(Seniot Class (Histo'nj In the spring of '39 twelve inmates got their parole from school to get convicted for four more years in the local Sing-Sing. Three months hence, twelve more thugs were tossed into the padded cells. The ring leader for the first year was Jeanette Kinne (president). Dean Mon-son (vice-president), Darlene Becker (secretary) and Patricia Werner (treasurer) were assisting gunmen. Those making a clean get away the first year were Donald Collins and Darlene Becker. Evelyn Wilson and Janice White, sentenced for four years, joined our mob. We managed to make a getaway, but after three months we were soon caught. Anne Halsey escaped our warden, Mr. Payne. For the year of 1940-1941 we chose Kenneth Galyen as ringleader, Flora Kerstine and Bob Stewart as gunmen. Jack Boyer, Janice White. La Rene Halsey, Dean Monson, and Bernice Weinberger were transferred bcause of good behaviour. La Rue Anstine was sent to Beatrice, but was sentenced to return. In the fall of '41 while glancing over our records we discovered we had only two years left. Sent up the road for a stretch of two years were Eunice Dahl, Vera Lenz, Donna Nelson, Helen Schutt, and Delores Rudnick. We, desiring some pleasure, enjoyed the play Riding High. We had two new wardens this year, namely, Miss Bastian and Miss Harsch. Ringleaders for our chain gang were Gene Phillips, Norman Hicks, and Bob Lewis. We gave a banquet for the convicts getting their paroles. After breaking rocks for three years on the hopes of higher education, we started on our last year. As final big shots, we chose Bob Lewis as president, Evelyn Wilson, vice-president, and Helen Schutt as secretary-treasurer. During the latter part of the year, feeling brave, we sneeked into Omaha, assisted by our warden, Bornhoft. This day will long be remembered by all because it was our first real taste of freedom. An outsider came in and took our pictures for the rogues gallery. We chose pink and blue as our colors, pink carnations as the flower, and Ready, Willing, and Able for our motto. We must have gone soft. Yet, we Seniors wish to say to the undergrads, that while you're in school you might be reminded of a prison, when you stop to think that you are not returning the next year, school days are really happy days.
