Graduation We regret very much the 'fact that we are about to leave Russell High School. We trust that this is not the end of our educational careers, but rather the first Step of an intellectual ladder lead- ing to higher things of life. V As graduation draws near, we realize, probably for the first time, that the time of parting with the faculty and students is near, an-d the many friendships that we have made we Shall forever hold dear. Although we have ftrod the pathway together this fiar, we now must part, each one tak- ing his own course. As Freshmen, the four years of High Scho.ol between' us and graduation seemed a long time., but now, as Seniors, we -feel that it has gone all too swiftly. As we feel the diplomas in our han-ds, 'we also feel the sincere regret in our hearts that 0-ur days in Russell High are over. Our Baccalaureate services will be helfd on the Sunday preceding graduation. Tle Bap'ift minister will deliver the Baccalaureate address this year at the Russell High School aud. torium. After we have graduated we will be happy due to the facit that we can :say with great pride, We are graduates of tl e Russell High School. Fern Brechler 1 Class History Of the class that entered school in the first grade on September 1, 1922, Vivilore Hansen, Gor- don Purdy, Jerrold Tipler, Mavis Munson, and Robert Grove began in high school together, also. Our other three members who entend high school with us, Irene Crozier, Fern Brechler, and Irene Miller, came here from other schools when in the third, fifth and eight grades first year of high school life, Frances Swanson, and Roland, respectively. In our we were joined bv Raymond and Mar- lowe Peter'-ion, but Marlowe and Raymond .dropped out before the year was over. Oif course, we did not accomplish much that year, but We were just conservfng our energy fOr future greatness. Much of our -energy was removed by the initiation, but we came through with fiying colors Cas our motto would have it--Sailing On.J Our teachers. for the year were: Miss Carl, Miss Ede, and Mr. Point. The most interesting situation of the year was the fact that the boys, with the exception of Jerrold, took Home Ec., with the girls. In our Sophomore year we gained tvio rew pu- pils, Marjorie Iilotte and Kenneth Rittow. Irene Miller, Mavis Mvnson, Vivifore Hansen and Mar- jorie Pilatte entered the Declamatory contest. Marjorie rlace-d first in the dramatic group. All of the girls but Marjorie l:-elonffrd to the Glee Club, and many of us went out for kittenbal and basket ball. Our teachers were: Miss Ede, Miss Schlamann, Mr. Point and Mr. Maursetter. In 1933 we started school as Juniors with high hopes of so0n being Seniors. .Ofur class was slightly diminished as Marjorie, Frances ariid Kenneth dis- continued school and went to school at St. Paul and Wi lrnar, resxpectively. Besides our other ac- tivities, we gave the Sen'ors a banquet which rep- resented a circus and was complete with clown waitresses, wild animals, and balloons, and some of the class, Mavis, Gondon, and Jerrold took part in the .Senior class play. This year Jerrold took first p'ace in the oratorical division. Miss Schlamiann, Mr. Point and Mr. Mikelson were Our teachers. As Seniors, our class was decreased. again, be- cause Irene Miller undertook a venture in matri- mony and Robert Grove decided to remain a Jun- ior. Now that we are Seniors we must set good ex- amples for our l0wer classmates, but we're afraid if they follow our erampes they'll be worse off than they are now. Our teacl-ers this year are: Miss Richardson, Miss Ede, Mr. Mikeltson and Mr. Point, who is also our class advisor. Jerrold is our class president, Gordon, vice-president, Fern, secretary, and Mavis, treasurer. Our class play, Oh Susan , was put on. November 9, 1934. Lucille R'stow of Willmer joined our class which mak-s our .orcmnt enrollment eight. To keep up our fame: Jerrold walked off with oratorical honors in Declarn.at0ryg all of the girls belonged to the Glee Club, all of the boys played on the kittenball, basket ball and soccer ball teams, two of tlte girls, Mavis and Fern, played On the kittsnball and basket ball teamsg Fern, Vivilore, and Lucille belonged to the orches- tra, and .most of vs worked on the ischool paper, at least some of the time. -Gordon Purdy -Jerrold Tipler.
