Chippewan fb-fi? --1?-1 - Y Glam am On September 7, 1939, a large group of frightened Freshies congregated in this our present assembly, and were ushered into the mysteries and the intricacies of the new order of things. The forty-eight registration cards bore the follow- ing names: Margaret Aaberg, Walter Amundson, Nor- man Benson, Shirley Berg, Marvin Braaten, Lorraine Brenden, Elvin Feigum, Betty Mae Forde, Lorraine Gaarder, Olive Halvorson, Mavis Hansen, Evangeline Heegard, Lewis Hidem, Nora Hofstad, Phyllis Hoium, Harris Larson, Marvel Larson, Ruth Larson, Violet Larson, Olive Lingen, Evelyn Lorvig, Bernice Miller, Janice Miller, Lillian Mortenson, Sylvia Nelson, Ken- neth Nordgren, Chester Olsen, Claremont Pederson, Arthur Raaum, Ernest Ranum, Harold Ranum, Teddy Ross, Randolph Sanvik, Vernon Simonson, Olive Smed- stad, Dewey Teigen, Gylia Tharaldson, Ellsworth Thompson, Onan Thompson and Ellwood Wollan. The first days were filled with vague rumors of what deadly enemies of the Freshies were the Sopho- mores and upper classmen. Howex er, being of a class brave and bold, we elected the following officers to clown all opposition: President, Teddy Ross, Vice President, Onan Thompson, Secretary, Ellwood Wol- lan, Treasurer, Randolph Sanvik. Mr. Youngquist was chosen our class advisor to guide us through the year. During the course of the year the Sophomores gave a party in our honor. We, in return, entertained them to a roller skating party. Our Freshmen year was a success under Mr. Young- quist's leadership. With a superior smile lighting up our benign coun- terances, we again climbed the steps of Starbuck High and assumed with all dignity our new sovereign pow- ers-that of the lordly Sophomores. Our class mem- bership was depleted, for, although, Leonard Kramer, Karl I-Ialvorson, and Viola Benson joined us, Dewey Teigen, Randolph Sanvik, Phyllis Hoium, Walter Am- Lzncson and Violet Larson did not return. We began the year with a flourish. Hardly a month had passed before we had chosen our class officers: President, Onan Thompson, Vice President, Lewis Hi- dem, Secretary, Ruth Larson, Treasurer, Sylvia Nel- son. Mr. Nygaard was elected class advisor. Oh, we had the ginger, pep, and snap, and wanted to be It and It we were. Then, to add to our prestige, both the boys and girls carried off the honors of interclass basketball championships. We also gave the Fresh- men a party which they returned. Thus ended our Sophomore year and we were now classified as Juniors. It seemed now that we were so near to graduation that we wouldn't have to study conscientiously as before. We tried this and found, by the way our teachers tried to decorate our report cards with red -- . Y I Q45 ink, that possibly, graduation day was pretty far off. Alvin Feigum, 'Leonard Kramer, Marvel Larson and John Quanbeck left us during the year and Floyd Young joined our ranks. The business of electing officers was soon taken care of with the following results: President, Lewis Hi- dem: Vice President, Ellsworth Thompson, Secretary, Teddy Ross, Treasurer, Ellwood Wollan, class advisor, Miss Garberg. This proved to be a very busy year for us because on November 14, we presented our class play, That Crazy Smith Family, under the able lea- dership of Miss Garberg. Another great event of our Junior year was our Junior-Senior banquet given on May 22, 1942. The garden setting and sweet aroma of lilacs made our theme Maytime , a suitable one. Thus ended our Junior year. Do you know or would you like to know how it feels to be a Senior? First of all you get the feeling of pride, exultant pride, in yourself, in your class, in the whole school CJuniors includedj and the world in gen- cial. When you go to take your seat on the west side of the assembly you have the grand and glorious feel- ing of being a Senior. During the course of the year, Marvel Larson, Wayne Shippey and Jackie Lynch left us. This year Norman Benson is our class president, Lorraine Brenden is vice president, Olive Smedstad is secretary and Ralph Brevig is treasurer. At our high school carnival this year we had the distinct honor of having Ellsworth Thompson crowned Carnival King and Olive Smedstad the Carnival Queen. Our class play The Singing Ghost under the able guidance of Miss Strehlo was well received. This Spring we were pleasantly entertained by the Juniors at the Junior-Senior Banquet. Our baccalaureate and commencement exercises were inspiring occasions that will never be forgotten. It is with a feeling of regret that we cast a last fond glance at the familiar scenes about us, but remember- ing that our high school days cannot last forever, we look forward to still greater things in the field of con- quest. Guiding us toward success, is our never-failing motto, Tonight we launch, where shall we anchor? ..1..gi...- STARBUCK HIGH FOREVER! Starbuck High Forever! Hail to the glory of Starbuck High' Arise and cheer, cheer the colors , Scaring o'er us in the sky! On, Maroon and Gold, On to Victory! To you we pledge our faith and our loyalty!
