our lives. Here was an entirely
different plan of government in
which we were given the chance to
pass from one class to another. I
think we took too much advantage
of the privilege offered for soon
teachers were stationed throughout
the halls and Miss Everhart made
many announcements about too
much disturbance being caused be-
tween classes. During these three
years the largest number was added
to our rank. They were, Cecile
Moynihan, Russell Erickson, Marion
Minnette, Evelyn Casey, Isadore
Seaman, Kenneth Mortenson,
James Wruck, Ida Sorenson, Vera
Martin, Gladys Lying, Ellen Eek
lund, Harriet Harrison, Florence
Capkey, Marcella Bromenshenkel,
Edward Arneson, Norbert Frank,
Paul Gritzmacher, James Kenna,
John Mattieson, Marjory Taylor,
and Elsie Henry coming back at
ter an absence of two years. The
first year in the Junior High as
sembly we were looked down upon.
But the last year we were respect
ed. We gained this by defeating
the other classes in Field Day ex-
ercises and by the volume of music
we produced each chorus period in
the assembly. After many nights
of staying after school and many
different kinds of punishment, we
at last managed to climb another
rung on the ladder of education by
being promoted to the Senior High.
At this time or during our Soph-
omore year our already increased
ranks were enlarged still further
by Kenneth Vennewitz, Doris Clase-
man, Gertrude Heidman, Erma
Stowell and Marie Thieschafer. Our
principal being Miss Larson. AS
Sophomores usually do, we receiv-
ed the brunt of all misbehaviors.
The Junior year held the greatest
amount of excitement for all the
years of school. This year we had
the experience of preparing prom
by using the scheme of pirates and
capturing the seniors for one en-
joyable evening. We also won
three places in the defamation
contest. Some of us learned to
write shorthand. In tipping our
contestants went as far as the
state contest. The Junior Banner
fight was a tie between the Jun
Tors and Seniors, no one getting the
better of the other class. Those
who enrolled as Juniors this year,
and helped to carry the burden of
preparing our class play "Cappy
Kicks were: Helen Ober, James
O'Gara, and Virginia Embloom.
Those who entered in the last and
greatest year in the final rung of
the ladder of High School education
were: Earl Clark, and Josephine
Pickett. This year we were forced
to pay out much material wealth
but gained much in the way OF
character, knowledge, and friend
ships in return.
The Senior Glass honor roll for
all the year 1880 has the largest
number in three senior high classes.
There were seven students whose
names appeared on this roll for all
four years: Florence Capkey, val
dictorian; Gladys Lying, salutator-
ian; Earl Clark, Pearl Clark, Ellen
Ecklund, Elsie Henry and Kenneth
Robinson.
Although many have entered and
receded from our list, we still hold
the honor of having the largest
graduating class in the history of
this school. We are forty-six in
number.
We only hope that we will main
tain this high standard, and that
each and every one of us will be
credit to our Alma Mater as we
journey along life's pathway.
