseth, we have completed a very satis- factory year. Mrs. H. Anderson was our class mother. New teachers in- cluded Mrs. L. A. She: nan, J. Van Steenwyck, C. Stevenson and V. Eckert. Doris Falla and Rodney Erickson reigned as carnival king and queen and Doris Wonsbeck was the candidate for Homecoming Day queen. Bob Olson was the Marshall. Madalyn Nesheim was the D. A. R. candidate. Other high-lights of the year included the following: senior pheasant feed, served by our mothers, organizing of the F. F. Club, publishing of the annual and presentation of the senior play. The seniors proved their abilities in the field of music when Lois Williams, Madalyn Nesheim, Mary McLain Charles Hendricks and Rodney Erickson qualified to sing in the state contest at Milbank. We have chosen the motto, The ropes of today ring the bells of tomorrow , to guide us as we leave L.P.H.S. after four enjoyable vear. « 16 CLASS WILL We, the Seniors of Lake Preston High School of the years 19A9- 1950, being of sound mind, here by bequeath the following oherished articles to our friends and former fellow students of Lake Preston High School.

I spy a big all-glassed in carpenters shop, the sign reads- E. Anderson, propietor. Going 125 mph. has completely wrecked the woodwork on the body of my car so I decide to let the carpenter see what he can do with it. As I enter the shop who greets me but dear old Bud. He hasn't changed much, except that he is a little thicker around the middle. Behold, I see two little youngsters running around, Eldon says that they are twins, names are Eldon and Ellen. Bud and I talk of '“reston High and the Basketball tourneys at Sioux Falls. The subject of farming comes up and he tells me that Gary Jenson owns a four section farm about 9 miles from the city. He has a big concern out there, 5 diesels and all the equipment to go with it. As we stand there shooting the breeze, in comes Gary with his 2U cylinder Paokard. With a brain like his I can see why he went into the motorized-scientific end of farming. Bidding my two old buddies adleq, I get on my way again. I spot a modern road house, The Crain Club and I stop for dinner. As I finish my meal and watch the floor show, whom do you suppose they have in the spotlight? None other than Lois and her Magic Accordian . After the show I go back and have a chat with Lois. She informs me that after school she got married and now is playing her accordian for sheer pleasure. Going down the super-highway, I find that I have to take a detour to get back home because some engineers are working on a bridge. I stop the first pile-driver and ask him the correct way to my destination, he says to see the chief engineer over in the main shop. Entering the shop whom do I lay eyes on but Charles Hendricks. Being one of the best engineers in the country, he now is with the National Highway Commission. I wonder what ever became of his old sparring partner, Norma Holland. He tells me that she has been on her way to Hollywood three times, but she never seemed to get any farther than Reno, Nevada. I wonder why Saying good-bye to Chuck, I get to rolling again, but feeling a little dizzy I decide to go and see a psychiatrist. Since my cousin Madalyn taught school and then took up psychiatry as a oareer I might as well give her the business. She psycho-analyzes me and we get to conversing about some of our pals. Mike says that her girl friend, Ruth Olson, owns a little beauty salon across the street. We go over there and have a chat with Ruth. She tells me that her brother Bob owns the Easy Come, Easy Go , gambling casino across town, so I glgure I might as well go out and give Bob a little business. Besides, I might win a little, but after losing 10 dollars, I go in the back room and talk with Bob. Looking through the glass office, we see a pretty girl. Follow- ing her is a man with a familiar face. It looks like and is-Jim Jensen. We rush out and have a few words with Jim. He tells me that he is big business, he owns a large farm and he trucks on the side. Sitting down in an easy chair in Bobs casino, I pick up a magazine and begbegin reading the ads. One catches my eye. It reads- I have used the 'SURGE MITKER' for 7 years, and would not switch to any other. Signed Keith Hesby, Lake Preston, S. D. Taking quick leave and speeding over to L. P. I now find myself facing Keiter, our good forward on our team. We talk a while and then he says that he Just got a letter from his cousin, Beverly Tolzin, it seems that she fulfilled her ambition and is now working in the Mayo Clinic in Rochester. She is one of their best nurses, but she is still diddling around with the boys as usual. Keith tells me that he likes his Job on the farm. He has expanded his farm into 3 sections now, most of it pasture for his 39 milk cows and his other 50 yearlings. Keith and I decide to go into Lake Preston, My old home town, it has now grown to the enour- mous size of 6,001 it was 5,99i, but Rodney Erickson and his wife Helen moved back. He is teaching English in the high-school. School is still continuing in old LPHS, which now has 250 students. As we go in the main building, and up to the English room, Rodney is suprised to see me. He says that ony three of the class of 50 became teachers. Madalyn, he and Mary Ann Mclain. Phyllis Marek Nelson, also a Journalist works for a newspaper.
