SENIOR CLASS HISTORY September 3, 1951, ninety-five apprehensive freshman lads and lassies entered the portals of P.R.H.S. After the frightening ordtals of initiationhad been endured and found not to be as bad as expected, we settled down to a year of work. Our class officers were: President, George Bonewell; Vice-President. Ken Schultz; Secretary, Jo Ann Bowers; and Treasurer, LesLangseth. The advisors were Mrs. Martin and Mr. Emmel. A Sophomore Return Party was held and the year was culminated with a roller skating party at Detroit Lakes. In the fall of 52 eighty-five confident sophomores returned to take out on the unfortunate frosh their pains from initiation. Gerry Bowers, Ed Bredahl, Ginger Boe, and Mervin Sorum were our class officers, with Mr. Haugen and Miss Lace as advisors. Our Homecoming attendants and escorts were Ginger Boe, Shirlee Ellingson, Jerald Moses, and Ken Schultz. One of our activities was decorating and ushering for graduation. Rain spoiled our plans for a picnic, so the last day was spent in school. The Prom and Banquet, the magazine sales, theClass Play (THE DOCTOR IN SPITE OF HIMSELF) were the main activities of our junior year. With the help of our advisors, Mr. Sanderson and Mr. Fauteck, these projects were a great success. The class was headed by Bob Sillerud, Roger Haugrud, Ed Bredahl, and Audrey Grimm. Marge Carlson and Jo Ann Bowers with the escorts Ken Schultz and George Bonewell represented our class at the Coronation. Camp Acquilla was our picnic spot. Shirlee Ellingson escorted by Ken Schultz and Jerald Moses, ruled over 54” Homecoming Festivities. Her senior attendants, Jo Ann Bowers and Mary Lou Paulson were escorted by George Bonewell and Les Langseth. Our Trip Group was organized with the following officers: Sylvia Sorum, Virginia Boe, Shirlee Ellingson and George Bonewell. Under the supervision of Miss Overboe and Mr. Fauteck, our plans for our Chicago trip were successful. The seventy-seven seniors have the following class officers: Loretta Isaccson, Ken Schultz, Annetta Sherbrooke, and Jo Ann Bowers. We, who are graduating in the class of 55 ’, are deeply grateful to Superintendent Basil Shipp, the members of the faculty, theschool board, our advisors, and our parents for giving us so many opportunities, and such willing leadership to this junction of our educational career. Wherever we may go, the memory of our school days in P.R.H.S. will always be with us. CLASS COLORS CLASS MOTTO CLASS FLOWER Blue and White With the ropes of the past.
