30 C L A S S H I S T O R Y In the year of 1941, twenty-five bewildered Freshies trudged up the steps of Unity High to take their seats in the Freshman row. Five of these Freshies became frightened and soon left us: they were Clifford Rineheart, Orville Domer, Theresa Shrieber, Milton Dommer, and Duane Landwher. After enduring an initiation party given by the Sophmores, we became full fledbed members of the High School. Although we furnished much amusement to the upper classmen, we.had a high scholastic standing and a great interest in outside activities. Our Class officers were: Orville Van Sleet, President: Joyce Bauer, Vice President: and Delores Mews, Secretary and Treasure. In September, 1942, we entered U. H. S. as Sophmores. Eva Jean Lang failed to return, but with the addition of Donald Hederer from Marshfield and Robert Evert from Spencer we had a class of twenty-one members. We enjoyed giving the Wgreen Freshiesn their initi- ation. Again we contributed members to band, chorus, basket-ball and forensics. After the first semester Joyce Bauer left us. Our class officers were: Robert Ewert, President: Orville Van Sleet, Vice President: and Shirley Larson Secretary and Treasurer. As Juniors,1n 1943, we were joined by Eva Jean Lang from Colby. Later Beverly Colby, Shirley Larson, Eleanore Greening, Alvina Bauer, and Donald Hederer left us. Delores Mews became a member of the Senior Class of '44. we elected the following Class officers: President, Wayne Salter: Vice President, Edward Mews: Secretary and Treasure, Mable Schultz. In April we gave our Class play entitled nAn American is Bornu under the direction of our class adviser Urs. Olson. It proved to be a great success.

32 C L A S S W I L L We the class of 1945, in ten individual and distinct parts, being about to pass out of this sphere of education, in full possession of a crammed mind, well trained memory, and almost superhuman understanding, do make and publish this, our last will and testament, hereby revoking and making void all former wills or promises by us at any time heretofore made, or mayhap, carelessly spoken, one to the other, as the thought- less wish of an idle hour. And first we do direct that our funeral services shall be conducted by our friends and well-wishers, our guardians for so long, only asking, as the last injunction of the dying, that the funeral be carried on with all the dignity and pomp that our worth, our merit, our attainments, and our positions as Seniors of 'grave and reverend mien,' must certainly have deserved. As to such estate as it has pleased the Fates and our own strong hands and brains to win for us, we do dispose of the same as follows: We give and bequeath to the dear faculty, who have been our instructors in all the wisdom of the ages, a sweet and unbroken succession of restful nights and peaceful dreams. No longer need they lie awake through the long watches of the night to worry over the uncertainty of whether this one is doing her night work, or that one will have his mathematics in the morning class, or the other one will remember every iron-clad rule of compositional techinque in the preparation of her essay. It has been a hard strain on them, for Seniors are said to be at all times and under all conditions difficult to manage. But they have all done their duty, and verily, now they shall have their well- earned reward. To the class of 1946, we bequeath our humor, intelligence, and seats in the assembly. To the sophmores we leave any stub of pencil, scraps of paper, wade of gum, and any additional knowledge we have failed to obtain from our drivers educational course, here by hoping they will use it to the best of there ability.
