It has often be n remarked that history has a peculiar way of repeating itself, and so to a certain extent the history of this c- lass is much like the history of classes which have gone before, and of others which will follow, So, remembering that to many people history is o rath r dull subject except to those who hove taken part in it personally, we the Class of 1946 will strive to be as brief os possible and to touch only uDon those subjects which are of significance not only to the class but to others. According to the findings of the students of the educational statistics, only a comparatively small per cer.t of thos who have entered and finished high school, go on ond prepare for the leerned professions and for callings demanding extensive and specialized tra ining. For various reasons, the members of the incoming .class of September 1942, represented we believe, a particularly promising grou as is shown by the feet that a largo percentage of the class have won homors and prizes. Early in our high school life, a class organization was frrned and the following officers selected by way of ’'ass leadership. These have been succeeded from time to time at our annual elections as follows, and it is not without good reason as you may well guess that a number have succeeded themselves several times, Richard Seuley was president in the Freshman year. Darlene Johnson was vice president and Lemoyne Uu■.• k w:.s sccr.t ry and treasurer. Our Sponsor w,.s Mis Woodman. During our Sophomore ye..r D. rxeme Johnson was president. Jack Witte was Vice president and Virginia Nyberg was secretary and treasurer. Miss Johnson was our sponsor. During our Junior ye -r, Phyllis Cramer was class president. ' cr.ueth Vri. nhus«.c res vice preside, t i nd Don Wilson was s.-.cret ry and treoauv r cur Senior year, w - shoes as jr. ocie-nt. leek Witte. Darlene Johnson, vice president, : nd Dale Lindburg, D cr try and treasurer. During our Junior nd Senior years, Uiso Anderson was our sponsor. We believe that the experience geindd and tte leadership dev- eloped will be of decided advantage inyears to come. In tpe point of scholastic attainments, our class has not lag- ged behind other classes. We h: ve lighted many be: cons by the way- side, the lights of which are bound to shine far. The V; ledictor- . ian of our class is Re the Creech. The Salutorian is Phyllis Pet- erson. This would apper to be almost enough, but it dots not com- plote the telling of the story by any me ns. Socially our activi- ties h ve been -11 that could be expected of us and perh .ps all that it w .s wise for us to undertake without infringing upon more 4 serious business of the cl ssroom, the study hall, '-nd the lab- oratory.
