Senior Class History (Continued) Next comes the tenth year of our outstanding education, during which many things took place, first of all we were the class to initiate rather than be initiated as we were the year before. Another event we will all remember is the Junior-Senior Banquet at which we were waiters and waitresses. The members of the class that were not chosen to serve were ushers at commencement exercises. This year we added to our yet small class, Elsie Gullickson, Hildreth Hanks, Betty Harding, Glenn Stevens, and Romaine Otto; but we lost Donnis Lundering, Raymond Storing, and DeBlonde Johnson. During our eleventh year we added Floyd Otto and lost Mary Bredeson and Elsie Rowe. Many events took place this year; putting on the Junior Class Play-- Junior Miss”, choosing class rings, preparing for the Junior-Senior Banquet and Prom, and escorting the Seniors into the auditorium at Commencement. We entered into our senior year with the loss of Betty Harding and Jewell Bauch. Some events scheduled for this year were our trip to Mason City for graduation pictures, the play-“Skidding”, senior skip day, the very lovely Junior-Senior Banquet and Prom, and last but far from least — Commencement Exercises I We graduated with six of our original class: Donna Jean Brownlow, Maynard Hiller, Marjorie Larson, Clark Malcomson, Glenn Stevens, Jeanne Klassy. OUR CLASS Our class is going out in the world A long hard trip; it's true. And we will need a great many things In order to see it through. First of all our hopes and dreams, Ambitions, schemes and plans; The things we dreamed in '48, Will fill our future’s span. Next we pack our courage. The thing we’ll need the most To meet the world unafraid, The unrelenting host. Last we’ll pack our memories, But pack them all with care; For we’ll remember school days And the things we used to dare. Our memories can ne’er be taken, Our hopes and dreams can neither be. Our courage; these will last forever, Our class---eternity. Oh, God, we give thee thanks For Thy care to this present date. For with Thy help we realize We are the masters of our fate.”
