Senior Class History Wliee, we made it!—a hundred and four of us, all qualify to receive our diplo¬ mas at commencement. In 1910, we “youngsters” began our high school journey, under the leadership of Bob Scheetz. During this freshman year and on through high school we were well represented in clubs, athletics, band, chor¬ us, and speech classes. The Sophomore year offered us a chance for our first “big” dance. We stag¬ ed the Sophomore Prom with flowers, white fences, and spring colors as a background. Vera Roberts headed this year’s class. Then came the eventful Junior year. We, able-bodied classmen, in spite of rain, wind, and snow sold refreshments at the football games. We chose the hilarious comedy “Guess Again” and presented our Junior play. With pastel shades of crepe paper, and ever so many balloons, making up our ceil¬ ing, we got the thrill of putting on our J- IIop. Our Junior leader was Bill Deagen. It was during this year that we sold Trojan stickers to build up our treasury. Selecting and ordering our class rings was another of our Junior privileges. Finally our last year popped up be¬ fore us. At last we were Seniors. Dick Newman was chosen our president for this last year. As we graduate from Sturgis High, we come to the realization that our happy school days are over. However, we seniors feel that as a graduating class, we have achieved our goals. In closing we wish to thank our worthy advisors, Misses Rix and Hagen, Messrs. Wheat, Bowdish, and Borgerding, as well as other members of the faculty, who have helpfully guided and directed us during our high school days. —Lois Walker
