MARY ANN HAWKINSON I am the Spirit of the Class of '41: Soon must I take my place in these memory-laden halls Where the silent pulse of years gone by rises and falls . . . Soon must I mingle with spirits gone before. Living on in memory—reality no more. Then list to the tales I would tell to you. Hear me ere I go. Hear ye the story I bring to you, List to all that I know: Fall '37 brought them to M. A. Happy and youthful, carefree and gay. Freshmen they were and lived up to the name; Never will they (I hope) be quite the same. Sophs now they grew both in stature and fame. Mischief was wrought; there was no one to blame. Teachers were frustrated, puzzled, upset: This was the peppiest class ever met. Truly a part now of school life they found. Pleasure in rumpus and action and sound. Once in a while they surprised all concerned, Showing a glimpse of some lesson they learned. Barb Gustafson brought unexpected acclaim Through winning Declam won the Sophomores fame. Continuing escapades right up to the last, Their only regret was the year was now passed.

 df Ocfz of c y-fcj £1 • MARVEL J. OLSON And the rains descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon the rock.”— Matthew 7:25. Life is like a narrow pathway Spread with stepping stones for you— Those of fellowship and service Prayer and thanks and praises true. Founded on the Rock of Ages, They will stand and never fall. Would you step in faith upon them When you hear the Master's call? Those of clay are widely scattered On the broad, destructive way, That they'll stand—has not been promised, Rather—they will soon decay. In the future called Tomorrow'' Will you step on rock or clay? When the storms of life come o'er you, Will you stand or wash away? We, this class of Minnehaha, Stand upon the Rock of Christ, 'Tis in Him our future's hidden, 'Tis on Him we've set our eyes. The following seniors of the class of 1941 will receive honor pins: Helen Jean Buyse Paul G. Carlson Ann Louise Cham Howard I. Gravem Mary Ann Mixer John R. Pearson Elaine J. Pinks Ruth V.
