 Jfistori V SWISH! Quick, grab your mortar board, don’t trip on your gown, diplomas are flying and our days of seeking are over. We have finally struck oil! In the fall of 1942 a group of roughnecks set out in search of oil. These included: Orval Bantz, David Clawson, Kenneth Collins, Robert Hallesy,, Mario Hilyard, Gaylen Marsh, Thomas Meeham, Jon Mehl, Michael Michels, Richard Munson, Roy Nelson, Milo Olson, Maxine Granvold, Harry Sano, Daryle Syme, Roger Hallquist, Robert Drager, Donna Blee, Eileen Ceartin, Ruby Crouse, Shirley Fulkerson, Barbara Pierce, Caroline Heppner, Marilyn Hoven, Patty Johnson, Jerry Lester, Carol Myles, Rie Rucker, Faye Sandal, Rita Schumacker, Nancy Willard, Donna Welter, and Shirley Mae Johnson. With the passing of each year, although the actual negotiation was not yet attained, they grew in know-how. As they progressed from year to year, a few dropped by the wayside, but in spite of the loss, the gang grew in number with re- placements who came from afar to join the crew. After eight years, the gang was ready to take a new and more important step toward their explorations. They cast aside their crude ways and put on a new air of sophistication. By this time the party consisted of fifty-five tool pushers, one of the largest groups to begin this phase. With the beginning of the new phase, they chose a capable new head geologist, Mrs. Bernadine Palutzke.who guided the crew along the path to success. Entering the more developed field they were properly greeted and initiated. They scored their first success by giving the Freshmen return party, a sock dance. The second year was a pleasant one. Several of the girls were given membership in T.N.T. and F.H.A., and many of the boys were active in football, basketball, and baseball. In the third year they transformed the auditorium into a “Deep Sea” atmosphere for the Junior and Senior Prom and likewise carried the under the ocean theme for the banquet. The production, “Men Are Like Streetcars” was presented by a group of talented roughnecks. 1953 saw them enter with a new dignity. They staged the traditional senior ball, “White Christmas” and the annual class play “Nothing But the Truth” Publication of the annual and sneak day were among the bright spots of the last year. We want to thank all of those who have made our expedition possible. Hats off to Superintendent L. A. Wollan, the class advisor, Mrs. Palutzke, the members of the faculty, the school board, and our parents for giving us so many opportunities, and such willing leadership to this junction of success. Wherever we may go this expedition will always be with us. Class flower: Yellow rose Class colors: Blue and Yellow Class Motto: “Today we follow; tomorrow we lead”
