Our class production this year was the comedy, Little Women. Starred in the play were Betty Tietz as the tomboy, Jo, and Clint Cossairt as the handsome Laurie. Other dramatic productions that the seniors took part in were the Homecoming skit and the one-act plays. The class of '49 is well known for its ath- letic accomplishments.

All seventy-six of us felt pretty big as the seniors of the Junior High, and high school stu- dents. We organized as a class by electing as president, John Sandquistg vice president, Art Starr, secretary, Pat Schuellerg and treasurer, Donna Thompson. Student council representa- tives were Mathilda Retzlaff, Arlys Scheel, Betty Skuza, Joyce Yozamp, Gene Golem- beck, Don Lcners, David Oltz, and Don Hill. who served as president. We celebrated with parties many holidays, including Hallowe'en, Christmas, Valentines Day, Arbor Day, and the end of school with a picnic. Miss Kennedy and Mrs. Rhoda were our freshman class ad- visors. We didn't feel quite so big as we started off our real high school days on the hill as un- derdogged sophomores. We, however, pulled ourselves together to elect our class officers. Marilyn Nelson was voted president, and Joe Poepping, vice president. Secretarial duties were given to Jean Nierengarten, while Don Leners handled the money. Advisors were Mrs. Geraldine Seedorf and Mr. Sam Malko- vich. We chose as attendants to the Home- coming celebration, Pat Schueller and Joyce Yozamp. Already, our more brave members were entering school life. Athletics, music, and sp-eech activities were claiming many sopho- more hearts. High spots of the year were our sophomore party in January, '48, and the annual school picnlc at Little Rock Lake. The former was our first contribution to the school's social life. It was also many of the boys' first contri- butions to the fine art of dancing, as many of the girls will remember who went home with swollen feet. The picnic was perfect, with warm weather, plenty of good food, and ideal conditions for boating and even swimming, for the braver students. Once more gaining a little prestige, we en- tered school as upperclassrnen''-commonly called juniors. With all due modesty, we bc- lieve we have contributed enormously to mus- ic, speech, and athletics in S.R.H.S. Our band which took an A rating in district competi- tion includes fourteen juniors. The juniors have really shone in the speech department. The debate team was composed entirely of juniors: Jackie Roberts, Kathy Hone-brink. Jean Nierengarten, and Marilyn Nelson. In the district speech contest, we found most of the contestants sent from Sauk Rapids were fellow classmen. Our addition to the dramatic productions of the year was Oscar Wilde's The Importance Page 7lIl'C'IIf-3'-7lll'O
