Page4 CHIPPEWAN 1940 Senior Class History Let us go back to that distant day in September, 1936. Let us pause for a moment and take an inven- tory of the pupils who entered high school as freshmen at that time. Who are they? Why, it's the Senior Class of 1940 of course. As the class was organized, we found the following students enrolled: Sidney As- lagson, Kermit Barsness, David Belgum, Arthur Berg, Arden Brenden, Adeline Brevig, Laura Brevig, Or- ville Dahlseng, LeRoy Ekstrom, Arthur Erickson, Eu- nice Erickson, Betty Evanson, Avis Evjen, Clarice Foss, Naomi Foss, Howard Hagen, Adeline Hanson, Verna Hanson, Dellora Hidem, Ernest Hoium, Wallace Hoium, Elaine Kjera, Arlen Kleven, Vernon Larson, Gerhard Lingen, Helen Lorvig, Margaret Lund, James Moen, Doris Myking, Walter Nelson, LeRoy Olson, Mildred Olson, Earl Person, Paul Samuelson, Fern Sanvik, Mar- garet Sanvik, Olivia Skaaden, Ardis Skoglund, Lilian Stadsvold, Howard Teigen, and Harriette Thorstad. Our numbers were depleted, however, as Kermit Bars- ness, Adeline Brevig, Laura Brevig, Arthur Erickson, Avis Evjen, and Ernest Hoium dropped out during the year. At our first class meeting, we elected the follow- ing officers: president, Vernon Larsong vice president, Margaret Sanvikg secretary, Dellora Hidemg treasurer, Ardis Skoglund. For our class advisor we chose Miss Lilian Charlesworth. Our first social event was a party given in our hon- or by the Sophomores. Not to be outdone and to show our appreciation we tendered them one in return. Af- ter nine months of hard work we welcomed a vacation. All too quickly the three months sped by, and we were confronted with the matter of taking up our studies again-this time, however, as Sophomores. Taking stock of ourselves, we found that Margaret Lund had failed to return but that Gordon Wiltse, El- our ranks. up as did dora Berg, and Irene Peterson had joined Both these girls left before the year was David Belgum. In organizing our class we elected the following officers: president, Doris Mykingg vice presi- dent, Lilian Stadsvoldg secretary, Margaret Sanvik, treasurer, Harriette Thorstad. Mr. F. V. Nygaard was chosen class advisor. Realizing that we were setting an example to the on-coming Freshmen, we applied ourselves studiously and finished a very profitable school year. We also gave the Freshmen a party which they returned. In an unbelievably short time we were launched upon our Junior year. Even though Verna Hanson did not return, the entrance of Agnes Benson, Arthur Eby, and Arthur Hanson swelled our class. However, LeRoy Olson left us during the year. The business of elect- ing officers was soon taken care of with the following results: president, Arden Brendeng vice president, Del- lora Hidem, secretary, Margaret Sanvik, treasurer, Vernon Larson, class advisor, Miss Mae Schendel. This proved to be a very busy year for us because on Nov- ember 18, we presented our class play, There Goes Henry under the able leadership of Mr. J. P. Lunstad. Another event which claimed our attention was the Junior-Senior banquet which we gave in April. The banquet had as its theme the cold land of the Eskimos. We are Seniors! That was the thought that was up- permost in our minds as we started on the last lap of our high school career. Arthur Eby did not return but his absence was offset when Ralph Skinner and Ker- mit Hansen joined our class. There were now thirty- six of us left to carry on. This year Harriette Thor- stad was elected president, Lilian Stadsvold, vice presi- dent, Ardis Skoglund, secretaryg and Adeline Hanson, treasurer. By a unanimous vote Supt. W. A. Peterson was elected class advisor. An event of interest to us was the crowning of our classmate, Naomi Foss, as Carnival Queen for the year 1939-1940. On April 19 we were pleasantly entertained by the Juniors at the Junior-Senior banquet. Our class play, Mountain Mumps under Mr. Lunstad's guidance, was given on Friday, May 24. As we wind up our affairs in Starbuck High School and set forth into the world, may we never forget our motto, Not on the heights, but climbing. Class Will Having completed our brief span of existence as students of S. H. S. and being about to enter into con- ditions that are far different from those we have found in school life, we wish to bequeath to those who re- main certain possessions, some cumbersome, others rather dear. We hope that by specifying the recipients, we may avoid any fighting or disputing among those who will no doubt eagerly await the apportionment of our estate. To the class of '41 we leave our leadership in school activities and seats in the assembly. To the sophomores we give the responsibility of introducing the frosh into the mysteries of proper student conduct To all we leave our worn-out books, erasers, pencils, papers, etc. Arlen Kleven wills half of his height to John Thomp- son. Helen Lorvig wills her calmness and efficiency to Sylvia Ramstad so that she may become a dignified senior. To Irwin Knutson, Naomi Foss wills her spontan- eous smile. Dellora Hidem bequeaths her ability to laugh at her own corny jokes to James Erickson. Earl Person leaves his Irish wit to Betty Overson. Walter Nelson wills his philosophy of life to Norris Evjen. Thomas Hagert will receive Eunice Erickson's Eng- lish notebook on the condition that he will put it in good use. Olivia Skaaden relinquishes a portion of the volume of her voice to anyone whose vocal chords are over- developed. Kermit Hansen tearfully wills his great preparation for exams to Orlette Lageson.
