. SENIOR CLASS HISTORY In September, 1939, the present senior class entered through the doors of Stanwood High, a group of forty-seven, very confused and anxious students. Like every other freshman class, we had our share of embarrassment and we provided the upper classmen with much amusement. On the Hrst leg of our journey through high school, we elected the 'follow- ing class officers: president, Ingrid Mathisen, vice-president, Gerald Ross, sec- retary, Arlene Lindsay, treasurer, Wallace Thurmond, sergeant-at-arms, Dick Lund, and representative on the board of control, Chuck Simonson. Mrs. Davi- son, our adviser, helped us through the first year. Early in the year the sopho- mores honored us with a party which we acknowledged at a later date. While sophomores, Mr. Hanson was our adviser and the officers were: president, Marian Hatton, vice-president, Gerald Ross, secretary and treasurer, Ed Strand, sergeant-at-arms,IDick Lund, and representative on the board of control, Semon Anderson. The social events of the year were the traditional Frosh-Soph parties. Jack Maris, as president charted the course which we followed during our third year. Bill Cheatley served as vice-president, Barbara Thurmond, secretary, Dick Olsen, treasurer, James Pedersen, sergeant-at-arms, and Semon Anderson again spoke for the juniors on the board of control. The big event of the year for us was the Junior-Senior Banquet with its Hawaiian theme. Palm trees, grass huts, and flowers gave the banquet hall the atmosphere of the Islands. Near the end of the year the class chose Don Wick and Barbara Thurmond to lead the seniors at graduation. The success of our activities would never have been attained had it not been for the inspirational leadership of Miss Kipperberg. Now, as high and mightyv seniors, reveling in our importance we met and chose Mary Jane Boe, president, Maynard Christensen, vice-president, Aileen Pryor, secretary, Dennis Hamilton, treasurer, Bill Cheatley, sergeant-at- arms, and Don Wick, representative o-n the board of control. The success with which we carried out our activities this year was due to the guidanceof Mrs. Lewis, our talented and resourceful adviser. At Christmas, the seniors presented a short play typifying a visit to Santa's Workshop with a modern wartime touch. The Mexican Theme used in decorat- ing for our ball made it the social highlight of the year. In May the senior girls served at the Mother and Daughter Tea, thus maintaining a tradition of long standing. As we draw near to our high school jour-ney's end we see in the distance familiar landmarks-The Junior-Senior banquet, with its military theme, Class Day, Baccalaureate and finally Commencement. Q It is with some sadness that we say goodbye to our teachers and classmates as we make a place in our memories for our four years at Stanwood High. Arlene Lindsay DENNIS HAMILTON Modesty forbids me telling h ' how really great I am. Camera S y' Track 1-3, Basketball 2-3: High School Play 4, Class Treas. 4, Basketball 3. -17-
