We just shake hands at meeting
With many that come nigh;
We nod the head in greeting
To many that go by.
But welcome through the gateway
Our few old friends and true;
Then hearts leap up and straightaway
There's upen house for you,-
Old friends,
There's open house for you!

Honor Students I
As the phrasel "Honor Students" is mehtioned in
school the general thought centers on, the scholastic
ratings of" the students of the school. while the
great importance of our Scholastic Honors cannot be l
denied we must also remember and apply great importance
. to the word Honor in its other senses.
We must remember that the fundamental principal of
an upright charabter 13 that virtue which we all know
as "Honor", a virtue that implies loyalty 'and courage,
truthfulness and honesty, Self-reepect, justice and
generosity.
As we enter into our school life we should remembe;
that it is a keen sense of honor that aids us in all our
work and even a greater sense of honor shOuld be applied
in our play.
we shohld attempt to ,train ourselves to do our
duties with faithfulness and promptness. By doing. this
e even the boy or girl who is naturally careless and
undependable can be self-educated into a sense of honor
regarding any work that is undertaken.
, It is not possible for each person to become a
scholastic honor student bht is we live a life of the
virtues listed above it is truly possible for each of
us to become highly regarded "Boner Students."

We, the members of the graduating class of 'h?, look fruitfully forward to the future;
We know not What opportunity holds in store for us; but, whatever it may be, we hope it is '
substantial. Some, we know, will remain as tillers of the soil, while others will go to
the cities-of rekuoun to seek their fortune and fame. Scattered over the United States
will be one of us, employed 'here; or living and working somewhere. And so as I make my
joumey'through the United States in the foregoing year 1960, I'll let you in on what my
classmates are doing and where they may be.
Date: Summer of 1960
As I start 1w journey, I am leaving on the train from the beautiful city of Abbotsford
where we all graduated. The train is packed but suddenly I see a familiar face. Why yes--
Mary Ann M. and she's going to a special hairdressers meeting. I asked her about . Betty
Jean K. and she proudly beams "She's a married woman and yes it's that High School flame
Carl B.' At Minnesota I hears that Donna H. has a well-knovm gossip column in St. Paul
"Hitting the High Spots with Dink." Hy next stop is at North Dakota where Laverne V. is
hard at work in the Harvest fields--and he is now 6' 3" tall--l His pal Art B. is also
there-wondering when he will meet his dream girl; On to Montana is a well-known fellow--
William B. running "Willies Weasel Ranch". Ramona E. is living in the state of Idaho and
is married to a rich politician. While at Washington are Charles L. and Vane G.--Charles
is a. professor of higher Mathematics and Vane is president of the Wingle Dingle Electric
Co. located at Walla Walla. Over to California where I was just in time to see Loretta Z.
taking a screen test for Warner Bros. production "The Typical One." By the way at .Reno,
Nevada Rosella W. has a beautiful office at which she is "counsellor on marital Problems."
And. Rose B. is just on her way to that famed Divorce Court; by the way its her 5th trip
too. Careful Rose. Do you remember Ruby 1...? She is now Mrs. and is living in New
Mexico. When I stopped at Utah I heard that Olive S. was making her residence there. She's
still looking and hoping for that "man of her dreams". Good luck, Olive. At Texas is a
large Cattle Ranch under the ownership of our school mate Margaret H. and her husband. In
the beautiful warmth of the South is a pretty office girl with that Southernyou-all drawl.
Who could it be? None other than Janet F. and she is working for Charles C. the great ,
Executive of Birmingham Steel Corp. At Florida on the sunny beach is Margaret L. on-
her vacation from her duties as 3 Powers Model. I continue m train trip and w next stop.
is in New' York where I get a. new permanent and manicure at Madame Anne's Beauty Salon-
which is operated by Ann P. Continuing on to Ohio Ism told that Miss Edna Loeffler is the
Kindergarten teachersst the Cinncinnati State Graded School. George N. has consumed so
many Wheaties that he is new president of Wheaties Foundation. Allan S. has been associ -
ated with the Boston Red Sox Baseball team as Catcher for the last few years already. Leon
'6. is still going to school, trying to get his Bachelor Degree. Laverne K. is studying
to be a Social Studies Teacher, maybe he's trying to take Mr. Ravy's position at good old
Abby! Proceeding further into Iowa is Calvin S. a. civil Engineer, end he is slightly bald.
Uhet happened to your curls, Cal? I have finally decided to come back to good old
Wisconsin to see how new of our school pals I can find in our home state. Here I---
find Cecelia H. Married to Bank P. and living on a farm near Milwaukee. Art P. is the fam-
our radio announcer on station WAJP of the Wisconsin Network. Good luck Art. Chester B. is
the great FFA farmer with one chicken, one car, is pig and a rooster, Gerry N. has. finally.
decided she's get married and settle down to a quiet peaceful home life. This is a. question
She's beer; debating ever since she was a Seniorll Donald V; is still trying to tune that
Fourth cylinder on hieold-chev, the same one he had in his HI School days. Joyce P. is a
housekeeper for her chaming-husband and child, living near Stratford. U Dells W. has been
married for quite some time to Arno and they are the proud parents of six deer little
children. And now ly journey has been completed and I wish ,each .and every one of you--
all the luck and success in the future, though you may not end up in lifeias you are
prophesied. i

