Nelson............Ambassador at iMrge At the time this stupendous masterpiece is going to press, next year’s seniors are very cocky but have not shown much life this year. However they do show a little spurt of pep every once in a while. Early this fall they entered Margaret Ann Miller as their candidate for Carnival Queen. Although she was not queen, the class sold the most carnival tickets and thereby received the handsome sum of five “bucks” for their hearty endeavor. After this the Juniors had a relapse and were not brought out of this slump until the Seniors sponsored the Annual subscription sale, which, incidentally, was won by the Juniors. Shortlx after the successful senior popcorn ball sale, the Juniors sponsored one. Besides this the individual members of the class are very active in basketball, baseball, intramurals, band, and chorus. There are seven Junior boys on the basketball squad. This should be of special interest, for they, as seniors, will be the foundation for the first team, and as time will not permit us seniors to play in the new auditorium, we hope there will be a good team to carry on for us. Best of luck “Next Year's Seniors!” (You're going to need it! ) Pagre Eleven

THE SENIOR CLASS HISTORY Motto—Out oj the harbor into deep channels Colors—Emerald Green and While Flower—Sueet Pea Vie, the Seniors suddenly realize that four years have speedily passed—four years with their pleasures and struggles, and we have gained our first goal. Four years ago we started out on a long voyage to gain this goal. And as we look over those four years we realize that our class and its members were responsible for several successful events and have taken part in many extra curricular activities. As Freshmen we organized the first eighth grade day which has since become an established custom and which was greatly praised by the state inspector. We also presented a class play '‘The First Shave,” that was made possible through the Dramatic club. Our Sophomore year was one of less activity. Although this was only our second year, many were taking part in organizations such as band, chorus, clubs, basketball and other sports. In 1939. the class, much diminished, moved on to undertake the load of Juniors. This year was a busy and exciting one. for we were the first class to give our clas's plays at the high school. Vi e presented three one act plays in which many took part. The climax of our Junior year was the Prom with the theme “Moonlight and Roses.” Bob Leicht, who was chosen as the Prom King, and his Queen. Evelyn Vi ege. led the grand march in great style. Nowr in 1940 and 1941 we are Seniors. Three one act plays were also given this year. Our candidate for Carnival Queen was victorious this year and reigned as Queen Jeanne of the Carnival. Each member of the class has worked very hard preparing a vocational thesis. Now that we are Seniors we regret the fact that we must leave, but we are looking for more enjoyable years to come.

These plans were heard by all in school, for on the day of initiation the Freshies had to get down on their knees, bow, and say ‘Allah” to any Sophomore whom they might meet. Some time after the initiation, plans for the Carnival were brought into prominence and the Sophomores chose Mary Wolter to be their candidate for Carnival Queen. This class, being a very enterprising one. has sponsored many successful candy sales throughout the entire year. Besides having many of their class members in the extra curricular activities of the school, the class also has contributed three of the five boys who are in the popular “Crackerjack” orchestra. One member of the class plays on the ‘'first” basketball team. We seniors sincerely hope you will continue to have the vitality and pep which you have shown in the first half of your high school life. Best wishes to an energetic class! Page Twelve 1
