The years 1927 and 28 brought Into the v orld the tv elve boys and girls who were destined to become the Cultured Class of 46 . While we were still shiftless youngsters the Airport Inn and the Alfalfa Mill were built and the Armory burned• In the fall of 1934 the majority of this class began our education when we entered school buildings in many parts of the state. Evelyn Kingston and Donald Lamb were the only members of this class of first graders to spend 12 years at Valier schools. Among our present members who Joined during grade school are: Mary Ann Bournans, Peggy Bowman, Corrine Eeyen, and Gladys Lamna. Our number in the sixth grade was increased by bringing a school bus from the Francis Heights area. The next three years brought three more busses to Valier from the Abbot Lake, Dupuyer, and Wingina. school communities. Despite the declaration of war in our last year of grade school, we were fortunate enough to continue through high school without losing one member to the armed forces. At last the day we were to be freshmen came, but the sophomores blackened the first two weeks of that happy year by initiating us in typical Valier fashion. V.e were made to dress In grass skirts and perform at the party. Seven of our freshmen came from schools other than the Valier grade school. These were Bud Campbell, Betty Dane, Bob and Aileen Graham, Lois Russell, and Phil Y horlow. This year a blizzard hit Valier so hard the busses were unable to take the country students home and those who lived in town put them up overnight. A magazine selling contest for the Curtiss Publishing Company was conducted and also e war bond buying contest. V.e were proud to have had Bud Campbell make the first touchdown of the season. Corrine Keyen received the Kelsey Award for improvement • As sophomores we put on one of the most successful initiatin : parties. Dina Oosterv yk and Clarice . olcstad increased our enroliment to 14. Donald Dean and Gladys Lamrr.a received Kelsey awards. Several of this class participated in The Gay Nineties Review directed by Mrs. M. I. Whorlow. Our Junior year was hi;hli:hted by having the most beautifully decorated prom of the last 20 years. The theme was Love Shop and the dancing floor was shaped like a heart with several cu-pids ornamenting the walls. Punch was served from a wishing well. Marie Russel and Betty Dane dropped out this year, making our attendance 12. Charm School; directed by Mrs. E.C. Brown, was the junior-senior ulay. Thi3 i3 the second year Bud Campbell has been on the first string in basketball. The school took part in a war bond drive and a naper drive this year and with the proceeds purchased a sound moving picture projector. We dispaired at serin . the AIrrort Inn torn doY n this sprin '• V.e were lucky to be-;in as seniors in a nation at peace. M. I. Whorlow, who has been superintendent for the last three years, went to Michigan this fall to ,et bis master s de ree, and we have Robert C. Graham capably filling his position. Mr. Graham is our class sponsor. Though Phil Whorlow has left, we have Ruth Matthaes from Columbus to take his place. Valier was champion of the North Division of tl e Ki. hline district in football this yeur. Bud Campbell was captain of the team. A Youth Center was organized in the recently built Civic Center and an ice skating rink was provided by the city to entertain the young people. Another magazine contest was sponsored. In Kansas tests Donald Lamb rated highest in school in spelling and Vocabulary (he has for the past four years). Corrine Heyen has been pianist for the Glee Club throughout this time. The pombined Junior-senior olay this yeur is Best Foot Fory ard under the direction of Mrs.Virginia Dougherty. On May 23 the class ceases to exist, but it lias appreciated and enjoyed the orlvele ?es granted by the community and ho es to prove worthy of them. 5 GLADYS LAMMA-Preaident Vice-Prea. 1; Home Ec. 1,2,3,4, Sec- ,-Trees 4; Pep lub 1,2,3,4, Pres.4; Tumbling 3,4; Paper Staff 2,3,4 r Drill Team 3,4; Sub, lell Leader 2j Charm School 3; Beat Foot Forward 4, Bus Mgr ; Gay Nintiea Revue ’ Olee Club, 2; Youth Committee, Sect Treas.4 Annual Staff, 4; Twirling 4 Glee Club 1,2,3, 4 DONALD DEAN F.
