SENIOR CLASS HISTORY The great long-awaited day had arrived! September 1, 1934, and five of our present seniors began their cycle of education together. Mothers hearts were all a-flutter and all the boys and girls wanted to play games. So school began, The eight grades passed with customary happenings. At the close of grade school came eighth grade graduation, and the class colors, flower,and motto were chosen. Now, as Freshmen, we were practically adults, but a little scared. As a body of 35 persons, we did all right . An initiation party was given to us by the Sophomores. During the year we had a Christmas party, Valentine party, and the Class Picnic at Hartington. And so we advanced. As Sophomores we gave an initiation for the Freshmen, and had various other parties during the year. Then came the Junior-Senior banquet. From our class, three girls and three boys were chosen as waiters and waitresses, costuming as Dutch boys and girls. There was a dance after the banquet and every one was invited. As Juniors, we made our advance step; we were now in the upper bracket of our high school years. The whole class forged ahead. And then suddenly as if it didn’t seem time for it to happen, the Junior-Senior banquet was held. The theme was of a southern plantation. The King, a senior. Dale Adams; the Queen, a junior Jeannette Meyer, were crowned to rule over the plantation. A dance was held after the banquet. Thus the record of this class was a good, strong one, and then came- The Senior year, and last round of our battle . During the course of the four years, nine had dropped from the class; Gordon Backer, Arlene Barnes, Jack Clabaugh, Flo Cunningham, Velda Dooly, Mary Ann Lensing, Myrna Rethwish, Donna Tollard, and Donald Neilson.
