THE SENIOR CLASS HISTORY (A copy-nrighted feature) When in the course of human events it becomes necessary for a group of grammar school students to continue the process of assimilating knowledge, and to emulate their elders in the pursuit and accumulation of sundry forms of learning, said students deem it proper and fitting that they enroll in an institution of higher educational status. Such a higher institution of learning was M, A., which said students chose as their Alma Mater for the next four or five or six years as the case may be. Prior to this time, one H. John Brieland. feeling that his educational environment was inadequate to cope with his vast mental potentialities, had arrived at the conclusion that he must needs go to a far country to imbibe of the fountain of knowledge. Wherefore and whereas, he therefore, after great, long, and meditative contemplation, arrived at the logical conclusion that he should emigrate from his fair and native Dominion of Canada and should make his temporarv abode among the rest of the--acorns. The day of enrollment arrived. In the ensuing confusion there was heard the squeaking of new shoes, the scratching of pencils, and the ringing of the cash register in the bookstore. Ah' a new Freshman class had enrolled at M. A. Forthwith from this melee there emerged the poly-chrestrical team of Mixer and Brieland which threatened to dominate Freshman class politics for the next decade. The Freshman year passed hurriedly and terminated in another happy summer vacation. With the coming of the next fall and the return of the lost, there came another gentleman who was destined to make a great name for himself in the annals of the class of ‘17—Norman G. Anderson. Together with Currer. Brieland. and Mixer, they delved into the study of science in all its branches, and soon the air was saturated with various and diversified scientific desserta-lions. Oh yes! That's the year the Sophomore class had twins! Munson muns passed and Dea Junior year dawn red. Aside from this the Junior class proceeded to make immense strides forward. After spending the fall term in learning the essentials of Juniorhood. they launched forth upon the spring term with. Wim. wigor. witamans. and witality. With their appearance at the Swedish Art Gallery, the Minnehaha Singers began the most successful year of their existence. Of course it is obvious that the huge success of the Singers was largely due to the energetic gusto of the modest Juniors. Perhaps the crowning achievement of the Junior year was the Junior-Senior Banquet, which was planned and staged in two nights. Concerts, parties, class night, and graduation all sped by in a whirl of excitement, leaving the poor Juniors to recover from their first shock of dazzling Seniorhood. The fall term, with the usual crop of Frosh. new Seniors, and visiting alumnae was soon upon them. Chorus, classes, and activities were soon under way. The Camera Club, under Harry Mixer, began work on their photographic text book. Seven Nights in a Darkroom. And so we must bring to a close the Annals of the Class of 19 7. Class night and graduation put a fitting climax to the spring round of banquets, concerts, and special events. In light of the above statements, it is the firm belief, conviction, and sentiment of the author of this document that the Freshmen of should be considered and judged as worthy of the cognomen or nomcclature. The Senior Clau of 1 )7.' or The Alumnae of 19 38. (Signed) CHARLES HACGLUND. 22

From these activities they are better fitted to take their places as Seniors next year. Probably one of the most important events of the year is the annual Junior-Senior banquet, given by the Junior Class. The theme this year was Stars.'' This year many members of the Junior Class have been active in forensics. Two members were on the Minnehaha Debate Team when they met North Park in their annual Battle of Wits. Others were actively engaged in declamation. During the past year many positions on the Quiver, a bi-weekly student publication, have been taken by members of the Junior Class. Many members have also taken active part in athletics. Next year the Junior Class will take up its activities as a Senior Class, praying that God shall bless them in the doing of it. 24 if
