SENIOR CLASS HISTORY In the fall of 1929, when the carefree little primary children came to school on the first day, they were greeted by their teacher, Miss Green. In that group were nine mem- bers of our Class of 1941, Hazel Baker, George Cook, Martha Glaser, June Larson, Maurice McCloskey, Mariane Nichols, Dorothy Peterson, Genevieve Sanders, and Harold Trett. Through twelve fleeting years we played, worked, laughed, wept, and lived together much as the members of a large and loving family. We have shared each other's troubles, misfortunes, glories, and success. Now, as the time draws near for us to part, let us draw together a few of the threads of the past, tracing the develop- ment of our Class of 1941 from its original nine children to the 59 young men and women who now make up the group of which we are so proud. Our teacher in the second year was Miss Hutsinpillar. No new members were added that year, but as third graders under Miss Hubbard, we welcomed four additions. Nordie Featherstone, of Oakes City Schools, Louise and Alvin Hansen, from Divide No. 2, and Clarence Stenquist, from Valley City, came to us that year. In our fourth year Berenice Carlson and Marilyn Perkins came to us as we labored through our lessons under Miss Gillette, who also taught our group in the fifth term. Kieth Karpen came from Steele, N. D. in that year. As we passed into our sixth term of school, we felt a thrill of accomplishment. To us the sixth grade was really a coveted group and membership in the body gave us a prestige to be envied by all. During that term Frances Mueller came from Haynes, N. D. to ioin our ranks. Our teacher that year was Ma Bailey, now the only remaining member of our teaching staff of the lower grades. ln grades seven and eight we were flattered by having different teachers for the various subiects. Being important enough to merit the attention of specialists was a good feeling. Our teachers were, Miss Christianson, Mr. Sussex, Mr. Rife and Mr. Cummings. CliFford Kraft came to the group in the 7th grade from Verner No. 3. In the eighth year we were joined by LeVone Olson who came to us from Norway School No. 3. In the year 1937, something in the way of a miraculous change began to be no- ticed in our group. As members of the Freshman Class of Oakes State High School, a newly found dignity and social position was ours. Girls began to wear silk stockings and to compete with each other in neatness of dress and coiffure. Boys began to abolish grubby knuckles and marble playing. The Class of '41 was growing up. ln our first year of high school, there was a large group of new students. We list those below with the previous school address of each student. - Name Anderson, Berdine Anderson, Robert E.
