TOUGH AS NAXLS, HARD AS BRICKS SR.CLASS OF '56 Wow! what a year we've had, We're just bubbling with things to tell you. Let's start with Chemistry, We recommend that everyone take Chemistry. It's lots of fun and easy. Did we say easy? Well it's fun and educational. We've felt very proud that everyone in school complemented us on ourlQS gas Crotten egg gasl. Many juniors felt that Bookkeeping would be a bigger help to them than Chemistry. I wonder if it was! We surely can't forget the top honors given to us in History and English class. Honors were for bluffing through our tests and were given by Miss Stewart and Mrs. Weeks respectively, Poor Mr, Fedje, what a year he's had. We seem to always hear him saying, WAll those with no errors raise your hand.n we don't get much hand raising exercise. Oh well, give us time, We're im- proving, Of course, studying wasn't all we did this year. We put on a very good pla , 'Uncle Fred Flits By.' We had a very nice Prom and banquet too, Our class is very well represented in Band,Concert Choir,and athletics! Alvin, Darrell and Arlan made first string in basket- ball and Jerry and Alvin are our next year football captains, Barbara was chosen for cheerleading and Harriet and Betty as Queen candidates, We'd better get busy, see you next year! 26

Eighth grade, slit wads, and trips to the study hall remain fixed in the seniors memories, We weren't quite old enough to join the high school parties and not qiite young enough to go to the central school parties. What a disillusionment! The bright futures of the better scholars were dulled by.the new and brighter scholar, Gwen Lee. Lively Viola Hoff kent the students with vivid imaginations laughing most of the time, Besides, she could yodel better than most of us, Green, green, green, freshmen is what Botno Hi beheld as Virginia Brandvold, Martin Boguslawski, Orbin Brandvold, Glenn Brandjord, and Lona Fugere entered. Mr, Bangs even smiled bravely when John Johnson, Ramon Johnson, Wendell Lillistrand, and Virgil Mortenson with hair all sliched up said, nHi 'ya R.W.' This was the year we should have had the cloakroom for giggling girls as Kerin Oelshlager was so kind to join us. The Thorsgaard's, Harvey and Allan continued to aid us in making life miserable for our teachers, while Jean Ralston, Doris Rassmussen, Wayne Vedquam, and Marvin Brandvold completed the list ofHGreeN feshmen. Ancient history and biology were made mlch more interesting with the help of Omar Hamnes, Orlando Shefflo, and Allen Lundy, Wayne Wall honored us with his presence by coming clear from Detroit to join ns while Shirley Martel and Lyla Bergeron came from Willow City, Not too big a difference between Detroit and Willow City, I'd say, We learnt this in nyeography,H Billy Siercks started the junior year off with a bang. Even MT. Borchgrt's spirit was shaken when he was that bright and shining face. Did we say bright? This was the year of the secrets of whispers but it did leak out that it was the best prom ever. Along with PDP and tickets for speeding came LeRoy Vannett and Lowell Fafnis. They added so much to our mixed up bunch.
