SENIOR CLASS HISTORY Although we are few In number, our small class does not lack in brains. Sadie Morgan. Carleton Hennlngsen and Halbert Ball passed up together from the grades. In the freshman year we had thirteen members—Lenora Parduhu. Elsie and Lenora Hansen, Sadie Morgan. Alice Fisher, Carleton Henningsen, Halbert Ball, Arthur Burle-ton. Edwin Bristol, Lester Hobbs. Arthur Cowles. Arthur Weber and Earl MeCumber, the last two leaving at the close of the year. The next year being our sophomore year, we were no longer green but worked hard, many of our members winning honors in the oratorical and declamatory contest and in basketball. Toward the close of the year we were unfortunate In losing one of our prominent members. Lenora Parduhn. When we became juniors our number had decreased to seven, but as we took up our work in 1913. we were again rather unlucky; Edwin Bristol, Arthur Burleton and Lester Hobbs not returning to school. In this year of our school life we had great fun preparing for the junior banquet, which we gave on St. Patrick’s day. Although many think this is the hardest year we really did not find it so. Our geometry problems were at first difficult but we soon mastered them and they became easy. Our senior year has been the most difficult but we will soon finish it with flying colors. Our number has now decreased to six. Elsie and Lenora Hansen having left us to take up their new home in Illinois. We were very sorry to see them go but Mattie Gebhardt came to us from Rosen-dale to give us our even number. She finished her first two yeirs in Rosendale High as a very good scholar and hence added to the brilliancy of the class. During this year the boys won many honors in football, which became a very popular game. Much of our time, however, was spent In studying. Many nights we did not leave the school house until late, being very busy with our physics experiments, which we had in great numbers. In this year another misfortune was the illness of our professor and his enforced absence from school. A substitute was almost immediately obtained so we were not delayed much in our work. Our teachers helped us considerably with our work and we are deeply indebted to them. These were Mr. PufTer. Miss Stolp and Miss Broderick, the first year; Mr. Patterson. Miss Hill and Miss Bangsberg the second and third years, and the last year Mr. Lentzner, Miss Fisher and M ss Dougherty. Although we are sorry to leave school, we are nevertheless glad to be able to move forward to other and higher pursuits. 16
