 It was the year of 1940. There were seventy of us—our first day of Kindergarten. One of the highlights of our seven years in North Ward was the giving of the operetta, In the Land of Dreams Come True. We took part in the Daisy Chorus and played in the Rhythm Band. The following years in North Ward were spent doing many things—kite and marble tournaments, dinners, plays, treasure hunts, and a little studying. In 1946 there were forty-one of us who entered the sixth grade—our last year in North Ward. We had our traditional Christmas dinner during the holidays. Our promotion exercises were held on May fourteenth in the North Ward auditorium. Then we took a big step—we went to junior high school. During our second year in junior high, Mrs. Hendricksen had a Valentine's party and graduation dinner for us. Our graduation exercises were on May nineteenth. We were joined by twenty-eight new students at the beginning of our freshman year to make a total of sixty-two. Our class officers for that year were Barbara Rystrom, president; Dick Anderson, vice president; Alice Watson, secretary; and Lorraine Shimp, treasurer. Mrs. Lucille Chamburn was our sponsor and Mr. and Mrs. W. G. McNeice were our class parents. Our class party was a St. Patrick's party. There were again sixty-two of us in our second year of high school. Our class officers were Bob MacDonald, president; Melvin Kleim, vice president; Norma Eirich, secretary; and Dick Anderson, treasurer. Mr. Elmer Elmshaeuser was our sponsor and Mr. and Mrs. E. A. MacDonald were class parents. Forty-nine of us began the junior year. Our officers were George Walleson, president; Jack Leikam, vice president; Louise Pieper, secretary; and Richard Nuss, treasurer. Mr. Eugene Knepper and Miss Martha Clifton were our sponsors. Mr and Mrs. Carl Anderson were class parents. Our class play, Love is Too Much Trouble, was a big success. An Evening in Paris was chosen as the theme foi the Junior-Senior Banquet. Both the banquet and prom were held at the Greek Hall. It finally arrived! Our senior year—the year for which we had all been waiting! Our class officers were Dick Anderson, president; Melvin Kleim, vice president; Lorraine Shimp, secretary; and Dorothy Kramer, treasurer. Melvin Kleim succeeded Dick as president at the beginning of the second semester. Mr. E. W. Maurer and Miss Martha Clifton were class sponsors and Mr. and Mrs. Anderson were class parents. Marvin McNeice, Melvin Kleim, Bob MacDonald, and Dick Anderson carried the traditions for the class. Our Senior Class Play was presented on May first and graduation was on the nineteenth of May. Of the forty-five of us who graduated in 53, only thirteen of the original class of 1940 remained. They were Shirley Abeyta, Helen McGinley, Frank Reyes, Lee Feather, Ruby Rodriguez, Bob MacDonald, Donna Richter, Edward Tafoya, Joan Warrick, Richard Schumacher, Leo Rusch, Delores Lundgen and Barbara Rystrom. The past years have slipped by so quickly and so unmarked. We are ready to depart from Bayard High. Each will go his own way. Perhaps we will forget many of the things that have been done, but we will never forget the people with whom we have worked and played—our classmates of 53.
