SENIOR HISTORY We, the graduating class of 1951, now end the journey we began four years ago. We started our freshman year with 56 members, and now end with only 44. Although we were scared and pushed around by the upper classmen, we managed to survive. We started the year by holding elections under the direction of Miss McDermott. Those officers elected were Pat Eyer—president, Anna Smidt—vice-president, Jean Bernhardt—secretary and treasurer, and Vivian Frank—student activity council representative. Linda Johnston and Tom Dempsey were our choices for King and Queen in the Laurel Leaves subscription drive. We lost to the seniors by two subscriptions. The carnival was our next big event. We sponsored the fish pond booth and Jean Bernhardt as our candidate for carnival queen. Our sophomore year found us a bit more experienced in the ways of the high school. We elected our officers under the new sponsor. Miss Roberts. They were Bill Rosselot—president, Vivian Frank— vice-president, June Birkland—secretary-treasurer, and Pat Eyer—S. A. C. representative. Maxine Boyd and Joe Marvel were our choice for King and Queen candidates for the Laurel Leaves this year. Anna Smidt, our candidate for carnival queen was elected Queen. Our booths were rolling nickels and the turkey raffle. Upperclassmen now, we set in for a hard year of work. We elected Linda Johnston—president, Bob Dantic—vice-president, Claudine Eberhardt—secretary, and Bob Stickelbcrger—treasurer. Being upperclassmen we were allowed two members to S. A. C., Vivian Frank and Bill Rosselot. For the newly organized Student Government, we selected LaDonna Henry, Jim Graff, Delores Schecler, and Linda John- ston. Our sponsors were Miss Nordgaard and Mr. White. Our candidates for the Laurel Leaves royalty were Jim Kasner and Betty Sorg. We ordered our class rings early from the Balfour Company. They arrived in March. We then presented the comedy Brother Goose which turned out to be a big financial success. Miss Gunderson directed the play. We sold concessions at all of the basketball and football games. Since there were no tournaments that year, we had to sell doubly hard. On May 13, came the big event we had been working for—the Junior-Senior Prom and Banquet. We carried out the Dutch theme in the menu, table decorations, favors, entertainment and gymnasium decorations. We danced to the music of the Five Squares. This year for the first time we made the ruling that only juniors, seniors, alumni and their dates could attend, no underclassmen. We are now in our senior year. Our officers are Maxine Boyd—president, Bill Rosselot—vice-president, Peggy Alverson—secretary, and Dan Hafer— treasurer. Our representatives to the now combined S. A. C. and Student Government are Vivian Frank, Bob Stickelberger, Jim Graff, and Maxine Boyd. Miss Kamerzell is our class sponsor. Our King and Queen candidates for the Laurel Leaves were Darlene Call and Bob Dantic. Our senior announcements were ordered from the Josten Company. The annual was our next big project of the year. Berta Jean Wilson and Leroy Wetch were elected co-editors. Our shipments were due in Dallas, Texas at the Taylor Publishing Company on December, January, and February 13. December 20 was Senior Dress-Up Day. All seniors were dressed to perfection. Our class play was directed by Miss Jeanne Gunderson.