The Freshman class was given their initiation September 20th by
the Sophomore class. The girls were green bows iL their hair and the
boys wound their ribbons around their heads. The girls carried baby
dolls, Wore old dresses ani mismatei shoes an; SCChS. The boys WLTG
old shirts, overalls, mismated shoes and soaks. The; carried toy
guns. All day the; had to bow to the other classes and do any tasks
for them that was asked. In the afternoon everyone had to do some-
thing on the stage. B -rnie Laabs rocked a doll and sang to it. Eo-
wene Schaefer made a go,d looking gertieman, although the suit was a
little large. Some of the kids had to feed each other spaghetti
across the table with blind folds on. Nice gooey mess.
In return, the class gave a dance in honor of the sophomores.
Mr. Hardwich was Master of Ceremonies. Almost chryone got out and
danced and e er body en oyed it.
For the ca nival the class gave three short p1a3s. Billy Joe
Shookman had a nen version of "Little Red Riding Hood."
The freshman queen, Elaine Daenicke won the Homecemint- queen-
contcst. She chose as her escort Wally Miller.
The Freshman class is quite Basketball minded. Rowene Schaefer
is a cheerleader. Jim Steffen is a sub for the "A" team. Bernard
Laabs and Jim are on the "B" team. Charles Hinhe, Alfred Uhlig,
Wally Miller, and Andrew Schmirler are also on the "5" team.
The class is well represented in chorus and a few are in band.

IF
Rudyard Kipling
If you can keep your head when all men about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you;
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
And make allowance for their doubting too;
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
0r being lied about don't deal in lies,
Or being hated don't give way to hating,
And yet don't look too good nor talk too wise,
If you can dream--and not make dreams your master;
If you can think--and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can neet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat these two impostors just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
And stoop and build them up with worn-out tools;
If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breathe a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the W111 which says to them: "Hold on!"
If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
0r walk with kings--nor lose the common touch,
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,
If all men count with you, but none too much;
'If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds' worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And--what is more--you'll be a Man, My son!

It sounds from all things young,

Not only where the rainbow glows,
Nor in the song of woman hearl,
But in the darkest, meanest things
There almay, alaay so ethlng sings.
'T is not in the high stars alone,
Nor in the cup of bydding flowers,
It is not only in the rose,
It is not only in the bird,

Nor in the bow that smiles in showers,
But in the mud and scum of things

The Sophomore's have been very prominent in school activities during
the-past two years. We have been represented in every phase of school
activity, on the basketball, baseballeand the foot ball teams,'and other
music groups. Also in forensics. 4 ' -
Our side show at the Carnival was one of the best with a full house
at, every perfomance. '
We always manage to have four or five members of our class on the
honor roll. Their were a good number on the football team and two on the
basketball squad and five on the baseball squad. In band, chorus and
other m'zsic groups we have a large number. '
As we look in the future we see much hard work and labor ahead. But
through it all we see the start on the road of life paved with a Ilittle
experience from our school life and a vast supply of knowledge from our
education.
Sophomore Class Officers: J. Vetter, President; D. Jakel, treasurer; M. Jakel, Secretary;
Mrs. Vogler. Advisor; C. Schaefer, Vice President.
The Glass 05-'h8 has taken a great interest in musie, athletics
and school activities.
The Juniors have failed to take part in forensics but they have
shown an enthusiastic interest in basketball. They have shown them-
selves victors in the class basket ball tournament.
This is the year of our prom. Each member has shown their
operation and willingness in putting on this prom.
We are all looking forward to our Senior year.

This year has been a very active year for our FFA. Regular meetings are held
every month. Of the thirty students enrolled in Ag., all are FFA members. Our goal
is to practice brotherhood, honor rural opgortunities, and responsibilities, and to
develop those qualities of leadership which a future farmer should possess. To
accomplish this goal our FFA has participated in judging of livestock at Eau Claire
and at OWen. In addition our chapter has helped sponsor a joint banquet with the
Colby and Dorchester chapters. School letters and emblems were given to top ranking
members. Chester Bunkelman received the Star Farmer Award. This award consisted
of a gold wrist watch which was given -by the Northwest Distributing Co. at Colby.
All FFA members have farming projects and many of them are testing milk and keeping
records of their herds.
