M ■ lELETEAf '. SENIORS CLASS OF 1917 First Semester Otto Egcebrecht Bess Buckley Esther Erlaxdsox Edwix Jewell ClIRISTlAX ETHUX Mr. W. H. Huxt OFFICERS President Vice President Secretary Treasurer Scrgeant-at-Arms Advisor Second Semester Ralph Hahsox Ebba Ahlstrom Pearl Trepaxier Narcisse Parxell Irvin Dickey Mr. W. H. Huxt In the year of 1912 began the history of the class of 1917. Some of the members entered from the model school of our Normal, and others entered from the public school of River Falls. In addition to this, many entered from different parts of Wisconsin. With the excellent leadership of our advisor, Mr. Wickland, the class grew and prospered by leaps and bounds. At the beginning of the school year of 1916 a great number of Students entered from different high schools of Wisconsin and other states. Great talent was found among these students, wftieh made our class one of the best in the history of the school. Mr. Wickland was called to other fields of work during the summer so that at the beginning of the 1917 school year our class was without an advisor. We were fortunate in getting Mr. Hunt to fill this vacancy. During this year he has ever been on the lookout for the welfare and progress of our class. Now as we leave our Alma Mater we leave it to the Juniors of the present year, and underclassmen to uphold the honor and standards of our school. We wish to see them perpetuate the progress and school spirit which is so evident here. We thank the teachers and instructors who have so faithfully and conscientiously guided us through our years of school life at this school. Here’s to our beloved President, who has made the progress of this school possible by having at all times the interest of the student at heart. When we are gone remember wc will at all times boost for our Alma Mater. In later years more will be heard from the Class of 1917. A Page 18
