CLASS HISTORY Our first high school year began with an enrollment of twenty-six eager Freshmen, full of enthusiasm and extreme ideas, which our principal, Mr. Sobota, immediately curbed and directed into the right channels. As a result we were able to do many things in our four years. At the beginning of the second semester, Leila Kimmel entered our class, making twenty-seven Freshmen. In our Sophomore year we lost Adeline Schumacher, who became the bride of Kenneth Weissengerg Patricia DeWilde, who transferred to Alma High School and Murriel Mitchell, who transferred to Wabasha High School. We received one new student, Doris Keister, who transferred from Boyceville. Some of the members of the class contributed their services to the newspaper staff this year and the following two years. The third year we lost Fred Breidung, who is helping at home and Eleanor Tollefson, who moved to Glenwood City. Miss Kelley advised the decorating for the Junior Prom and for the Turkey Trot. Music was furnished by Otto Stock and Johnny Farwell, respectively. The following September, as Seniors, we entered school with a new dignity befitting our classification. The greatest tragedy of the year was the loss of Doris Keister, our dear friend and classmate, when she drowned on July 4, 1948. We had a number of basketball lettermen in our class this year: Phillip Breutzman, Milton Jost, Gerald Reinhardt, Darrell Reinhardt, Erwin Mikelson, Eugene Brunkow, and Harold Ristowg also two cheerleaders: Alvera Spies and Laurel Duellman. The Seniors presented a play on April 15. We will always be grateful to our parents and teachers for making it possible for us to arrive at this graduation of our education career. CLASS1 WILL The intention of the class of 1949 was to present this will in person, and it would, indeed, have given her great pleasure to do so. However, during these last days she was so occupied with social engagements and other dates not so social but of great importance to the future, that she was forced to present this in writing. Owing to the flighty condition of her brain, and unusual disturbance in her gray matter, she begs me to state for her that she may quite possibly have been mistaken in her in- ve toryg but such things as she thinks she has, she hereby gives into your possession, praying that you will accept them and be as faithful to them as the class that is passing on ROW . We, the class of '49, in twenty-two individual minds and bodies, being about to pass into oblivion from this sphere of education, in full possession of a bewildered mind, well-trained memory, and almost superhuman understanding in certain things, do make and publish this, our last will and testament, hereby revoking and making void all former wills or promises by us at any time herebefore made, or idly spoken, one to another as the situations did occur. We first wish to direct that our funeral services shall be conducted by our friends and well-wishers, our principal and his all-wise and ever competent faculty, who have been our guardians for so long, only asking, as the last injunction of the dying, that the funeral be carried on with all the dignity and pomp that our worth, our merit, our attainments, and our positions as seniors of the grave and reverend mien must certainly have deserved. 12
