Senior Class History MOTTO: Our aim is high, our goal is higher. CLASS COLORS: Green and Ivory. FLOWER: White carnation. As we, the Class of '44, reminisce over the four years of high school we have spent together, we realize that they have passed too quickly. As green freshies we numbered forty-one and we looked with awe at the experienced upper class men, but after the initiation we became accustomed to the ways of the school and participated in many of the activities. In our Sophomore year, we eagerly anticipated the initiation of the Freshmen. This party was unique in that it was the first to feature an orchestra. Many again were taking part in the extra-curricular activities, such as basketball, clubs, band, and chorus. Our Junior year was one of great activity. We presented a successful play, June Mad, on May 12, 1943. The prom climaxed the year with the theme, Hit the Road to Dreamland. Calvin Flaig, our prom king, chose a sophomore girl, Bettie Hetland, as his queen. Our Senior year was jam-packed with important events. The first was our class play, Early to Bed—Early to Rise, presented December 14, 1943. Here our class again proved its talent for dramatics. The musical students were, active in band and chorus. The seniors in the band were—clarinets: Carol Barclay, Eileen Betthauser, Norman Rowe, Jerome Klos, June Johnson, and Dawn Wilcox; flute and piccolo: Eloise Knudson; saxophones: Calvin Flaig and Herbert Rhodes; bass drum: Beverlie Justin; drum majorettes: Lucille Fuller, Mary Hougen, and Colleen Flaig. Senior members of the chorus were Mary Hougen, Dawn Wilcox, Carol Barclay, Eileen Betthauser, Beverly Niedfeldt, and Marion Wehrenberg. Everett Olson and Norman Rowe starred on the basketball team. The Senior Class is also represented in various clubs in school, such as F.F.A., F.H.A., and G.A.A., and the like. Class Officers President ..... Vice President Secretary ..... Treasurer .....
