SENIOR HISTORY 2[T was four years ago last September that we, as Freshmen, entered Wayzata Consolidated High School. We were forty-five enthusiastic knowledge-seeking Freshmen. There is a saying, “Quality not Quantity. We had Quality. Our Freshman year was filled with joys and hardships—hardships because wc were so timid and green. At the beginning of that year, we elected our class officers as follows: Gifford Kysor. President; Florence Paterson, Vice President; and Priscilla Milbert. Secretary and Treasurer. By the closing of the school year, wc were as brave as the upper classmen. On February 9, of that year, our school building burned. From then until June, we continued our work in the Congregational Church. Many hardships and inconveniences had to be overlooked there, yet we found real fun in it too. The classrooms were partitioned off with canvas. Hearing two or three classes recite at one time was nothing. It was musical, decidedly so! Such perfect harmony! What fun! Next year wc were transferred to the Town Hall, and our schedule there was a trifle more convenient. We feel very grateful to our teachers, who so earnestly and faithfully toiled with us under those inconveniences. That year our class officers were: Florence Paterson. President; Pearl Kreatz. Vice President; and Francis Filiatreau, Secretary- and Treasurer. We all remember the Commercial Room upon the stage. Its general characteristics were red ink. black ink splashed all over, crude wooden desks for the bookkeeping classes, and the Bookkeeper's friend. Miss Darnell’s Red Hook. Nearing the close of that year, the stage was used for play practice and Operetta practice. Our classes were interrupted almost every day and we were sent downstairs to study. But in spite of these trials, tribulations and close quarters, we were ready to enter the New High School as Juniors. Here we began making great achievements in athletics. Our boys and girls worked hard to make good teams, and the defeats we had to take wc had to expect because our teams all were new men starting out in the big field of athletics. This year we had many parties with different kinds of amusement. If a person disliked one kind, he could join in another. The big event of the year was the Junior-Senior Prom, and all the hustle and bustle that goes with it. Chickens were killed and the process of dressing them was carried on in the Domestic Science Room. Everybody worked faithfully and without much urging. That year we gave the play. “Safety First. in which our actors and actresses had u chance to prepare themselves for the same job this year, only much more difficult, of course. This year we entrusted our class business to: Clifford Hehel. President; Robert Spencer. Vice President; and Marie Ekstrom. Secretary and Treasurer. And now we are Seniors—a busy year for us. too. There are lessons, Commencement, pictures, and “Annual to think of and to plan. This year our officers are: Viola Talbert, President; Roland Smith. Vice President; Florence Paterson. Secretary; and Robert Spencer, Treasurer. Of course, we have had parties and outdoor sports, but the “Annual” is what requires hard, well thought-out work. We have tried to do our work and to fulfill our expectations of great achievements as well as in other activities. The time for departure from W-H-S is almost here. Before we leave, we wish to acknowledge the kindness and generosity of our parents, who have expended so much time and money in giving us such excellent education facilities. We wish to thank the faculty for all the aid that they have given us—and so at last 1 write the word— “Finis BRIGHT SAYINGS OF SENIORS Viola T.: “I don’t know what this blamed sentence means. Mr. Selke: Clifford, tell about the Missouri Compromise. Clifford: Half of Missouri was free, and the other half slave. I suppose.
