CLASS HISTORY The Seniors of '53 began their education under the guidance of Miss Everhart. The only one of the original starting class who went the entire twelve years is Gus Jacob. Jackie Hauck started with us but left during her second year. In our second year, under Miss Wilson, we were joined by Ronnie Wynn from Manchester and Wesley McCaskell from the country. In our third year, under the direction of Miss Streeter, we were sorry to lose Ronnie Wynn but happy to gain Marilyn Ryland. We continued in our fourth year under the direction of Miss Theisen. Miss Theisen was happy to advance us to the fifth grade, where we gained two new pupils, Jackie Hauck and Neil Carpenter. Our teacher was Miss Benson. In the sixth grade we were under the guidance of Mrs. Kingslin. In the seventh grade, under Miss Anderson, we were happy to gain Don Conner. We began our eighth grade under Miss Hinz. Ronnie Wynn and Lloyd Gehm joined us. We entered high school as green freshmen, at which time we were initiated by the high and mighty seniors. Our class was greatly enlarged again when we were joined by Deloris Aalbers, Martha Bau, Herman Blote, Audrey Dykstra, Barbara Fitts. Marcella Hanson, Don Hendricks, Lois Johnson. Marilyn Jones, Arlene Lee, Robert Lee, Verlyne Lembke, LaVonne Page, Shirley Reese, Don Russell, Robert Sterr, Eugene Timm, Lionel Van Ningen and Dale Williams. Now as sophomores we continued our high school education with the gain of one student, Lonny Chase coming from Mitchell. Throughout our junior year we were busy with the junior play, “Cheaper by the Dozen,” publishing the Barker and the Junior-Senior Prom. In our junior year Pete Kruse joined us from Willow Lake. Our senior year we welcomed Virginia Palmer, from Chester, Nebraska, into our class. Some of the things that we will always remember are the senior play, “Spring Fever,” the Junior-Senior Prom and publishing the Annual. May 18 the 31 members of the Class of ’53 will don their caps and gowns to receive their diplomas and end their high school career. TEN
