Oakland Class History Backward, turn backward, O Time--- was it only five years ago we were eighth graders? The teachers told us this would happen but we never believed this feeling of sadness, of nostalgia, would come so soon. However, our history must review briefly the activities of those five years. There were sixteen of us in 1950, and we elected our class officers: President, Sandra Lusk, Vice-President, Frederick Hanrahang Secretary, Ruth Fosterg Treas- urer, Helen Anthony. They have carried on through our high school years. Our Freshman and Sophomore years went swiftly and now it seems we were jet propelled into our Junior year. We were sad for one reason: our number had been reduced to six. This year marked a change because our consolidation was now a reality and the classes in both buildings united for all projects, selection of rings, dances, yearbook, and others. And here we are Seniors. We can't remember the compositions, the theorems, the translations, the testsg we recall only the fun, the teachers, the parties, the proms, the games--and we turn eagerly toward graduation and what lies beyond. - -He len Anthony Susquehanna Class History As we look back through the years to September 1951, we can picture a scared Freshman Class which consisted of forty-three students, Of the forty-three came eight from Lanesboro, and ten from Stevens Point to Susky High which was to them a new and different school. Our class was divided into two sections, A and B. Then in our Sophomore year we were divided again. Some of our classmates moved away and we gained a few new ones. In the 10th grade too, we chose what courses we would take to help us in the future. As Juniors we were at last one happy class joined with Oakland, earning and saving money for our Junior Prom which we had at the end of the year. We put on several dances at Halloween, Christmas, etc. , and paid dues to raise money. We attained our class rings too, which were really beautiful. Then all of a sudden we were Seniors of which we were very proud, especially to have such a swell group of teachers to work with. Our yearbook was a big feature in our Senior year of which took a lot of planning and preparing. And now we are looking forward to graduation which will be coming up in June where our class will be together for the last time. Our four years at Susky High will be a treasured memory by all of us throughout the long years ahead. - -Yvonne Bennett
