The Sophomore class began the 1956-l95'7 school year with forty-one students. A new member was added after Christmas, so the total rose to a new high of forty-two members! We were a very industrious class and we provided a huge bonfire for the Viking's Home- coming. It was a lot of work, but on the eve of Homecoming, we were all very proud of our big and bright bonfire. Fishing for Victory was our floattheme for the Homecoming parade. In the spring, we decorated the gymnasium for Baccalaureate Services. Our class also took an active part in many of thc various school activities. We had two members on the Debate squad, four in Thespians, four participating in one-act plays, a large number taking declamation and many members in the high school band. Besides this, many of the boys in the Sophomore class took a very active part in the school athletic program. We had no class parties throughout the year, but we did have one big class celebration on the last day of school. Patterning our trip after those of many Sophomore classes before us, we spent our last day of school at Detroit Lakes where we went boating, swimming fit was coldlj, shopping, playing tennis and just plain loafing. Everyone enjoyed the trip immensely. We feel we owe a great deal of gratitude and thanks to our two advisors, Mr. Ruoff and Mr. McMullen, who supervised our activities throughout the year. 5 1 I -V TC ,.

Theluniorclass this year lived up tothe theme of the l95'7 annual, for this year we learned to work hand in hand . We started off the year by winning first prize on our Homecoming float, a green and brown beauty with ROAST THE FALCONS as our theme. This was the second time our class was to have this honor. As the year progressed we began to think of ways to raise money for our Prom and Banquet. First of all, we held a school dance after the winter band concert. Our next party for the school was held after the sub-district championship game and many schools were invited. Our bake sale was a big success, for which we were all very happy. Like all Juniors in the past we had our traditional class play. Our play was entitled MOTHER WAS A FRESHMANN and proved quite good. The laughter and excitement of our class play is something none of us shall ever forget. Our Banquet and Prom were held the night of May 18. The whirl of new net formals and dashing new suits made it a night of magic for all of us. When the evening was over, we were all glad that our work throughout the yearhad not been in vain. Asluniors we would like to extend our thanks to Mrs. Vigness and Mr. Sitta, our advisors, who were always willing to lend a helping hand. Of course, we are looking forward to our year as Seniors, but we shall never forget our Class Officers: Jim MCCIS-nk, TISHS-, Barbara Klllg, Junior year, when hand in hand we climbed the ladder to the end of a successful year.

The class of 1960 started their Freshman year with an unusual number of thirty-eight boys and twenty-two girls. For the first time in our whole school career, we were given the privilege of choosing a few of our subjects. The choice was between home economics, general business, in- dustrial arts, or agriculture. Our other subjects are English, science, algebra and physical edu- cation. Nearly half of the members of our class are members of band. Most of the basketball B team members are Freshmen. They won eleven games and lost only eight. We think they did a pretty good job! We are also proud to say that three of the B team cheerleaders are from our class. During our Freshman year we held two class parties, both in the spring of the year. One of the parties was held in the old school gymnasium and the other was in the form of a trip to Fargo at the end of the year. In Fargo, we all enjoyed ourselves while shopping, attending a show and having a real good time not doing much of anything but laughing and seeing the town. We were invited to most of the high school parties and certainly enjoyed them very much. Freshman C ass ROW 1: J. Perry, H. Stene, W. Cade, L. Jamison, A. Ellingson, C. Thorson,A.Wilkens,C. Yost, J.
