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.

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 ,.

At the beginning of our second year in junior high school, the eighth grade had an en- ' rollment of fifty-two members. We chose our class colors, which were pink and navy. i Many people spent a lot of time and effort on our float this year. Our slogan was: BROIL THE FALCONS. We were quite proud of it when we received third place. It was a pleasure to attend the crowning of Queen Deanna Habeck and to join in the snake dance. To end the evening we had a pep fest and a bonfire which was very enjoyable. Q In the magazine drive the class's hard work was rewarded by coming out ahead of all the other classes. Dwight Strand as president and Dale Simonson, secretary did a very good job of keeping track of our money. Many of the class members received prizes, among them Jan Simpson, an elephant, Roger Klask received 35. Wayne Brant a blanket, and Brenda Bodding a toy, stuffed dog. Dale Oanes was the highest magazine seller of the school and received quite a handful of prizes. On Sadie Hawkins day the whole school dressed up in costumes. We all appreciated and enjoyed the Sadie Hawkins party. A prize was given for the funniest looking girl's and boy's costume. Dean Simonson won the boy's prize. The class enjoyed the football games and basketball games and are looking forward to becoming Freshmen in Senior High. in O E N G d e Dwight Strand, Pres., Eileen Williams, Treas., Gray- don Bell, Vice-Pres., Dale Simonson, Sec'y.
