1947 VIKING 1947 Senior Class History In the fall of 1943, ten students signed aboard the H Viking for a four year cruise on the sea of education. Dot, captain of the maiden voyage, led the crew through waters both stormy and calm, but failed to save Leslie Mcliung, Margaret Anderson, James Aasness, and Thelma Moe who floundered and sank. At the port of Utopia, the crew dis- embarked for a three months shore leave. Three months later only six-crew-men show- ed up for the second sailing. Jean Ustrud left the crew to sail for lVebster, and Gerald Haugen climbed on deck at Lily. The captain, Phyllis, led them through very calm water and finally, at the end of nine months, took another well-earned shore-leave, this time at Honolulu. When the voyage again resumed, five of the original crewmen were back. Vera Johnson had signed off at Florence during vacation, but Herbert Aasness floated downstream from Bradley to take her place. Dorothy was back to take the place as captain. Wlieii the last vacation before the end of the journey was over, only four crewmen returned to finish the trip. Dorothy Hanson, Mayme Gulbraa, and Arlene Fogel decided to sail another sea, the sea of matrimony. That left Phyllis Urevig, Gerald Haugen, Her- bert Aasness, and Ruby Nelson, who was picked up from a life raft near Cogswell, North Dakota. The senior year was crowded with activities. During April, the crew members as- sisted the Juniors in presenting a play, on May 2, they sailed to Aberdeen for an inside look at college life, on a later date in May, they anchored at the Black Hills for their skip day, May 25th was the date sct for Baccalaureate, and on Commencement night, May 28th, they left the good ship UViking with many a backward glance and tearful eye, each one admitting that this four year journey is filled with many happy memories. CLASS PROPHECY As we sail along the sea of life we carry with us memories of the past. Today we think of the old school days and wonder what the class of 4447 is doing, so we de- cided to go visiting. Cruising along we see the large and Well developed farm of Gerald Haugen. Gerald is out by the mailbox and so we stop and have a talk with him. VVhile talking to him, he informs us that Herbert is teaching school a short distance a.way. As we enter the doorway of the school house we find Herbie teaching his pupils how to blow soap bubbles. Instead of disturbing him, we carry on our journey. Our next stop is the home of Phyllis Urevig, who is very happly with her husband and family. As we visit with her. she tells us that Ruby is a nurse and is ful- filling her ambition. Now with our memory refreshed we say My what ten years will do.'l CLASS WILL We, the four seniors of the class of 1947, being of unsound mind, do hereby declare this to be our last will and testament: l, Jerry Haugen, do bequeath to Harlan my basket making ability for a future championship team and also my job as Clipper editor to Arvid. I, Ruby Nelson, do bequeath my writing ability to Gaylord and Norris in hopes they may someday turn in a class poem. I also wish to leave my punctuality to Edith Moss. 'l, Herbie Aasness, do bequeath my sense of humor Cfor my own jokesj to Marion and all my used. candy wrappers to Beverly. I, Phyllis Urevig wish to leave my study habits to Reuben Cmay it improve the fresh- man classl and my cheerleading position to Dorothy Hogstad.

First class Seaman Ruth Bueide. left the Viking at the next. port and as the ship resumed its journey again, the Captain sighted Seaman Bueide board- ing the U.S.S. Oak Grove at Fargo, N. Dak. This left seven seamen aboard to take up the duties of the ship. The next year brought more results for the 4' Viking. Another recruit, Seaman Roger Nelson from Cogswell, N. Dak., joined the ranks to bring the 'total for the Class of 48N to eight. This group has participated in numerous school activities and when the ship HViking pulls out again in the fall of 19-LT, these ambitious seamen will be on their last mile of the Waters of kiiowledgre, their destination-HPORT SUCCESS. 6
