SENIOR CLASS HISTORY In the fall of 1936, a group of twenty-two entered Lester High. The few weeks following, we endured the torture and rigors of initiation, and we were known as green freshies for the remainder of the year. Our class officers were: president, Clyde Beiseg secretary-treasurer, Irma Machemehl. At the close of our first successful year our class had decreased to eighteen. Eldora Kruschke, Elton Quast, Fred Werth and Elmer Schultz had discontinued school. September 1937, we returned to Lester High as sophomores. Leonard Fruetel left our school to live with his mother at Long Prairie g Orval Birkholtz didn't return due to illness, and Clarence Schmalz left school, after having attended a few weeks, to live in Arizona. Our class had now decreased to fifteen. We spent the year having weiner roasts, theatre parties, and of course our daily assignments. We returned to school in the fall of 1938 as juniors. We elected Dorothy Ernst as presi- dent, Eunice Emich as secreta1'y-treasurer. On May 12, 1939, we ente1'tained the seniors at the annual J unior-Senior Banquet. After the dinner we escorted the seniors and the faculty to the Orpheum Theatre and saw Shep Fields and his orchestra in person. We presented a 3'-act comedy, Safety First in February 1939. Fourteen seniors returned in 19393 Herbert Ernst attending school at Watertown. Irma Machemehl was elected president: lrene Miller was elected secretary-treasurer. September 22, 1939, we initiated 24 freshmen. We attended two educational days this spring. One was held at Litchfield, and one was at Stewart. Both proved to be very educational. We also took several trips to various points of interest. In April 1940, we presented a 3-act fa1'ce-comedy Good Gracious Grandma .
