MASS HISTIIHY Four years ago we started on the largest venture of our lives, or so it seemed then. After much anticipation and excitement, summer had passed and school opened for another year, but for ps this was different. This was the first day of our high school ife. Sixty brave students entered Lincoln Hill High School as fresh- men in the fall of 1949. Those who entered were Maynard Vold, Jerald Johnson, Dale Amundson, Glenn Vold, Dale Johnson, War- ren Butek, Darrell Fitch, Eldor Henning, Orville Johnson, Rob- ert Otto, Richard Wadsworth, John Berens, Gary Swenson, Char- lotte Nelson, Verna Sell, Colleen Hudson, Jane Olia, Collen Hein, Janice Anderson, Virginia Gullard, Charlotte Steen, Jeannette Anderson, Leah Ray Hein, Joann Brown, Mavis Peterson, Sylvia Nokelby, Gary Olson, Eldon Gunderson, John Barnhardt, Dennis Johnson, Martin Sell, Roger Christianson, Larry Larson, Nor- man Stuber, Donald Olson, Ivan Peterson, Robert Rongstad, La- verne Martin, Philip Scheuermann, Roger Hass, Billy Baum, Alva Sandler, Emelia Maug, Louise Porter, Evelyn Torpen, Nanette Olson, Loetta Ross, Janice Gunderson, Yvonne Hintz, Phyllis Matz, Marie Goss, Grace Scheuermann, Lyman Gunem, Larry Caucutt, Barbara Lowe, Ross Fiedler, and Alyce Ivers, Gordon Douglas, Eugene Bauer, Buck Bauer, and Warren McBride joined our class the second semester. We chose as our class officers, Ross Fiedler, president, Lar- ry Caucutt, vice presidentg Barbara Lowe, secretary, and Alyce Ivers, treasurer. Mr. Olson and Mrs. Wallace were our class advisors. As freshmen we were treated in a most peculiar manner dur- ing the first few weeks of school. The sophomores seemed to have no mercy on us. Since then we have had the opportunity to turn our vengeance on the present juniors. There is no need to remind everyone of the odd things we did as freshmen, for every- one remembers. Our school days continued to be more interesting as we began havin parties, ball games, singing in the choir, an belonging to schoo1 activities. On Sept. 5, 1950, we returned as sophomores, with 54 mem- bers in our class. Two new members, John Brevik, and Eugene Norby, joined our class this year. Those who failed to return with us were John Barnhardt, Buck Bauer, Raymond Bratsven, Marie Goss, Dennis Johnson, Orville Johnson, Elgart Miske, Martin Sell, Evelyn Torpen, and Richard Wadsworth. Robert Rongstad was chosen as our class president for this year. Other officers were Barbara Lowe, vice president, Louise Porter, secretary, and Joann Brown, treasurer. Mr. Herum and Mr. Bolander acted as our advisors. At last we could express our superiority over the freshmen. We had the privilege of initiating them on Sept. Z7. As sophomores we were active in nearly all the school activi- ties. We also had members in band, choir, and the various clubs. We enrolled as Juniors in the fall of 1951. At last we were upperclassmen! Of course we still had to look up to the seniors, but we had two classes looking up to us. Our junior class officers were Ross Fiedler, president, Joann Brown, vice president, Phyllis Matz, secretary, and Don Olson, treasurer. Mrs. Ward and Miss Vander Kamp served as our ad- visors. Along with the junior year came many extra things to do. One of the big events was the class play, Who Wouldn't Be Crazy,

directed by Miss A. Vander Kamp on November ninth. The other highlight was the Junior Prom April 21, under the setting Song of the Island. Darrell Fitch and Alyce lvers reigned as king and queen. Their attendants were Ross Fiedler, Toni Hudson, Dale Johnson, Mavis Peterson, Don Olson, Phyllis Matz, Robert Rong- stad and Barbara Lowe. The music was by Jimm Knight. This was the year we had been waiting for. Our senior year had come at last. The course of our study was much different and very crowded with the other extra-curricular activities. Our senior class had 48 members. Ronald Vradenburg, Leah Ray Hein, and Eugene Bauer did not return. During the year Roger Christianson, John Brevik, and Stanley Vradenburg dropped out. Mr. Johnson was our class advisor. Class officers were Ross Fiedler, president, Louise Porter, vice president, Joann Brown, secretary, and Alyce lvers, treasurer. The senior class play, The Wailin Shadows was presented April 24. Miss Vander Kamp was our firector. The end of our senior year and high school life drew closer each day. Class night was held May 15, and Baccalaureate ser- vices May 17. lt was on Commencement, May 21, that we real- ized the truth of our motto, Climb Though the Rocks be Rugged. Not only have the last four years taught us a great deal of valuable information to prepare us for our responsibility as adults, but more important than that we have learned to co-operate so that we can take our place in this ever changing world. RSM-64' .Mi .,.g,, LA LL c ss wi X When Grandma Jones, alias the Senior Class of 1953, was a youncg girl she consulted a fortune teller who informed her that her eath would occur on May 21, 1953. Due to her superstitions, she decided to draw up her last Will and Testament with the no- Eoflious law firm of Crooks-, Crooks, and Crooks, which reads as o ows: I, Dale Amundson, will my ability to milk cows to Dick Lee. To Anthony Gizewski and Sonja Hegg, we, Bill Baum and Grace Scheuermann, will our tremendous height, so they will be as tall as us in their senior year. Warren Butek wills his knowledge of automobiles to Mr. Olson so he can keep his Ford in running condition. Larry Caucutt feels as though Arlan Carter needs some of his acting ability, that is around girls. Ross Fiedler thinks Russ Yarnall might find some of his hints helpful when taking out his many girlfriends. Augusta has proved to be quite interesting to many of our Os- seo boys. Andy Gunderson won't have to look any longer though, because Darrell Fitch has just willed his ex-girl friend to him. Roger Haas feels sure that Lyle Swartz could use some of his pep and energy, and we agree! Janice and Jeanette Anderson will the great happiness they share as twins to Larry and LaVonne lndrebo in hopes that they will get along as perfectly as they did while in high school. I, Joann Brown, will my nickname hips to Anne Aune in hopes that she enjoys it as much as I did. Alyce lvers wills her good times in a Ford to Marlene P.
