Engebretsen Schwahn Halvorson Skinner THE GRADUATES 1935 President ........................Wilfred Engebretsen Vice-President....................Richard Schwahn Secretary ........................Orville Halvorson Treasurer ..................................................Morris Skinner In September four years ago the Ninteen Thirty Five graduating class matriculated in Central State Teachers College. Beset by economic and social chaos from the inception of the class until its graduation the path of life in college has not been easy for these young men and women. Only the more courageous members of their high school classes dared undertake the hazardous and uncertain venture involved in earning a col-| lege diploma. However, the serious attitude with which the senior class attacked its problem shows brightly in its record. On the gridiron three conference championships in four years mark the fighting spirit of the class. In basketball two championships in four years were achieved. In track, baseball, and the entire sport program. courage and fitness produced results. Despite the paucity of money in a money economy, this perturbing obstacle did not inhibit social life at college. No class in the history of the school has produced a finer Junior prom. Gaiety, fun, and good sportsmanship were integral elements of the Nineteen Thirty-Four prom. Scholarship imprints a lasting impress upon its devotees, but not infrequently its benefits are overlooked in the excitement of extra-curricular college life. No such charge can be laid to the Senior class. On the contrary its casualties have been few, and its record clean. Scholastically, the present Senior class rates with the best ever produced at C. S. T. C. Many of its members anticipate successful work in the future in teaching and in the graduate schools.
