SENIOR CLASS HISTORY One bright sunny morning in September, 1940, five wide-eyed youngsters, walked up the front steps of the Fort Laramie Grade School. One by one they were intro- duced to Miss Jordan, their first grade teacher. They were as follows: Patricia Niet- feld, Charles Potter, Franklin Peterson, Bruce White, Clifford Paules and Gordon Ruttman. In the Second year all the pupils returned with Miss Jordan again as their instructor. Miss Dugger, our third grade teacher helped us welcome Patsy Glasgow into our class. Under the supervision of Mrs. Graham, our fourth year found us all back with two newcomers. Jack Daiss and Bob Linhart. As we progressed along the road of knowledge, we found that Mrs. Sandercock was our fifth grade teacher. We lost Patsy Glasgow and Franklin Peterson as classmates and gained Bill Reinke and Franklin Sanners. As we entered our sixth year with Miss Miller as our teacher, we found our class enlarged by two--Donna Oliver, Don Foote, but we also lost two--Franklin Sanners and Bob Linhart. September, 1946 found us entering Junior High with a class enrollment of eight, with Mr. Kirby as our teacher. Darlene Erschabek was our new student--however, during the end of the first semester Bill Reinke moved to Torringion. In our final Junior High year we had seven students at the beginning of the year. At this time Dick Doss, Bill Malay and Loren Holmes joined our ranks. Mr. Bob Woods was our instructor. In September 1948 we entered our Freshman year of school. Tom McGilvery, Bill Malay and Loren Holmes dropped out at the end of the eighth grade leaving only seven of us to be initiated. Miss Ingalls was chosen our sponsor. Entering our Sophomore year we lost Donna Oliver, but we gained Diane Conkle. Mr. Conkle was our sponsor. We had two newcomers our Junior year--Don Calahan and Don Peterson; we also lost Diane Conkle, who moved to Lingle. Mrs. Eggers, our sponsor, helped us present our very successful Class Play, Listen to Leon. We also put on a banquet and prom for the Seniors. Here we are now in our Senior year with Mr. McCollar as our sponsor. Clifford Paules did not enroll with the class this year. However, with the enrollment of June Bryson, our class remained at eight students. We enjoyed presenting our Senior Play and going on sneak day. We will always remember the Banquet and prom the Juniors presented to us.
