12 HISTORY OF THE CUSS OF 1941 On the morn of September 5, 1929, Christine Kehret was confronted with twenty-eight Innocent smiling cherubs; namely, Lorraine Osheim, Verdell Eastwold, Marion Van Buren, Eleanor Johnson, Naida Bye. Rosa Naiman, Maxine Blume, Ray Hastings, Dale Malcomson, Lorraine Johnson, Ruby Moe, Leslie Edmonds, Donald Mitchell, Lorraine Drinkall, Clifford Mitchell, Clyde Mitchell, Joe Regan, Glenice Lawrence, Lenora Mahoney, Leo Renter, Dorothy Gager, Arthur Tingley, Patricia Hawkins, Alice Moe, Floyd Davis. Charles Drake, Delaine Rosenthal, and Russell Bye. That year we could be likened to acorns, Just planted. The following year our garden spot was changed to the second and third grade room under tne leadership of Alma Westberg. We found that we no longer had with us Charles Drake, Floyd Davis, Ray Hastings, Maxine Blume, Lorraine Johnson, Donald Mitchell, Lorraine Drinkall, Clyde Mitchell, Joe Regan, and Delaine Rosenthal (deceased) . At the beginning of the third grade we still felt very much at home because we were under the same leader ana in the same room with but slight changes among our classmates. We no longer saw Leo Renter, Arthur Tingley, Clifford Mitche117 Malcomson. We became acquainted with the new faces of Wayne Hill and Philig Price. During this year Miss Westberg had the misfortune to break her leg; Ruth Johnson substituted for her while she was gone. A new teacher, new atmosphere, and new associations added to our experiences during the fourth grade. Our new instructor was none other than Decoran Harden. Added to our ranks this year were: Raymond Rnight, Muriel and Maxine Peterson; all the former familiar faces which we had grown to know remained with us. The fifth grade progressed with but few changes. Wayne Hill moved from this community and Vincent Hardwick was accepted into our union. An unusual thing occurred in the sixth grade, in that we had Miss Harden again as our teacher, making three successive years. One newcomer, Wanlta Shoemaker, was added and Vincent Hardwick. Dorothy Gager, Glenice Lawrence were transplanted to another plot. After finishing the elementary grades we sprouted and §rew and were likened to sturdy saplings, with well established roots and ranches spreading out to absorb the light of knowledge. In the seventh grade we came to the realization that we were deprived of our fifteen minute recess periods, to which we had grown so accustomed. Instead of seeing the faces of Marion Van Buren and Ruby Moe we saw those of Glenn Grlmley, Verna Tonsaker, and Ambrose Crowe. Also this year our teachers increased in number. We had Marcella Meuer, John W. Peterson, and Catharine Rygg. During our eighth grade the new six year plan was adopted. This plan gave us an independent feeling because we were considered Junior High School students. With Marcella Meuer and John W. Peterson, were Emil Simon, Renneth Von Wald, and Ingrid Larsen. We lost four members from our class this year: Ray Rnight, Muriel Peterson, Maxine Peterson, and Wanita Shoemaker. The two newcomers were Wayne Wells and. Hazel Jerred. In 1937 a large bewildered class of green freshies sauntered up the steps of Le Roy High and were quickly transformed by the process of initiation into distinguished high school students. The variety of newcomers fitted the faces of Russell Anderson, Helen Benson, Curtis Bergan, Everett Bucknell, Lucille Eng 01in Eng, Gladys Hall, Rathleen Johnson, Arlin Mahoney, Worrell Malcomson, Donald Morse, Marjorie Olson, Orlo Sorenson, Leona Thoreson, Dorothea Whisler, Bert Wren. La Fonne Whisler, Curtis Dybvod, Alfred Eastwold, Marion Mossyge, and Harold Olson. We lost only one member, Hazel Jerred. The faculty members who guided us through our freshmen year were: John W. Peterson, Olive Gilbertson, Emil Simon, Marcella Meuer, and Oliver Bakken.Thls year we enjoyed our first picnic out of town. We chose Rochester as our camping ground. Mr. Peterson accompanied us as our class advisor. A considerable decline in our enrollment took place during our tenth year. We lost twelve members —Bert Wren, La Fonne Whisler, Everett Bucknell, Olin Eng, Alfred Eastwold, Gladys Hall, Rathleen Johnson, Arlin Mahoney, Donald Morse, Marjorie Olson, Harold Olson, and Dorothea Whisler. We gained Elma Jacobsen, Margaret Everson, Bill McClellan, Kenneth Norland, Joyce and Fern Anderson. The instructors this year were: Mary Sias, Olive Gilbertson, Emil Simon, Orlana Johnson, and John W. Peterson. Miss Sias was our class advisor ana therefore accompanied us to Albert Lea on our picnic. The Junior year showed the loss of Bill McClellan, Elma Jacobson, Margaret Everson, and Curtis Dybvod. There were no additions to our group. J. A. Sime, Nadine Nelson, Norman Indall, Oliver Bakken and Helmer Bakke were our honorable directors for the year. The highlights of this year were the Junior-Senior Prom and the Junior Class Play under the direction of Mary Malsed. Our Fndall f°r thlS year WaS held at Clear 1 ® and we were chaperoned by Norman The one and only change in our senior class was the addition of Marion Schwenn. Hazel Holth too the place of Nadine Nelson on our faculty. It is appropriate to mention here the names of those who have continued from first grade through high school in Le Roy: Lorraine Osheim, Verdell Eastwold, Eleanor Johnson, Russell Bye, Naida Bye, Rosa Naiman, Lenora Mahoney, Patricia Hawkins, and Alice Moe. We hope you will continue to keep your eyes on us and watch us grow physically, mentally, and morally as we progress out of school life into life’s school.
