CLASS One of the most enthusiastic classes of young scholars ever to enter the portals of S.P.H.S. started its high school career on September 16, 1946. A class meeting was held during which class officers were chosen as follows: Patty Lenander. president; John Annexstad, vice-president; and Sally Boys, secretary-treasurer. Student Council members were John Annexstad and Patty Lenander. Howard Nelson was the class adviser. Our first year was a year for many firsts in S.P.H.S. We helped publish our first printed newspaper, Peter Patter, and went to the first masquerade dance in the history of the school. We observed Leap Week for the first time and had our youth center, The Cellar. Our class took first prize in the Homecoming Parade Float contest. Basketballers took first place in the District Junior High tourney and the fellows also participated in other sports. Almost all of the freshmen girls sang in the 100-voiced Girls' Glee club which, under the direction of Mr. Erickson, received an A rating. On our class picnic, held at Ottawa Park, we were accompanied by Miss Tussing and Mr. Nelson. At the end of the year Mr. Davis, super- intendent, retired. Thus ended the year of our launching. The enrollment of our sophomore class was boosted con- siderably with the addition of the Kasota High School students. Class officers were selected as follows: John An- nexstad, president; Verle Carter, vice-president; and Valerie Olson, secretary-treasurer. Richard Faust and Patty Lenander were chosen as Student Council members. Mr. Jess Miller end Mrs. Violet Hanson were class advisers. Mr. Hegdal assumed the duties of superintendent of schools while Mr. Edstrom became our principal. We took first place in the Homecoming Float contest again this year. Sports showed importance during the year with the Saints placing first in the District 13 basketball tourney. Richard Faust was chosen for the all-conference mythical team. The first operetta presented in S.P.H.S. was Sunbonnet Sue which was under the direction of Mr. Miller. The newly organized mixed chorus received an A rating in the district contest while the band was rated with an A plus. The band received an A at the state contest. We held our class picnic at Robart’s Glen with Mr. Jess Miller, chaperone. The junior class assembled in September 1948 with much enthusiasm for the exciting year ahead. Mr. Miller was again our class adviser. James Miller was elected president of the class: Valerie Olson, vice-president; Dagmar Reusch, secretary; and Boyd Meyer, treasurer. As Student Council members, we elected Verle Carter and Sharon Anthony. This year we celebrated Homecoming by selecting two queen attndants, Pattie Pell and Patty Lenander. Our float was again awarded first prize. Many members of the class played in the orchestra which received an A rating in the state. V
