The primal day of school in our fresh an year was indeed a memorable one for the students from the rural and parochial school joined us. The most noticeable change in the routine was the use of individual lockers and passing to different rooms for classes. New couples were formed with probably the most astonishing ones being that of Killer and Janice and Carol Mae and jim Herder. The girls began to be more particular in their choice of school clothes, wearing their white band shirts with the tails dragging. Ardis and her friend stunned the populace with the wearing of argyle kneesocks with reindeer sweaters. It is believed that the presence of limburger cheese which Peter Overaas brought to his gal broke up their friendship for a while. Dramatic incident of the year was The Red Carnation , a playlet given by john S., Tom D. and Ruby Lou I. at the class party. Senior High, we bid you, welcome us! Looking back on it now, we certainly were green, but at the time who was more omnipotent than we? At an early date we were put through the paces of initiation. jackson placed second in the district basketball,tournament held here. The girls physical education demonstration was strikingly original! May 3 and 4 brought the music festival at Worthington. With the arrival of Miss Willey the famed triple trio was changed to a Madrigal composed of 13 girls. Magnolia Blooms'I representing our school as a one-act play at Windom, rated superior with three of the cast being members of our class. Our year as sophomores was climaxed by the class party in form of a lively county fair. The first highlight of our junior year was the presentation of Annie Laurie on November 13. We sent representatives to the district and regional speech contests. We all may well remember Coach Knoll's history classes where we so often encountered those small quizzes . The dis- trict music festival was held here with three other towns participating. Nell, the farmer's daughter, visited us at the annual band concert. We began early preparations for entertaining the seniors at the spring ban- quet with the setting of Little America. A few were privileged to attend All-State Band and Chorus. The chorus presented an effective vesper program on April 13. Before the Junior-Senior Prom many were busy filling out their dance progr ms. And on to the top. 'So many world stirring events occurred that it would be impossible to include them all. Our football team received the honor- able title of South-West Co-Champs. The grand piano in our school finally became a reality. The Honor Society was selected and installed. Again we made use of our dramatic abilities with the presentation of Our Hearts Were Young and Gay . The incidents of Skip Day will linger long in our minds. The Junior-Senior banquet at which we were guests of the juniors and also the Prom at which time they were our guests proved suc- cessful. At last we attended Baccalaureate exercises as Seniors. The goal of our high school life was reached when we received our long awaited diplomas at graduation exercises. We all wish to express our heartfelt appreciation to the entire faculty for the part they played in sharing our joys and sorrows and so willingly helping us to become better students and citizens of the future. Good-bye, jackson High! 1.21,
