m WARREN HI ECHOES— C SENIOR CLASS HISTORY In the autumn of 1937, we started on an adventure which proved to fill four of our most exciting and profitable years. Those who were on board at the start were: Betty Alderson Robert Andrews Carson Balbae Lorren Bailsman Marjorie Beecher Robert Bourquin Mildred Cook Milton Cook Opie Cook Richard Enright Irving Gilbertson Milton Goilmer Clarence Grindey Billy Grindey Marvin Murray (Stars indicate Raymond Ilalsted Dora Hicks Doris Hicks Harold Homb Delvin Jones Franklin Leverton Marjorie Lincieeam Vivian Lower Shirley Mamtnoser Pauline McKee Marjory Murray Nicholas Newman Nelda Perry Carlyle Rhyner Vail Scott se who dropped out du Paul Simmons Sarah Simmons Marilyn Sineox Keith Slothower O. J. Smith Viola Stewart Leora Thomasson Maxine Thruman Albert Wickler Fern Wills Wvnette Winters Jilane Wolfra m Anna Marie Yolni Mary Jane Zeigle Robert Lee Zink g the first year.) Seeing the size of our class, we realized the opportunity we had to turn out some real accomplishments and proceeded at once in this direction. Beginning with the first six weeks’ period we were well represented on the honor roll. We are proud that fifteen of us have succeeded in maintaining averages of ninety or above throughout the four years. During our Sophomore year Irving Gilbertson left us while Leona and Francis Hinds joined our group for a sunester. We devoted the large part of our third year toward raising money to finance the Junior-Senior Reception. Two well-attended performances of our class play, “Spring Fever,” gave us a good stirt. After selecting a deep-sea theme for decoration we spent many busy (yet joyful) hours constructing a huge whale’s mouth for the orchestra to sit in. making mermaids, an octopus, and hundreds of queer looking fish. But we all felt more than rewarded for our labors when on that night of May 16. the Seniors walked in and expressed extreme satisfaction. However, we soon realized that the reception’s success was due not only to the work of the class, but also to the unstinted help of our advisor, Mrs. Uglow, and to her daughter’s. Meeting again in the fall of 1949, we were well reinforced with students from Apple River and with John Rowe and Elwood Hanson. During our second class meeting, we voiced our desire for a yearbook, and received approval from Miss Groom, our advisor, in spite of the extra work it would cause her. Besides each class member’s helping in this undertaking, nineteen Seniors participated in band, twelve took part in speech arid dramatics (not including Senior Play), and nine received letters in athletics. As these words go to press, we teel sorrowful to see the last few days ot this never-to-be-forgotten journey slip away one by one. Then we suddenly realize that we have only a good start in life—that we have yet to show the world what we are capable of doing. Thus we now resolve that we will endeavor to the utmost to make our future history even more worthy than our past. by 0. J. Smith.
