fi C OC FG HX J K L fi H O PO R STItVWXr 2 4BCOEFGW; r Anybody have a question about the seniors? w ere to begin? Nineteen-fifty — a census taking year! A count of noses reveals 101 students as active members of the senior class. Specifically, 44 of blonde' category, 51 brunettes, and 6 redheads. It was a lean year for gals, however, with the ratio of female-male at 56-45. Thirty - three, almost one-third, of the class wore glasses and two sported goggles (sometimes). The class had the unusual distinction of having four sets of twins and five p.k.’s (preacher's kids). Here we stop classifying, for each member of the entire class had two eyes and two ears, one nose and one mouth, and all wore shoes—a left and a right.

The thrill of having George Grim address our graduating class . . . We looked both proud and slightly sad that night as we made our way forward to accept our diplomas. There were a number of seniors who rated high scholastically, but those who finally came out as top ten, with the high- est averages in four years of high school work included nine girls and one fellow. The ten students in their order of standing were: Lois Runge, valedictorian; Lenore Engelbrecht, salutatorian; Lois Mae Olson, Delores Bow- ers, Mariann Otte, Violet Ubbens, JoAnn Jensen, Paul Strand, Arlene Holm, and Faith Abel.
