Senior Class History Four years ago the class of 1926, our class, made its entrance into the old high school building, as Freshmen, one hundred and sixteen strong. At first, green, the true color of all Freshmen, stood out all over us. However, it was not long until our green faded to such an extent that we were able to go about without feeling conspicuous or uncomfortable. Our first need was for class officers. After we had found a room suf- ficiently large to accommodate our vast throng, and teachers suliicient to keep order, we had our first class meeting to elect our first class officers. Our leaders were K. Tuhus, president ; H. Grimsrud, Vice-president; H. Da- vis, secretary-treasurer; and Mr. Krueger, class advisor. i Our activities were many and varied. We won the admiration of the upperclassmen by our splendid playing in interclass basketball. Two of our members were on the baseball team and two on the track squad. As officers our Sophomore year, we had T. Espe, president; S. Min- shall, vice-president; E. Williams, secretary-treasurer; and Miss Taylor, advisor. We had a number of boys on the basket-ball squad, two on the track squad, besides a distinguished record in interclass basketball. E. Ja- cobus, a member of our corn judging team, won the individual state cham- pionship. In the fall of 1924 we entered high school as J uniors, in the new build- ing. It seemed almost as if we were Freshmen again, for no one knew the way around in our new home. Our oHicers this year were T. Espe, presi- dent; L. Larson, Vice-president; H. Davis, secretary; A. Holmstad, treasur- er ; and Miss Enckhausen, adviser. That year, D. Stoleson and B. Aambak represented the J unior type- writing and shorthand classes in the district commercial contest at Tomah. The stock judging team, consisting of C. Anderson, W. Opsahl and E. Ja- cobus, won honors in the state contest. E. Williams, having received sec- ond place in the Extemporaneous Reading contest, went to Sparta for the district contest. We had ten boys on the football squad and eight on the basket ball squad. Our Junior boys and girls both won interclass basket- ball honors. The captain of our boys team was S. Wheelock and of the girls; S. Minshall. Our social activities were many. A vaudeville was presented in the auditorium, and a carnival was given in the gym. The success of these en- tertainments has never been equalled. By far the biggest event of our J un- ior year was the Prom, the first in the new gymnasium. The chairman was S. Wheelock. When we entered our Senior year, we didnlt feel any more important than before. We settled down to work in the beginning of the year, deter- mined to put our best efforts into getting the best results. We elected B. Wintz, president; P. Engler, Vice-president; B. Aamback, secretary; E. Hen- drickson, treasurer; Miss Glartz, class advisor; and Miss Raymond, annual advisor. Our commercial contestants at Tomah were B. Aambak, M. Gutsch, and A. Olson. A number of our classmates were in Forensics. We had many representatives in every department of athletics and we again won in interclass basket-ball, with R. Favor as captain. We intend to leave With flying colors. As we leave, we wish all the underclassmen, the success and happiness Which has been ours during our high school career. a22a
