Senior Class Riston] Class Colors—Blue and Gold Class Flower—Yellow Rose Class Motto—“More Beyond” As we, the class of ’46 look back on the four years of high school we have spent together, we realize that they have passed too quickly. It seems like only yesterday that we entered as “green freshies”; there were twenty-eight of us then. During our Freshman year, three of us were fortunate enough to take part in the all-school one-act plays directed by practice teachers from the La Crosse Teachers College. By the time we became Sophomores we had overcome some of our shyness and were taking part in the extra-curricular activities such as basketball, clubs, band and chorus. During our Junior year we were even more active in the various organizations. We presented a successful play, “Sixteen in August”, with everyone doing his best. The climax of the year was the annual promonade, with the theme, “Deep Sea.” Russell McClintock, the prom king, chose as his queen, Dolores Storandt. At this time our busy class lost four of its members, Donald Groth, Lester Graff, Lawrence Sender and Wilfred Van-derploeg to the armed services. Then we became Seniors! Our Senior year was jam-packed with events. Every member of our class was in some extra-curricular activity. Those in band were: Mary McClintock, Dolores Storandt, Roberta Rowe, Russell Dovenberg, Marjorie Leicht, Joyce Ausman, Donald Diekroeger. Freeman Newburg, Donald Diekroeger and Russell Dovenberg starred on the basketball team. For the past two years Carole McEldowney, Mary McClintock and Verna Ehlo represented the school and the class with their “wicked” cheer-leading ability. The Senior class was also represented in boys’ chorus, girls’ chorus, F. F. A. and F. H. A. When we think of actually leaving our high school days behind, we feel as though we have passed through a happy span of our life which will be hard to duplicate. We hope that this training and experience in extra-curricular activities will enable us to make better use of the opportunities that lie ahead.
