Senior Class History
The Senior class of nineteen
hundred and thirty-nine entered high school with an enrollment of
twenty-six members. During the year we lost Donne John and Leo Ford; and
Billy O'Rourke moved to Magnolia. Our class sponsor was Bernard Bolton.
The biggest event of this year was our initiation which all of us will
always remember.
In our Sophomore year we had only one new member,
Sylvester Dungan, and at the end of the year lost Ruth and Delores Wiltse.
Our class sponsor for this year was Miss Mildred Barrett.
During our Junior year we lost two more members, Lester
Peterson, who discontinued school, and Rolland Watts, who moved to
Mondamin. Two outstanding events of the year were our class play "Madam
the Boss", and the Junior-Senior Banquet, "The Cruise of the Memory Gang."
The class enjoyed two theatre parties during the year. Miss Gretchen Junge
aided us as class sponsor.
We began the Senior year by adding two new members,
Margie Lennert and Helen Croghan. We chose the following class officers:
Shirley Wells, President; Hugh Zahner, Vice President; Helen McManimie,
Secretary; and Marguerite Nelson, Treasurer. The annual class picnic was
'held at the Blair bridge during the first few weeks of school. We all
enjoyed a theatre party afterwards. At this time we decided to go to
Lincoln, Nebraska for our Senior Day, the date being set for April 18th.
Our valedictorian is Hugh Zahner and salutatorian is Deane Tate. Our class
play "WHERE'S GRANDMA" will be given April 27th and 28th. The
Junior-Senior Banquet will be April 13th. The class has left one of its
marks on the gymnasium wall in the form of a pennant.
Anticipating our commencement exercises, May 11th, we
chose as our class flower the white carnation, our colors were green and
white, and our motto, "We'll Find a Path or Make One."
