JUNE SENIORS . . CLASS OF 1954 JOHN HOFFMANN KAREN REIME JOELLEN MCFARLAND KEITH SCHROEDER TREASURER VICE PRESIDENT SECRETARY PRESIDENT A WORD FROM THE JUNE SENIOR CLASS PRESIDENT. . . As we say farewell to SHS, we feel a tinge of sorrow down in our hearts. Here, for four years, we have been engrossed in the world of activities of an outstanding high school. Here we have cemented lifelong friendships and gained invaluable knowledge. lt would be but trite to mention the Class of l954 and its leaders, for in every field -scholastic to extra-curricular to social-we have excelled. It is more important to sound out our future. We, in a few days, will add the Baccalaureate and Graduation to close the month of May and our high school memories. Then, with diploma in hand, we will go out into the worldg and, I am sure, we will go confidently prepared. Of our class many will go directly to work or possibly the services. Many more will represent SHS at colleges and universities. And some of us will proudly receive scholarships, for we certainly have a lot of brains among us. Yet, as we strive forward in the uncharted future, we will not forget our four years at SHS, we will always be grateful for our school traditions and other components of SHS. To the faculty and the students I, with my fellow colleagues of the Class of I954, say thank you. 155,54
