Having completed twelve years of formal education, this, the class of 1941, writes its finis in Mankato High School history.

The classÕs portion of M.H.S. history has followed traditional lines with its parties and picnics, classes and exams, initiations and practical jokes, dates and trips, sports and activities, clubs and dramatics, pep and school spirit. As these students have given part of the years of their lives to M.H.S., so shall they always remain a part of M.H.S.

Out of this group of thirty-three students, fifteen have gone through the twelve years together. Eighteen students became part of the class roll during the twelve years; some in high school, some in grade school.

This final year in high school Ð 1941 Ð holds various meanings. Beginning the year with a class party and presenting the Senior Play "The ClayÕs the Thing," the class climaxed it with a memorable Commencement May 21st.

The second semester included the formal Jr. Ð Sr. Banquet and Prom, all-exhausting Sneak Day, and the inspiring dignity and simplicity of Baccalaureate. The theme of the Banquet and Prom, given by the juniors, was not revealed until the night of the banquet. Nor did the class forget to throw a Sneak Day in true senior style.

Rising from the previous year are memories of "Hobgoblin House," junior play given by the class of Õ41, and the "Dutch Gardens" which formed the background for that yearÕs Junior Prom.

The first two years of high school, forming a foundation for further education, have become vague in the consciousness of the class. Those years featured initiation into classes, into social life, into activities, into being a part of M.H.S.
