With the passing of four years they have gained and lost in -member- ship and carried out many successful ventures. Some of these are set down here for the sake of any who may wish to read. In 1947, thirty-one very green freshmen selected the following class officers with the help.of their advisors, Mr. F. M. Parkinson and Mrs. Harold Wagner: Donald Talbert, President, Walter Brandli, Vice President, Joyce McCoy, Secretaryg and Marvin Koch, Treasurer. The only outstanding event of that year seemed to be initiation which most of them remember with a grimace of pain. In February of that year they returned the favor by giving the sophomores a jolly time at a Valentine party in the gym. They made a lot of mistakes, a lot of friends and had a lot of fun during that year. Back again in 1948 as sophomores they had twenty-four members and elected Norman Busch, Presidentg Walter Brandli, Vice President: Roberta Kuhlman, Secretary, and Robert Nielsen, Treasurer. Miss Jeanne Donker and Vernon Macomber as their advisors, took the responsibility for their mistakes and mis- demeanors. By this time, this class had turned into very energetic young people and consequently won first prize on their float at the Firemens' Fall Festival. They gave the new freshies a rousing initiation, not unlike their own, and were duly rewarded by a return party later in the year. The big event in the sopho- more memory book was the presentation of a' one-act play, Wildcat Willie's Lucky Number in February. With two more years to go, this class showed promise and varied abilities. The twenty-one members of the junior class in 1949 elected Marvin Koch, Presidentg Donald Mantzke, Vice Presidentg Margery Wilkinson, Secretaryg Julia Shippee, Treasurer: and Roberta Kuhlman, Representative. F. M. Parkinson was once more one of their advisors, and the other was Miss Lois Keltner. On Novem- ber 8th and 9th, they presented the biggest enterprise they had ever attempted, the play, Little Women . It was highly successful and everyone enjoyed this version of Louisa May Alcott's popular classic. This class also worked very hard on their prom and banquet which was held on May 20th. The theme of the prom was Candyland , carried out by the colorful decorations in the gym and the enter- tainment provided by members of the junior class. So ended another year with all looking forward to attaining the great title of 'Senior'. After the summer had passed, and the class was back together again on Sep- tember 1st, elections were held with the following results: Roberta Kuhlman, Presi- dent: Margery Wilkinson, Vice Presidentg Joan Gallagher, Secretary: Rose Marie Beyeler, Treasurerg and Carol Kahly, Representative. There were still twenty-one members of the Class of '51, with Mary Dunn and Armond Specht, to guide them as advisors. The main business of that year was to make money for the publica- tion of an ANNALIS which made its appearance in May. Their final fling in the art of dramatics was the three-act play, Our Miss Brooks given on April 6th and 7th. Everyone enjoyed this comedy very much. The class members all remem- ber a wonderful skip day, and when graduation night arrived, a more sober and serious set of persons you have never seen. It was a thrill for them to Walk down that aisle and receive their diplomas, but it was sad too, thinking that they would never again return to Lena High as the carefree students which they once had been. So ended another class history, passing into the halls of time to join the classes who had spent similar years and graduated before them v 'X' 3XrYYYYXNeX'X?vXrX'XX'NX XNXXXY XXYYYYQQX 'XtXivX3YX XXXNXX9xNXXX'xXXY XXX X XXX 21
