Twelve years ago we had but one Trojan of the class who mounted her horse and started towards the castle of education, this being JoAnn Ferry. Ted Van Dieken who was a member of the class until his Jr. year traveled the journey with her. The two of us traveled alone until the fourth grade when Donna Pierce overtook us and joined the crusade. We came to a creek where we camped for several months. When we were rested we found we were ready to Journey on. Mounting our horses we found Dick Werner, coming from Battle Creek, to join our crusade. On the sixth milestone of our journey, Dale Nelson, from Plainview, had joined our ranks. After stopping for supplies we found Gerald Van Gundy, coming from a rural achool, had joined us to become a Trojan. We traveled through our seventh lap gaining or losing no one. On the eighth stop of our journey Gerald Van Gundy had decided to go back to a rural school. By this time our horses had become so tired they could not go any further so we switched to atomic power horses. At this junction we were Joined by Mabel Pfisterer, Opal Pollard, JoAnne Avery, Lois Brown, Robert Dahl, and Gerald Van Gundy, who came from nearby rural schools to become Trojans of our clan. Our chancellor, for the Trojans, for the lap was Mrs. Fender. We chose Mabel Pfisterer for our captain, Lois Brown for our co-captain, and JoAnn Ferry for our secretary and treasurer. Coming into the tenth valley we found that Jerry Morris had Joined our ranks. Stopping again for supplies we found Carol Tiedgen, who came from Colorado, had joined us. Again this year Mrs. Fender was our chancellor. Ted Van Dieken was our captain, JoAnne Avery our co-captain, Lois Brown our secretary and Dick Werner our treasurer. Soon we came to a sign post saying Eleventh Grade Ahead. Jerry Morris and Carol Tiedgen had left us hoping to find a shorter route. Mr. Gordan was our chancellor for the first semester, but when he decided to move on to other grounds, we chose Mr. Slentz. Our captain for this year was Lois Brown, with JoAnne Avery as co-captain, Mabel Pfisterer as secretary and Donna Pierce as treasurer. Wanting to earn money for the Jr.-Sr. Banquet we stopped long enough to put on a play, My Darling Children, every member taking part. Ted Van Dieken s atomic horse began to slow down, so he decided to camp at Stanton for the rest of his high school days. We journeyed on to the Old Fashioned Garden and gave the Seniors a farewell banquet there. We came to a huge sign post that stated we were on the last lap of our journey. Duane Chittenden Joined our ranks to make our number ten for the final stretch. We chose Mrs. Steffen to be our chancellor, and turned over Mr. Slentz s horse to her. She mounted and led us through our battles. JoAnne Avery was captain. Bob Dahl was co-captain, Lois Brown was secretary and Duane Chittenden was treasurer. We stopped long enough to give Take Your Medicine, in early April. Bob Dahl and Dick Werner took time out to play basketball and boost the Trojans on at a few good looking trophies. JoAnn Ferry also stayed a while and was again cheerleader for her third year. Mabel Pfisterer was a cheerleader, too. We deserted camp, to sneak away for a day of sight-seeing and fun. Coming back, we found that our atomic powered horses had deserted us, so we went the rest of the way on foot. On May 16 we were all handed diplomas which signified that we had come through our long journey of the twelve grades with flying colors.
