()l the twenty-one members of the senior class of '57, only seven of the original freshman group remain at Sunnydale \cademy. But all twenty-one have realized lluir ambitions of becoming seniors, and they are making the most of it. Stalling their year with the most amazing of all coming-outs—riding a real fire engine, they've been buz- zing in and out of activities over since. In a Triangle campaign with classes in competition the seniors quickly gained a lead, and in- creased it till the last sub was turned in. The class president, treasurer, and secretary took the boy's first, and the girl's first and third places respective!)' in individ- ual honors. Quite a rewarding vic- tory it was. too—a banquet being the prize for the winning class. At the fall school picnic, the classes matched their athletic prow- ess.- During all the jumping, run- ning and throwing contests the sen- iors steadih forged ahead lo receive the top laurels of the day, and the beautiful gold trophv thai was pre- sented to I lie winning class. A little later in the year they I rav- eled to Moberl) complete in their beige and brown sweaters to at- tend -i coll '"Jc basketball game-be- ing pi; ived there. Although vcrv sleepy the next day. class senti- ments were. "It sure was fun!" Recently the seniors journeyed to tlu- windy city, Chicago, where tliev were on the go every minute, taking in all the> could. They toured Max- well Street, appeared on the Break- fast Club, and visited the cilv and county courts, besides many other places of interest. Although "we had a swell time"—"Chicago is fun" —"a nice place to visit"—all agree that "it's good to be back at Stinm- dale." The class president. Bill Burkctt, had (lie pleasure of placing first in the national poster contest of the American Temperance Society. The class secretary, Alyce Chapman, took first in tin- Belly Crocker iiomemaking test. No senior article would bo com- plete without mentioning the spon- sor, Dean Britain. lie and his charming wife, popularly known as "Mrs. B" have, in particular, made being seniors fun and both are lov- ed and respected by their "clan." Tin aim and motto o( the seniors are "Earthly Preparation—Hoavenh \ ictory." A cJo.srh k.'.u't t'.b.w. t) are working together, striving maintain that standard, and g; that iioal.

Twelve girls and eleven boys compose the class whose average height is 5 feet 7 inches, and whose ages from fifteen to eighteen years. Something recently pointed out is the natural curlv hair of seven of the eleven fellows. The group comes mostly from North Dakota, but there are some foreigners and some out-of-staters in the group. The foreigners come from Canada and Australia. Mon- tana, California, Nebraska, and South Dakota are also represented. Shortly before going on the sen- ior trip to Maplewood Academy and the Twin Cities, class jackets in the class colors, charcoal and white were received. From January 27 to January 30 was spent on this trip. While in Minneapolis and St. Paul the seniors toured different manufacturing plants, went sight- seeing and did some shopping.

Rut through the four years members were lost and gained and this graduation twenty faithful seniors will march forward to receive their diplomas. On October 31, 1956, the class of "57" had their recognition day and coronation was the theme fol- lowed. It was a very colorful affair with the crowning of the officers: Jerry Schnell as president, Marilyn Clark the vice-president, Brenda Kramer the secretary, Dorothy Bar- ley who is treasurer, Ernie Zenon- iani the pastor and Bobby Potter the scrgeant-at-arms. It was hard to find a song that really expressed how the seniors felt inside but the song chosen seems to portray fully the many things that have happened to them in the four years at Enterprise. The title—ah yes—Moments to Remem- ber. The skip day to Kansas City. Mow the bus broke down and how cold and hungry they were. And the Christmas party where the class gave the sponsors Mr. and Mrs. William II. Murphy an electric blanket in appreciation of their work and kindness. Yes, now they can look back on these and many many more events as their Moments to Remember. And then there are the exciting things ahead. Amateur Hour spon- sored by the seniors, the senior trip to Lincoln, then the junior and senior picnic. The class has always been small but somehow there has always been a lot of fun in the as- sociation together which someday will be things to be remembered. Plans for the future are still un- decided for most of the class. Some will, attend college and some will become home-makers. But what- ever lies ahead the training at En- terprise and the knowledge that God needs workers the world over will be prime factors in their lives. ower EDITOR -IN-CHIEF ASSOCIATE EDITOR ..

The fol- lowing were chosen: Don Country- man, president; Barbara Fox, vice- president; Rose Chancy, secretary; Judy Nelson, treasurer; Garwin Mc- Neilus, sergeant-at-arms and Le- Land Olson, pastor.

Class pastor, LeLand Olson, united Barbara Fox and Don Countryman in class officership as president and vice-president of the senior class. The attendants to the bride and groom were the other officers. Ev- eryone was anticipating the time to come when he would throw back her veil and instead he shook her hand!! Sharon Huso sang "I Love You Truly" and "Oh, Promse Me." The seniors voted to purchase some very attractive class pins which came just in time for the for- mal presentation, February 20.

Then, deciding to wear their "Sunday best," several of the girls found that even these were missing. Even the music was gone! But despite all the troubles "it surely was a lot of fun" was a popular senior comment. After marching in, Elder Bogle, the sec- retary-treasurer of the Iowa Con- ference, gave a very interesting and inspiring address. Special music was an instrumental trio by Mar- tha Hosek, Dixie Millburn, and Barbara Fox. The jackets, which the seniors have decided to purchase, very at- tractively display the class colors, lavender and black.
