As it con- tains as nearly as possible all of the important activities and affairs of the senior class it is taking the place of the customary class history. September 1931. I couldn’t eat much breakfast this morning cause I started to high school today. About 20 minutes after eight I mustard up enough courage to open the large front door for the first but not the last time. I followed all the rest what looked like high school pupils to what I learned was the assembly, and her? the freshmen, there were 39 of us, were seated on the south side ot the big rocm. A bed rang, and Miss Bonner motioned for us to be quiet. We had a few speeches end after telling us what to do and where to go we waited for another bell to ring and then we went to our first class. I am going to study hard and try to be a valiterian «anyway it sounds like that which I wasn’t in grade school. Today we had a class meeting. I was somewhat disappointed cause I’m not president, but maybe its cause they don’t know me so well. Elmer Olson is to be president, and I know him and know he will be good. Frank Bryan was elected to take his place if he becomes sick. Donald Kuehntopp is to keep the records, and Mr. Grays, coach, is to be our adviser. Oh I hated today, cause we had those dreadful stunts to perform for initiation and everybody laughed at us too, but I guess they had a good time. I’m qertainly enjoying band practices. Those of my class who are in it are Ruth Bentley, Charles Lamp, Eleanore Luehmann, Elmer Olson, Norbert Sullivan, and Homer Wooldridge. This page is sponsored by G. W. ELLIS — E. F.

2 I s rv o THE TIMES OF ‘35 • j Eleanore Luehmann, Ruth Bentley, and Dorothy Everts joined the Girl Re- serves. We had the grandest play tonight. I laughed, and laughed, and almost cried. It was Making Daddy Behave.” Vernon Ballard and Elmer Olson were both in it. i m feeling rather tired today, and I guess it is cause I danced too much last nigni at the All High School party that the Seniors gave tor us all. Eio nore i ueh- mann, Margaret Kelly, Charles Lamp, Norbert Sullivan, and Ruth Bentley all played in the orchestra. I saw Richard Runkle this morning and he looked so blue. He said that the Sophomore boys won the class basketball tournament, but then I told him that we shouldn't feel that way, cause the Freshmen girls beat the Seniors. We are just all upset today. Isabelle Shoden announced that she was leaving us to go to school in Rochester. It it had been colder tonight we surely would have frozen stiff on our sleigh-ride. I ve been in bed for almost an hour and I’m still cold. I Jiked the lunch ever so much. ....... Today declams began but I’m not geing out this year, cause I get rather shaky in the knees. Maxine Crowley, Eleanore Luehmann, Ruth Bentley. Dorothy Everts, Margaret Kelly, Edward Kuisle, and Helen Priebe are all trying out though. The Glee Clubs gave an Operetta tonight—“Tulip Time.” When I saw Mary Dixon, Eleanore Luehmann, Margaret Kelly, Rita Towey, Helen Priebe, Marion Reese, Marion Sackett, Irene Struve, Dorothy Everts, Ruth Bentley, Vernon Ballard, Elmer Olson, Homer Wooldridge, and Charles Lamp all dressed like Dutch girls and boys, and having a grand time singing, I wished my tonsils were out so I could sing too. We had the best picnic across the dam. After walking over there we were plenty hungry. I wished today that I had tried for a place on the football team along with Hcmer Wooldridge and Vernon Ballard cause the boys that make the team get the best looking felt letters. I wore my new shirt and tie today for the first time, because I’m a Sophomore now and I just must lock after my appearance a little more. The second day after school started, Mr. Jorgensen called all of those who wanted to join the glee club into his room. Those whom he thought had the best voices and could make the glee club more forceful were selected. Just heard today that the following new members joined from our class: Mary Kelly, Kenneth Schield, and Carmen Struve. Today we elected officers again. We elected Mary Kelly as President. We fellows all decided that since the boys held the ruling hand last year, we’d really ought to give it to the girls this year. Robert Lane was chosen vice president and Elmer Olson, secretary-treasurer. As adviser, we elected Miss Koch. In our class today I noticed there were a few new ones. I asked where they came from and their names. They're Kenneth Schield from Spring Valley, James Blcifuss and Raymond Christofferson from Racine. Some of the boys and I were counting today those who had left the Sophomore class. There were eight boys, who we decided left in view of bigger and better things. They are Frank Bryan, Lowell House, Donald Kuehntopp, Robert Lane, Elmer Peterson, Raymond Rhoten, and Floyd Nichols. Our band is getting bigger every year. Here are the ones from our class that joined it: Vernon Ballard and Rita Towey. Carmen Struve and Irene Struve were the new members from cur class that joined the Girl Reserves today. Eleanore Luehmann was elected vice president; Ruth Bentley, treasurer; and Dorothy Everts, secretary. Miss Koch and Miss Bonner are to be advisers. I noticed Vernon Ballard, Homer Wooldridge, and Richard Runkle coming out of the drug store tenight carrying a gallon bottle of liniment, and found out the foot- ball season had begun. Maybe I’m rather afraid like but I don’t like the thought of being treated as they do the boys who go out for football. We were proud today to have one of the girls in the Sophomore class elected cheer leader, our class president, Mary Kelly. We have just returned from the best weiner roast. It was such a warm September day just the kind for a weiner roast. We all went down to Fugel's Mill. Mr. Jorgensen organized an orchestra today. Our school i3 certainly growing dignified. Those who joined were Mary Dixon, Ruth Bentley, Eleanore Luehmann, Norbert Sullivan, Charles Lamp, and Margaret Kelly. We have something new in our school, an International Friendship Club. In this club you find friends anywhere you want to in the world and write to them. Miss This page is sponsored by JOHN L. BRIN, Attorney-at-Law
