Class History One sunny day in September 1947, 15 anxious little boys and girls began their long journey of education in Franklin School. They were Marilyn Arke, Vern Scheafer, Marilyn Mergen, Ruth Rath, Richard Jacobs, Judy Augustad, Lorraine Dahmen, Dean Lefer, Gary Peterson, Jim Fods, Bob Brummel, Newell Ordal, Judy Church, Lois Hass, and Jerry McAllister. Our teacher was Miss Carol Weber. We started our second grade with the addition of Henrietta Hoek. Miss Weber again was our teacher, but we were sorry to leave behind Gary Peterson and Dean Lefer who could not keep up with us. We also lost Lorraine Dahmen and Jerry McAllister who moved away in February and March. In the third grade we were fortunate to gain Barbara Huls, Verdonna Williams, Dick Foster, Margaret Jandl, and Larry Arneson. Miss Dona Keiner was our teacher. Mrs. Mullany taught us in the fourth grade. This year we lost Judy Church who joined the class behind us. The number of our class was increased with two newcomers, Lyle and Lyla Muth, later on in the year Loren Skinner also joined us. We started the fifth grade with the same faces except for Ruth Rath and Bob Brummel who moved away during the summer. This left us with Marilyn Arke, Vern Scheafer, Marilyn Mergen, Richard Jacobs, Judy Augustad, Jim Fods, Newell Ordal, Lois Hass, Henrietta Hoek, Barbara Huls, Verdonna Williams, Dick Foster, Margaret J andl, Lyle Muth, Lyla Muth, Loren Skinner, and Larry Arneson. Larry left in February. Our teacher this year was Mrs. Smith. As our class advanced another step to the sixth grade with Mrs. Smith as our teacher, we were happy to gain Ruth Rath and James Hymans. .But later on in the year Barbara Huls moved to Brandon. Dick Foster and Loren Skinner left us and Connie Vbgt joined us as we entered the seventh grade leaving the total number of 16. But this number was increased to one more when Rudy Bargmann joined us in March. Mrs. Glenn Granflaten was our teacher this year. As we entered the eighth grade we found we were getting closer and closer to high school. During the year Toiny Piehl joined us. As this year came to a close with Mrs. Granflaten as our teacher, it ended the happy years of our grade school. We graduated with 18 members. In the fall of 1955 Marilyn Arke, Vern Scheafer, Marilyn Mergen, Ruth Rath, Richard Jacobs, Judy Augustad, Jim Fods, Margaret Jandl, Connie Vogt, Lyla Muth, Lyle Muth, Verdonna Williams, Lois Hass, Rudy Bargmann, Newell Ordal, James Hymans, Andy Bos, Paul McAreavey, Dick Foster, and Harvey Mathius entered Franklin High School. The new members who joined us were Andy, Paul, Dick, and Harvey. Toiny Peihl and Henrietta Hoek moved away and after a few weeks Harvey Mathius decided to quit, The summer before our sophomore year Andy Bos moved to Colman, and in the middle of the year Ruth Rath left us. As we entered our junior year we realized that our goal was nearing. We were unfortunate to lose several members of our class this year. Vern Scheafer and Connie Vogt went to Colton School, Margaret Jandl decided to become a working girl and Jim Fods thought he had enough schooling. We lost Judy Augustad in the summer, but gained Toiny Piehl, a transfer student from Madison Central in December. There are now 13 in the Senior Class. They are Marilyn Arke, Rudy Bargmann, James Hymans, Lois Hass, Richard Jacobs, Paul McAreavey, Marilyn Mergen, Lyla Muth, Lyle Muth, Newell Ordal, Verdonna Williams, Toiny Piehl, and Dick Foster.

Class Will We, the Senior Class, being remarkably brilliant, unusually talented, and endowed with outstanding abilities do establish this our last will and testament: We, the Senior Class of '59, will to the music department all busted music stands, torn sheet music, busted horns, out of tune pianos, and reserve the right to carry the pianos from the auditorium to the music room to anyone who wants it. We, the Senior Class of '59, will to the athletic department all our old tennis shoes, dirty socks, busted shoestrings, filthy showers, spilled foot powder, and reserve the right to leave the showers running to anyone that wants Bill S. on their neck. We, the Senior Class of '59, will to the faculty all torn books, false excuses to get out of class, crib notes, writing on the walls, spilled ink, flunked tests, and anything else we've forgotten to mention. We, the Senior Class of '59, will to our fellow students the bars on the windows, gum under the desks, our ability to get along with the teachers, our skill to stay out of school and miss for no reason at all, and also leave to the incoming Freshman Class the dreadful four years of school in front of them. I, Marilyn Arke, will my giggle to Mr. Conway. I, Lyle Muth, will my ability to stay home to Dick Ordal. I, Rudy Bargmann, will my ability to go to town every night to Tim Mc. I, Newell.Ordal, will the money I spent on Mad Magazines to Mr. Moose. I, Richard Jacobs, will my ability to get into trouble to anybody that wants to have as much fun as I have had. I, Paul McAreavey, will my ability to go with Madison girls to Darrel Williams and Paul Oltmann. I, Verdonna Williams, will my Friday nights to Frances B. I, Lyla Muth, will my perfect attendance to basketball games to Sharon Crelly. I, Dick Foster, will my tuba to Joe Piehl. I, Lois Hass, will my height to Harlene Lunt. I, James Hymans, will my thirty mile daily bus ride to Ronnie S. May he have as much fun as I have had. I, Marilyn Mergen, will my quiet ways to Sharyl Fods. I, Toiny Piehl, will my extra study halls to Dennis Degen so he will have more time to check out. We hereby constitute and appoint the said superintendent sole executive of the last will and testament. In witness whereof, we, the Senior Class of 1959, seal this the 14th of May in the year of our Lord, one thousand nine hundred and fifty-nine. qsignedp Marilyn Arke Lyle Muth Rudy Bargmann Newell Ordal Richard Jacobs Paul McAreavey Verdonna Williams Lyla Muth Dick Foster Lois Hass James Hymans Marilyn Mergen Toiny Piehl
