Senior Class History On a bright and sunshiney morning in September, 1941, eight very shy and bashful freshmen slowly climbed the stairs to the much-looked- forward-to high school. The second week of the school we really got the “works” in initiation from the sophomores. It continued for a whole week, with something different each day. And there was that much-hated little poem, which we had to say upon our knees to any upper-classman: “I, a lowly freshman worm, upon my knees before thee squirm.” Later in the school year, Allen Nantz and Don Hoyt left us, so this left only six of us, who were as follows: Joan Johnson, Dorothy Petersen, Kath- leen Curran, Kerwyn Tally, Kenneth Miller, and Elsie Nice. We weathered the ups and downs” of our Freshman year and the next year became sophomores. In our sophomore year we taunted the greenhorns” in much the same way that we had been treated. During the school year, Howard Taylor of Haines, and Patsy Colpitts of Hermiston enrolled in our class. On December 4, we presented a play, “The Party.” All of the members were active in dramatics, athletics, and other extra curricular activities during the year. At the beginning of our junior year we gained two new members, Floy Mann, and Margaret Wicks. On March 10, we presented a three act mystery play, Hobgoblin House. The highlight of our Junior year was the traditional Junior-Senior banquet and prom, which was financed by the selling of hot dogs at the basketball games. At last our long waited for senior year began and we found among our ranks three new faces, Ralph Leonnig of Muddy Creek, Maxine Nof- singer from Joseph, and Edna Kenworthy. Joan Johnson was elected queen of the jamboree and gave the trophy to the winning team. We have had lots of good times together this year but the best was our “senior sneak day” on which we went to Portland and Salem for four delightful days. We are to wear caps and gowns at commencement this year. Our class wishes to extend our deep felt thanks to our advisor, Mr. G. L. Fuller who has helped us through the trials and troubles of our Senior year.
