SENIOR CLASS HISTORY Of the senior class of l952, eight entered kindergarten at Onalaska in the fall ot 1939. These were Merle Hope, Charles Javorsky, Beverly Keenan, Loretta Olson, Mae Runyon, Don Spencer, Anthony Thomsen and John Wisner. September, l94-0, found twelve of this year's seniors in the first grade at Onalaska. These were: Buck Blankenship, Shirley Cusick,'Charles Javorsky, Beverly Keenan, Beverly Martin, Loretta Olson, Carole Rogers, Mae Runyon, Don Spencer, Anthony Thomsen, John Wisner, and Russell Wright. Those who have been going to school at Onalaska every year, from k i ndergart en and the first grade are: Buck Blankenship, Shirley Cusick, Charles Javorsky, Beverly Keenan, Beverly Martin, Loretta Olson, Carole Rogers, Mae Runyon, Anthony Thomsen and John Wisner. September, l944, when we were s tart i ng in the fifth grade, our class was enlarged by the consolidation of the smaller schools in the surrounding areas. The schools which consolidated were Alpha, Burnt Ridge, Cinebar, Knox, and Shoestring. At the time of our eighth grade graduation, there were sixty-four in the class. The next September we entered high school. As we were freshmen, the sophomore class had the privilege of initiating us. The next year we were sophomores, so we initiated the new freshmen. ln the spring of our second year in high school, a picnic at Offut Lake was high-light which we'll all remember. When we came back to school the next fall, as iuniors, we found that two of our class had been married. These were Darlene Jacobsen Rice and Delores Lyons Rice. During our iunior year we gained one member and lost three. Cheryl Mathewson entered from Boise,ldal1o. The three that we lost were married. They were: Ruth Reiman Kempf, Faye Snodgrass, Nederlander, and Grace Franklin Davis. Soon after school was out for the summer, we lost another member. This was Elaine Keenan Kempt. For most of us, this is the last year of school and many will be glad when it's over. We gained Doris Bowen this year.and lost Richard Snodgrass, who marriedxa iunior girl, Virginia Jennings, and our year is scheduled with many exciting events as this goes to press, and not least of these are our trip and graduation.
