Clayton Krause ................................President Calvin Geisthardt.........................Vice President Raymond Doyle Secretary-Treasurer Motto: “Let Us Be Known By Our Deeds” Flower: Pink Carnation Colors: Blue and White Class History We started the 1941-1942 school year with one new classmate, namely, Elmer Conner. Later, however, we gained Alma Robbins and Esther Burri. We also lost some of our former classmates, Ray Oelke, Albert Anderson, Faye Guse, Leonard Buell, and Selon Bartz, so our number was reduced. We’re very proud of our athletes, Ray Doyle, Don Guelzow, Calvin Geisthardt, Dale Kramer, Clayton Krause, Jim Doyle, and Elmer Conger, but we mustn’t forget the very capable Sophomore manager of both the football and basketball teams, John Kenyon. Our class is well represented in the band by Dale Kramer, Margaret Schoepke, Clayton Krause, Jean Mary Randall, Shirley Coon, Edward Parduhn. Alma Robbins, and Elvera Pfalzgraf. Practically fifty per cent of the class are musicians in the band. Margaret Ryan is the only Sophomore who participated in forensics this year and the whole class is proud of her. Most of the girls are members of the G. A. A. and are active in their athletic activities. During the year we gave two school parties, one being the initiation party which we really enjoyed immensely. This year is rapidly drawing to a close, and we feel that we have come a long ways since we were Freshmen. We hope to make still further gains during our last two years of high school.

Junior Class Back—E. Kaul, R. Geisthardt, Mr. Droegkamp, D. Hill Front—W. Reents, R. Dejardin, E. Dille Rosemary Dejardin............................. President Roiland Geisthardt. .......................Vice President Ethel Dille ................Secretary-Treasurer Motto: Great Oaks From Little Acorns Grow Flower: For-get-me-not Color: Blue and Gold Class History Upon entering our Junior year, we found to our amazement that we were grown up. Only one more step and we will have reached the coveted goal of a high school Senior. In number our class disintegrated by leaps and bounds. Those who left our midst are: Alvin Briggs, Lowell Horning, Jean Norenberg, Dorothy McKnight, Dorothy Wachendorf, and Roland Steinke. This left six Juniors, but we made up for it, for we six participated in almost every extracurricular activity. Rosemary Dejardin was elected president; Roiland Geisthardt, vice-president and Ethel Dille, secretary and treasurer. These three represented us on the Student Council. Don Hill and Roiland are our athletes, Don playing basketball and Rollie both football and basketball. Enough can’t be said about their value to the team. In band, Ethel, Roiland and Rosemary proved to be quite active. They all play reed instruments. The former a clarinet and the latter two, alto sax s. Elton Kaul and Bill Reents were members of the Oak’s Club. Rosemary and Ethel belonged to the G.A.A. Bill Reents was the only Junior who took part in forensics. Mr. Droegkamp, our advisor, guided us bravely through the many problems w'hich any Junior Class encounters. Class rings of modern design were purchased from the Josten Company. Because of the conditions we decided not to have a regular promenade in Spring, but a Senior Dance in its place. Slim Manthey and his orchestra will furnish the music. Instead of our motto being, “Great Oaks From Little Acorns Grow,” perhaps it should be, “It’s not the quantity, but the quality that counts. Page 9
