CLASS HISTORY Ringing of the nine o'clock bell called 23 bright-eyed freshmen to the study hall of L. p. H. S. in the year 1945-46. Mr. Colestock was chosen advisor and Mrs. V. Nesheim, class mother. Their first big thrill of high school life came in the form of initiation by the so called superior seniors. The girls were attired in gunnysack dresses with accesories of onions and twine and five-buckle overshoes. They wore their hair in nine braids, tied with green ribbons, and carried milk pails and tooth brushes. The boys wore short dresses, silk stockings, high-heeled shoes and ladies hats. Purses and Jewelry completed their outfits for freshman initiation. The high-lights of the remainder of the year were the carnival, with Bob Olson and Phyllis marek as king and queen candidates and Homecoming Day with Madalyn Nesheim as our class queen. A hay-ride and a board-ride party added spots of gaiety to our beginning of four years of fun and learning in L. P. H. S. At the close of the year we were taken to Lake Campbell for a picnic and skating. 2 eager sophomores reported for school the next year. Susie Vostad was the only one who dropped out. Keith Hesby and Eldon Anderson Joined us from Hetland. The new teachers that year were R. Stewart, M. Leighton and R. Baeder. H. Miller was selected as advisor and Mrs. C. Collins as olass mother. Lois Lee moved to Idaho that year, reducing us to a mere 23. Ruth Olson and Charles Hendricks represented our class at the oarnival and Norma Holland was selected for our Homecoming Day queen. Class, parties consisted of a hay-ride and a party given by our class mother at the park. The picnic was held at Lake Campbell. Upon taking roll-call at the ringing of the nine o'clock bell at the beginning of our next year, Mrs. Alseth discovered one new student. Herb Jones, among the class of ambitious Juniors. Upon passing to classes we observed that our new teachers were Supt. R. F. Galer, D. Willey, E. Jungemann and H. Melemeseter. Mrs. C. Holland was chosen as our mother and D. willey was the advisor. Our Junior year was packed with activities. We took over the Blue and Gold and also sold lunches at games to raise money for the banquet. Our carnival king and queen candidates were Herb Jones and Gaye Strande. Homecoming queen candidate was Beverly Tolzin. During the year, Lynn Atwood and Mary Jane Oleson enrolled as juniors. Our class rings arrived in January. The Junior play, Meet The Folks , was presented early in the spring with very favorable results. The Junior-senior banquet wjs held, carrying out the theme of Hswaii. Madalyn Nesheim was toastmistress. Our prom was held at Arlington. Several of the juniors displayed talent when Lois Williams, Madalyn Nesheim, Mary McLain and Rodney Peterson qualified to enter in the district declamatory contest and Rodney went on to the state where he rated a good. Phyllis Marek attended Girls State and Charles Hendricks went to Bovs State. The picnic basket was slightly upset at Arlington on the last day of school. As a result, some of’the students went to Lake Campbell and the rest skated on .t Lake Kampeska. There were several changes in the class of mighty seniors. Gaye Strande and Herb Jones left us and Doris Falla, Doris Wonsbeck, Florence KJellsen and Dorothy McNamara signed up for our last year in the halls of L.P.H.S. Under our advisor, Ida B. Alseth, we have completed a very satis- factory year. Mrs. H. Anderson was our class mother. New teachers in- cluded Mrs. L. A. She: nan, J. Van Steenwyck, C. Stevenson and V. Eckert. Doris Falla and Rodney Erickson reigned as carnival king and queen and Doris Wonsbeck was the candidate for Homecoming Day queen. Bob Olson was the Marshall. Madalyn Nesheim was the D. A. R. candidate. Other high-lights of the year included the following: senior pheasant feed, served by our mothers, organizing of the F. F. Club, publishing of the annual and presentation of the senior play. The seniors proved their abilities in the field of music when Lois Williams, Madalyn Nesheim, Mary McLain Charles Hendricks and Rodney Erickson qualified to sing in the state contest at Milbank. We have chosen the motto, The ropes of today ring the bells of tomorrow , to guide us as we leave L.P.H.S. after four enjoyable vear. « 16
