Of the six members in the graduating class of 1950, there were two, Devona Zarecky and Donna Jacobsen, who began their school career ln Verdi. Ivan Gilbert Joined the class in the second grade, LaVonne Johnson in the sixth grade and Perry Vander Plaats in the eighth grade. We started making our high school history in the fall of 1946 when thirteen freshman were enrolled in VHS. Ivan Gilbert, Donna Jacobsen, Richard Johnson, Rhoda Knutson, Donald Otkln, Donald Henningsen, Devona Zarecky, Perry Vander- Plaate, Louis Vande Voorde, LeRoy Whittrock, Laura Olson, Joyce Nielsen, and LaVonne Johnson were members of our class with Mrs. Soderlind acting as advisor. After being initiated by the seniors we were accepted as members of VHS. We entertained the high school to a skating party at Lake Benton. During the year we were sorry to see LeRoy Whlttrock and Donald Otkin leave our class. When we resumed our places in the assembly in 1947 we found that we had lost one member, Laura Olson. Later during the year, Rhoda Knutson,also left our midst. Mrs. Soderlind was our advisor again. Our class party was given December 14 vhen we went to a show in Pipestone. Everyone came back for our busy Junior year. We also welcomed one new member, Tony DeZeeuw. For our class party we went to the show, N30 Dear To My Heartn in Pipestone, After many weeks of practice we presented a comedy, HAnyth1ng Might Happenu on December 10 with a repeat preformance on December 14. Our class rings arrived December lOth. The highlight of our Junior year was the Jr.--Sr. ban quet. Our theme, HCandle11ght Reun1on,N was carried out in rose and white During the latter part of the year Donald Henningsen left our class. With our school days rapidly coming to an end we again returned to Verdi High to reach the goal we have worked for during our 12 years in school. Our class was reduced to six members, with one new boy, Lorin Van't Hull. We car- ried on the custom of initiating the freshmen doing many foolish things. We en tertalned the high school to a supper and later the show, NCalam1ty Jane,W in Plpestone. Our class advisor again directed our play, NBabies Night Out.N It was presented on April 14. The long awaited skip day proved to be worth waiting for. We attended the Ice Follies in Minneapolis and also visited many places of interest in the cities. We stayed at the Anthony Hotel from April 28 to April 50th. To close the history for the class of '50 we attended Class Night, May 50th, Baccalaureate, May 28th, and Graduation, June lst. Our motto is NEver Climbing to Success,N our class flower, whlte rose, and our class colors are green and white. On June 2nd, we came to school for the last time as seniors of VHS. n Q .
