--THEIR CASE HISTORY-- It was September, and sixteen frightened Freshmen paused before the S. H. S. door. Oh yes, we were Freshmen, shy and timid but very proud. Slowly one of the "dare devils" from the class opened the high school door and we immediately found seats next to each other. There were Marilyn Griffendorf, Ruth Rothermel, sitting by her sister Helen, Grover Mielke, Arthur Raab, Raymond Engler, Marie Davis, Warren Schultz, Emma Fausak, Chester Mischke, Elaine Fuzak, Jordon Jung, Stella Albright, Margaret Lockwitz, Gordon Ott, Julia Zelko, and Joe Bodjack. We set up our organization and chose Marie Davis, President; Grover Mielke, Vice President; and Marilyn Griffendorf, Secretary and Treasurer. We received and re- turned a party by the Sophomore class and closed the year with a picnic at Indian Lake. The following year we did not pause at the door, because our real task as Freshmen was completed A change in the lineup left us without Marilyn Griffendorf and Warren Schultz. However, Gerald Haas joined us and that left us a total of fifteen class members. Our officers were Joe Bodjack, President; Jordon Jung, Vice Presi- dent; Marie Davis, Secretary; and Grover Mielke, Treasurer. In our Junior year we lost one member, Gordon Ott, but Bino Da Dan came back to Alma Mater, and Norma Siewert and Adeline Fries! were promoted to the Senior class. We presented our play "Dotty and Daffy." We also ordered class rings. Seniors, at last! When we called roll, we found that Chester Mischke had left us, but we had several new members: Lizabeth Gorske, Mary Jane Pooch, and Margaret Holland. We immediately started plans for raising money for our trip to Washington, D. C. page eight

---THEIR WILL--- We, the graduating class of 1941, being of unsound mind, as usual, do hereby will and bequeath the following in the year of our Lord, nineteen hundred and forty-one: First, we leave the faculty the peace and calm that are always prevalent after a storm has passed. Second, we leave the Junior class our sympathy and prayers as they approach seniorhood, for we know they will need them. Third, we leave to the combined classes of Sophomores and Freshmen the consoling thought that that was the way we got our start. Fourth, to the Alma Mater we leave the sincere hope that all future classes will be as brilliant and as gloriously undignified as we have been. Individually, we bequeath our most brilliant traits of characters as follows: Bino Da Dan's whiskers to Maxwell Elsasser. Arthur Raab's ability to play basketball to John Vergot. Gerald Hass' height to Donald Rothermel. Mary Jane Pooch's athletic ability to Virginia DeFord. Margaret Holland's southern accent to Helmut Pioske. Ruth Rothermel's giggles to Doris Kettlehut.
