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.

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 school year of 1956-1957 found sixty-five seventh graders entering the new school forthe first time. Miss Efteland and Mr. Christianson, our class advisors, told us t.he general routine of the school day. The first few days there was a state of confusion and bewilder- ment among the seventh graders. Miss Efteland was kept busy finding lost seventh graders, opening stuck lockers and remembering forgotten locker combinations. The first social ev ent of the year was Homecoming. We enjoyed the snake dance and bonfire very much. The overwhelming project facing the seventh graders was the con- stnrction ofafloat for the Homecoming parade. But with the combined efforts of the wil- ling workers together with the assistance of Mr. Christianson, a float depicting the defeat of Fertile was built. To the great satisfaction of the seventh graders the float won the second prize of 36.00. After the parade the seventh graders went to the game and last of all the Homecoming party, which we enjoyed very much. On Sadie I-lawkin's day, the class came to school dressed in Dog Patch Style! Daisy Mae's and L'il Abners roamed the halls. Dog Patch schooling was in style that day, too- little or no learning-but lots of fun! In the evening the Sadie Hawkin's party was held. Seventh grade girls took advantage of the Sadie I-lawkin's tradition and escorted their favorite seventh grade boys to the party. On Halloween the Ada P.T.A, sponsored a party for all the students. The purpose of the partywas to eliminate the door to door tricks and treating . The seventh grade attended the party somewhat reluctantly, but as the evening progressed the spirit of fun took over and the party was a huge success. The seventh grade is divided into two sections. One section included band members andthe other non-band members. Allband members belong to the Junior band and several belonged to the A band also. A large number of the seventh graders also belonged to the junior choir, which is under the direction of Mr. Christiansen. Seventh Grade ROW 1: Qleft to rightj M. Stadum, F. Brommenschenkel, M.
