Trombone artist GERALD LYN- GAAS played solos for many events and led his section in band. Besides this he backboned the bass section in chorus. Science and math were Jerry's favorites, and he planned to continue in that line. He acquired a reputa- tion asa dryhumorist, and by the time he wasaseniorhad a large vocabulary of mile-long words, which he tossed around in an accomplished manner. Ugf wiuy DENNIS LARSEN, a Dagmar Dane, added much to classroom hu- mor. He could always be counted upon to work hard on class activities and many times burned midnight oil in an attempt to get the BDA WAUKA out on time. Dane also took and de- veloped many HONKER pictures. He belonged to FFA for four years. Dagmarite LEROY LODAHL had the reddest hair in the class and was easily recognized by his fondness for western attire, including cowboy boots. He played a part in the class play, but his main interest was zipping around in his cream-colored '51 Mercury. Many classmates will long remember his droll remarks. 5333. ,.--. x,1 u:i1f:f. f -'Fifi zxglgxxfs it '43 5 KL' iii' 5 -4 I 5 gg-ik . .3 Q . , . 1. -, N , vu D n It Q 2 vw -.
