SENIOR CLASS HISTORY In the fall roundup of September, 1946, ll head of wild, roly - poly, five and six year olds were corraled fromthe range into Archer Consolidated School. These critters carried the following brands! Stanley Van Den Berg, Beatrice Ballou,David Ballou, Roberta Blok, Richard Dykstra, Robert Hoekaan Katherine Harkin, Mary Kuiper, Bradley Pietins, Edwin Wolthuizen, and Nancy Wolf. Miss Juanita Begg had the job of keeping us corraled. By the time the next year rolled around, we found we had lost Stanley Van Den Berg, but we had gained Janice Den Beste, Phyllis Bruggom, Stanley Lemkuil, Marilyn Rolfes. Miss Ver Hoef, the teacher, tallied the group to be 11+ head. In 197-+8 we found ourselves in second grade with Miss Thompson as the teacher. After gaining Arvin Verburg and losing Nancy Wolf and Robert Hoekman, we totaled 13, an unlucky number. In third grade Miss Thompson was still Trail Boss. After the loss of Janice Den Beste we totaled 12 in all. when 1950 came along we were in fourth grade with Miss Payson as the teacher. with the loss of Richard Dykstra and the gain of Donna Bogaard we still totaled 12. Fifth grade found us with Miss Brink and we still totaled 12 after losing Katherine Harkin and gaining Voly Louderbeck. By now we had reached Junior High. Since we had then entered into departmentalized instruction it woid belnrd to record the various teachers. In sixth grade we dropped Voly Louderbeck, taking us down to ll. In seventh grade we gained Ernest Sorensen, bringing us back up to 12. In eighth grade we gained Jacqnlyn Macky, totaling us to 13. We entered High School in 1955 with a group of lk-afterlosing Jacqulyn Macky, but gaining Sharon Buren and Norene Dykstra. After suffering the usual punishment of initiation, we became adjusted to high school work. Mr. Wolverton was our sponsor and Mr. Matzdorf was our principal. In our Sophmore year we lost Phyllis Bruggom, totaling us to 13. Mr. Wolverton.was our sponsor. This time we enjoyed the Freshman initiation. In our Junior year we totaled ll after losing Ernest Sorensen and Marilyn Rolfes. We presented our class play, UHappy Dazen with the help 0f.Mrs. Tanner. with Mrs. Colvin's help we gave the Junior-Senior Banquet with the theme of NThe Gay Nintiesu. We didn't lose anybody in our Senior year so we still totaled ll. These wearied, worried and worthy graduates who had made it tnmgh. the many years and were fortunate enough not to have moved away will be the ones who will be remembered as the class of '59. They areg Beatrice Ballou, David Ballou, Roberta Blok, Donna Bogaard, Sharon Buren, Norene Dykstra, Mary Kuiper,Stanley Lemkuil,Bradley Pietins, Arvin Verburg, and Edwin Wolthuizen Mr. Matzdorf was our sponsor with whose help we planned our various esca- pades to which, Seniors are entitled. Mrs. Tanner helped us present our Senior class play, HKeep Movingu. After our graduatiqm exercises the faculty willsorrowfully and regret- fully let us slip from their grasp with the hope that our thirteen years exposure to academic life will have rubbed off on a few of us. But let's give credit where credit's due: We had to be slicker'n a hounds tooth and twice as sharp to come out of Hthat onen standing up. .
