Pour years ago this class of 1940 began its high school career as timid Freshmen. We chose the following class officers for our Freshmen year: President, Gordon Van Ocker; Vice President, Neta Mae Hillman; Secretary, Doris Carpenter; Treasurer, Raymond Christensen; Sponsor, Mr. Ferris. The first event of the year was our initiation sponsored by the Sophomore class of 1936-37. It was met with cheers from the Sopho- mores, but ah, the poor FreshmenJ In December we had a class party in the high school gymnasium. Although the night was stormy, there was quite a crowd gathered to enjoy the evening of fun and enjoy- ment. In May came the biggest event of the season—the eighth grade banquet sponsored by the Freshmen Class. Everyone present enjoyed the dinner and the program which was given afterwards. The next year our social life really began, for we had two class parties. The first one was spent in initiating the Freshmen and af- terwards serving cider and doughnuts. At our other party we played games and enjoyed entertainment. The officers for this year were as follows: President, Russel Rasmussen; Vice President, Alice Petersen; Secretary, Lewis Durling; Treasurer, Harold Fitzner; Sponsor, Mr. Dale Anderson. Now, one more step and we were Juniors. The officers for this year were as follows: President, Jack Stout; Vice President, Raymond Christensen; Secretary, Bette Smith; Treasurer, Gordon Van Ocker; Sponsor, Miss Pillsbury. One of the outstanding events was the re- ceiving of our class rings, which gave us a feeling of superiority ov- er the lower classmen. Nevertheless, we still looked forward to next year when we would be seniors. The grandest event of the season was the banquet. We gave this in honor of the Seniors, who showed their appreciation by inviting us to march with them at Baccalaureate. When school opened this year we were known as seniors, perhaps not so dignified as led to believe, but, nevertheless, seniors. We elected the following officers for the year: President, N. H. Young- man, Vice President, Doris Cross; Treasurer, Jeanette Petersen; Sec- retary, Geneveive Nielsen; Sponsor, Mr. Kos. The first real event of this year took place in November. Every senior turned out to take his or her turn in front of the camera. The first party of the season was a victory dance after the Edmore—Lake- view Football game. Our next party was a dance for which Cecil Gates’ Orchestra played. Now we are all looking forward to the Senior Play. We also are looking forward to graduation, but there will always be a secret long- ing in our hearts for dear old Lakeview High. Tamarack Page Thirteen

On a bright sunny morning of September, 1937, there were fifty students standing around wonder- ing what to do next, where they should sit, and into which room they should go. In our first class meeting we elected our class officers for the freshmen year: President— Paul Gaffield, Vice President— Burnadean Houghton, Secretary— Kenneth Bucholtz, and Treasurer— Lloyd Mills. During the year we wez e ini- tiated by the Sophomores. In May we gave a banquet to the eighth graders of both town and country schools. It was one of the larg- est banquets ever held here. The next year our social life consisted of class parties. We also did a little initiating for the interest of the freshmen. Our class officers for the Sophomore year were: President— Burnadean Houghton, Vice Presi- dent—Oliver Bucholtz, Secretary —Dorothea Jorgensen, Treasurer— Russell Hansen. Our sponsor, Mr. Dale Anderson, resigned in Jan» uary, and Mr. R. D. Simmons was hired to fill the vacancy and to become our sponsor. This year we are Juniors and it seems that our three years of high school life have flown by. At present we are working hard to make the Junior Play go over as big as our other events. Our class officers for this year are: President—Barbara Johnson, Vice President—Oliver Bucholtz, Sec- retary—Dorothea Jorgensen, and Treasurer—Lossie Staffen. Our sponsor for this year is Miss Pillsbury. -Burnadean Houghton Tamarack Page Fifteen
