Senior Class History In the fall of 1936 twenty-four green but promising freshmen enrolled in Lincoln High. Our initiation proved to be the big event of the year. The threats of the sophomores brought our hearts into our mouths, but we all survived with one consolation -- next year we would get revenge. During our sophomore year Edwin Bergstedt was chosen class president. We seemed to have more fun initiating the freshmen than being initiated the previous year. Just before school began, many of us attended the State Fair as band or 4-H members. This year was topped by an outing. One of the highlights of our junior year was the presentation of Smart Boyi' directed by Miss Pederson. Another special feature was the Junior-Senior Banquet which was held at the Medical Arts Building in Duluth. This, our senior year, has been a series of interesting events. We have all tried to no avail to fulfill the role of dignified seniors. Our class was well represented in extra-curricular activi- ties. The entire A team of basketball was composed of seniors. Many of us will have the op- portunity of attending the activities banquet in the spring. Everyone is working industriously on the Lincoln Log, and as it goes to press the class expectantly awaits the Senior Class Play, Junior-Senior Banquet, and finally commencement. The class officers are: President, Edwin Bergstedt, Vice-President, Genelle Huffmang Sec- retary-Treasurer, Esther Erkkila. The motto is Here endethg here beginnethvg the flower- Sweet Pea, and the colors - Old Rose and Silver. Under the able guidance of our advisers, Principal Herbert Knuti and Miss Stella Peder- son, we have enjoyed our senior year immensely. C911

hun-an-Lf .lunior Class History Twenty-two freshies stood shivering in the halls on that fateful Initiation Day back in '37. What would the sophomores do? Well, we soon found out! They certainly let us know that we were their subordinates! Yes, the initiation was the main event of that year. We had as our pres- ident, Marian Eskog vice-president, Merton Eskog secretary, Frances Dyerg treasurer, Harry Kauppig and reporter, Frances Dyer. These officers managed our class very well throughout the year with the able support of our adviser, Miss Sandstrom. We left school that year with the I'l1 be in the senior high next year look on our faces. When the next September rolled around, there was nobody new-nobody gone! Everything was the same except that now we were sophomores. How we planned to initiate those poor fresh- men. And give it to them we did, even though they outnumbered us more than two to one. .We tried something new that year. Instead of being so hard on the poor dears, we had a party in the evening and really got acquainted! As our class officers, we elected William Wainio for Presi- dent, Harold Mostrum, vice-presidentg Frances Dyer, secretary-treasurer, and Ainie Maki, reporter. One of the outstanding features of the year was a skating party in January. This was the first year we were enjoying our own rink on the school grounds. We left school that year looking for- ward to seeing each other again and starting the almost most important year of being juniors. Our class enrollment increased to twenty-four in our junior year, but before the year was over the enrollment decreased to twenty-two when Marian and Merton Esko left us. The two new pupils were Helen Peters and John Baisley. This year our able president was William Wainiog vice-president, Harold Mostromg secretary-treasurer, Luella Juntuneng and reporter, Harry Kauppi. We were well advised by Miss Harney and Mr. Ellison. With the junior year came the excitement of rings, pictures, class play, Lincoln Log, and junior-Senior Banquet. Our class play, The Phan- tom Bells , which was directed by Miss Pederson, was well attended. Everyone agreed that the entire class couldnit have done better. We still have to laugh when we think of poor Shirley Polo shivering in the ghost's den. After' the play came the important job of selecting our rings. The Lincoln Log, which we all enjoyed working on, will bring back pleasant memories in years to come. So again we are leaving dear, old Lincon High for another brief three months and then to come hack to the busy senior year. Looking back through the years, we certainly don't like the idea of leaving our dear school forever--but we,re going to go forth and be a credit to the school, so that everyone can say with pride, 6'That person graduated from Lincoln . eleven HJ: M ' Q TWT- ' ' J Z 1 '-r --M-wpff-if-W--W -if --A- - 1,T..1.,,.,.,,, ,A 'lik
