After the first semester grades were all averaged, the top ten boys and girls were announced. The ten boys were Wziyne C. Lenz, James Benson, Edward Brockmeier, Lee G. Johnson, Roger Harmon, Mahlon Burbank, Richard Ahlgren, Russell johnson, Harvey Zeidenstein, and Roger Beckett. The girls who received high scholastic honors were joan W. Herrstrum, Grace A. Nappi, Mary M. Schwartz, Patricia Lundvall, Lillian Carlson, Francis Ralston, Nancy Ann johnson, Blenda Peterson, Luella joy Haegg, and Jean Kjellstrom. Now why was it that senior themes and spring fever popped up at the same time? The malady caused the seniors to put off theme writing to the last minute, when they reluctantly settled down to it. A short while after this the themes were handed in and everyone started looking forward to the next pleasant curve in the whirlpool, the senior prom. All the lucky girls who had dates rushed around trying to find the prettiest for- mal of them all, while the fellows only wondered about the prospects of wearing summer tuxes. At the dance, however, all troubles were ironed out, and everything seemed perfect. One of the last events of the year was the senior tea, which took its turn in the seniors' whirlpool on May 24 and 25. The seniors came to school displaying their Sunday best, fully prepared to act as hosts or hostesses to their parents. A-mf A 1 x 5 if W, r 4 , Q MH 5 Wi-uf 'ii K I-Q Q y my - he g ,Lim ,Q V1.6 stiff Then as the whirlpool reached its epitome, there was baccalaureate and graduation . . . no one will ever for- get it. Then, they found themselves a class confronted with many mixed emotions. The seniors, proudly, but sadly, put on their caps and gowns and went from the doorway of high school, never to forget their wonderful, carefree, high school days. L, ,Z Right Abtwe: Mahlon Burbank was chosen to enter the honor- ary journalistic Quill and Scroll Society in his junior year. Right Below: By vote of their senior class, Roger Harmon and Grace Nappi were elected Commencement speakers. Lower Right: A preview of graduation and the life ahead goes through the minds of Ronnie Anderson and Joyce Strand. Lower Left: just where our help came from: Miss Hazel Koch, senior class adviser, with a friendly word for everyone. '34 Wm. i F! ff- tit rf? xg
