We thought we were pretty smart, but teacher dear soon had us under control. Barbara Rounds, Homer Ewoldt, Connie Maurstad and Rita Thorne joined our jolly class. We lost Harland Cummings. Upstairs at last! Miss Koch and Mr. Fox welcomed us and soon put a damper on our spirits, or at least tried. We shall never forget the expression on Mr. Fox’s face the day his suspenders snapped. Delmar Brockshus, Charles Allred, Denise Dykstra, Mary Lou Westphal and Karen Wiese joined us that year. Mary Jo Ostrom moved to Galesburg, Illinois, during the first semester. Miss Jones took Miss Koch's place; we assume she just couldn't stand us. I hirty-three pupils started eighth grade. Betty Dykstra, Harland Cummings, Gerald Nissen and Jay Hofmeyer joined us; Marcheta Olhausen and Lester Muilen- burg left. We started our freshman year with a bang-freshman initiation. Somehow we managed to survive the day which consisted of long-legged underwear, corn starched hair, work shoes, Lifebouy soap, onions and the paddle line. We started our high school career with fifty students. This year we had many new names to learn. They were Virgil Fink, Curtis Bremer, Gilbert Denny, Dennis Ewoldt, Bob Feddersen, Leland Glaser, Harlan Heetland, LeRoy Krikke, John Noonan, Mable Groff, Rosalie Habbena, Kar- lene Kluender, Glenda Meyer, Phyllis Mohni, Marilyn Peterson, Marlene Schwein, Betty Speck, Glenda Uittenbogard, Sharon Harms and Roy Peterson. JoAnn Hesse and Harland Cummings were our homecoming candidates and Marlys Klinker was our Oracle candidate. Our freshman year ended with a picnic at Lake Okoboji. This ended the days at Hartley High for Virgil Fink, Curtis Bremer, LeRoy Krikke, Glenda Uittenbogard and Roy Peterson. Page Fifteen

— 1957 ORACLE— CLASS HISTORY (Continued) After three months of wonderful vacation, we returned to school and our sopho- more year. We began with forty-five students this year. Candidates for homecoming were Betty Speck and Bob Anderson. Our float received a second place rating. JoAnn Hesse reigned over our Oracle and Pat Foley was her attendant. We entered our junior year with forty-two; our class seemed to be getting small- er all the time. Those who left us were Cheryl Baird, Rosalie Habbena and Sharon Harms. Although we lost three, Norman Kroese from Moneta joined us to make it total forty. Our homecoming king and queen this year were Mable Groff and Jay Hofmeyer. Our float, which was very well constructed, won first prize. Another great moment during our junior year was when we received our class rings. Although some didn't keep them very long, they were very pretty. Mary Lou Westphal was our Oracle candidate this year. The biggest event of our junior year was getting ready for our banquet. The theme was Hitch Your Wagon to a Star. We had a delicious dinner and a dance afterwards. Oh, those late hours, but it was loads of fun! Our last year in good old Hartley High School began with forty-two. Homer Ewoldt left us at the end of the junior year. Lyle Stoterau graduated and Jeanette Boe- tel left us at the end of the first semester, which left us with our present number of forty. Our first big thrill for the year was freshman initiation. Oh, those poor fresh- men ! Then came homecoming. Our float received second prize. JoAnn Hesse and Harland Cummings reigned over the festivities. Barbara Olhausen and Mable Groff were the attendants. For our pictures all forty of us made a trip to Spencer to Medlar’s to say cheese.” The queen of our yearbook, the Oracle, is Margo Brinkert. So now we must say goodbye to thirteen years of hard work. There have been good times and bad ones. Now we, the class of '57 must step aside and let another class take our place. The school life for us ends, but a new and different life will soon begin as we leave these doors of this, our beloved school. Rage Sixteen
