CLASS HISTORY In September, 1939, thirty pioneers, Jack Beecher, Gerald Bergenbakken; Sammy Fough, Richard Lacy, Calvin Nelson, Alvin Norman, Richard Shoal, Frank Sano, Norman Sagave, Wallace Chaffee, Arnold Hultgren, Patricia Buck, Lois Bantz, June Brightsman, Harriet Dalby, Eloise Felbaum, Diane Fretheim, Ina Gesell, Donna Gunderson, Phyllis Kennedy, Betty Lou Larter, Gladys Leese- berg, Fay Mehl, Jacquleen Nelson, Betty Ann Rucker, Shirley Simonis, Gladys Smith, Yvonne Wilson, Marvel Lodahl, and Jean Schumaker, led by Miss Cora Melby, set out upon a journey, expecting to arrive at the summit of the Mountain of Knowledge within twelve years. The first few years of this journey lead them across the Desert of Trial, When the going got tough they took time out for a little entertainment obtained through the rythmn band. Trying to pass the Bog of Discouragement occupied the next few years. Many of the wagons cleared the swamp without difficulty but a few others were caught in the sand causing the passengers to drop by the wayside. Other wagons, how- ever, approached in the distance bringing reinforcements. Again the leader called a halt and this time the entertainment was in the form of a maypole dance during the fifth year. With only four years remaining of the long and tedious journey, they reached the Foothills of Sophistication. The Return Party given during this year was adjudged by many to be the best ever. The next year saw many of the boys enter athletics and the girls pledging the T.N.T. The pioneer snow bent in earnest towards the task before them and crossed the River of Conceit successfully. The Junior Prom and Banquet were given and also the Class Play, Our Miss Brooks . At last the travelers reached the Mountain of Knowledge. This Year they excelled in athletics, scholastic achievement, and journalistic fields, including the Wildcat and their yearbook. They procured as a symbol of their journey a ring, and chose as their colors blue and silver. Twenty-six survivirs have attained the apex of their climb, and have planted the flag of the Class of '52 at the summit of the mountain. Among these are Frank Sano, Diane Fretheim, Betty Lou Larter, Fay Mehl, Jackquleen Nelson, Betty Ann Rucker, Shirley Simons, and Yvone Wilson, the eight hardy souls who have remained together for the entire twelve years' journey. There, with mingled feelings of regret for the passing years, satisfaction for an ideal accomplished, and hope for the future, they look beyond toward the moun- tains of Higher Knowledge and the Sea of Happiness. 14
