Time Flies For Senior Class Senior Class Officers 12th—Seated: Dick Gardner, president; Standing left to right: Marlene King, sec- retary; Lester Beemink, vice president; Shirley Mertens, treasurer. For the seniors time moved very swiftly. It seemed like only yesterday that we first entered grade school and then got our first glimpse of high school life upon entering seventh grade. From seventh grade on the days flew by as we gained not only knowledge from books, but knowledge of everyday living by learning to cooperate and get along with our classmates in the classroom and various activities. As our senior year began we could hardly believe we were on our last lap and looked for- ward to if with eagerness along with sadness. First of all, the long awaited day arrived when we received our class rings. Then we moved on into the thrilling activities of Homecoming and watched our senior sportsmen make their final appearances in football. Our class sponsored several concessions and dances throughout the year to add to our financial status, then we swung along into basketball season. The final games held a touch of sadness for us as it marked the near end of high school sports we'd be see- ing. In the spring rehearsals for class play began with excitement and confusion reigning until the last curtain fell with huge applause for our efforts. We then realized the fun we'd had in putting our play together and knew it was some- thing we'd never forget. Then our thoughts turned to graduation and many of us were eager, but a little frightened, too, at what lay beyond. We busied ourselves selecting our announcements and preparing for the big day. So we come to the end of our school days, which will be remembered and cherished forever by the class of 1956. Girl's And Boy's State Each year one girl and one boy are selected from the Junior Class to attend Girl's and Boy's State which is held on the Uni- versity of Minnesota campus in June. They must be leaders in their class and must also have a high scholastic average. The American Legion Auxiliary and the American Legion sponsor these projects in order to better acquaint these students with their local, county, and federal government by actually living it for one week. They hold offices and take part in sessions in the State Capitol. 18 Sandra Olson and James Kuelbs
