, Wwtofzq Those green cap freshman days were in September of 1953. The East Side class elected Barb Mehling, president, Marge Hamell, secretary, and David Dewsbury, treasurer. The West Side class president was Joe Spencer. The Freshman Initiation Party was one of the big events of the year for us. Nancy Strom and Pat Johnson were our Carnival queen candidates. Some of our lucky classmates traveled with the band to the Mardi Gras in New Orleans. Dale Stockman, Sharon Hoffman, Carl Cullen and Janice Wedlund were elected the officers of our soph- omore class. Our first activity of the year was to sporsor the Get Acquainted Party for the freshmen. We took an enthusiastic part in the hilarious annual bonfire and snake dance. Nancy Kelley represented our class at the Halloween Carnival, and a few months later Corinne Robertz and Karen Kehtel were chosen FFA Sweetheart candidates. Again our band members traveled -- this time to Miarni,Florida, to partic- ipate in the Orange Bowl celebration. As the year drew to a close,we realized that our high school years were half over, and we all looked forward with anxiety to our junior and senior years. In the fall of '55 we became juniors at PHS. During this year we took part in many activities. Joe Spen- cer presided over our class, acting together with other officers who were Skip Fontaine, vice president Marge Harnell, secretary, and Dick Maki, treasurer. In November we presented our class play, Buy Ju- piter , an amusing comedy. Our financial objective of the year was to raise money for the prom, so ws promoted such activities as a magazine drive and a movie. The prom was held May 5 in the Duluth Ath- letic Club. The ballroom was decorated with a large moon,palm trees and luxuriant flowers to carry ou the theme of Moon Over Hawaii . Bob Dugar's Orchestra furnished the music. This was really the yea: for royalty, as we had four queens from our class. In October, Janice Wedlund was crowned Halloweer Carnival Queen, and Corinne Robeitz was crowned FFA Sweetheart in the spring. Kathe Terrell repre- sented our c lass also. Susan Granmoe was chosen Winter Frolics queen, and Sharon Hoffman became 'Miss Proctor . The arrival of our class rings in April was a real occasion. Selected to represent our class at Girls' and Boys' State were Janice Wedlund and Joe Spencer. This was the end of a busy, excit- ing year, but the most exciting year was yet to come. On September 5, 1957, we became seniors at last. Diane Beatty was our Halloween Carnival queen can- didate. Our unending projects for the year were concerned with raising money to finance the yearbook. Among them were ice cream sales, a movie, a magazine drive, pen sales, and yearbook sales and adver- tising. Our football team brought us fame by winning all of their games. Wayne Bohlin, Rodney Nelson, Susan Granmoe, and Helen Johnson were the class officers. The exchanging of graduation pictures be- came a familiar sight in January. Diane Beatty was crowned Homecoming Queen during the half-time ceremonies of the Proctor-Cloquet game, her attendants were Susan Granmoe, Barbara Provost, Corinne Robertz, and Janice Wedlund. In April the band members took a trip to Washington, D.C. to participate in the Cherry Blossom Festival. Our class play, The Birds and the Boys, was presented on May 3. On the evening of May 4, we were gu ests of the juniors at the prom, which was held in the Hotel Duluth. The approach of commencement, which was scheduled for May 31, drew near. The last week of school was spent ta ki ng exams, signing yearbooks, and practicing the processional march for graduation. On May 31 we became alumni of Proctor High and our school days became pleasant memories. '18
