When we are in class we have to work, or at least give that appear- ance. And we actually do study in study hall . . . sometimes. About four minutes before the bell rings, all pretenses of work stop and everyone waits.

unior aaa Bob Ridge-Vice President, Fed Wellhausen-Secre tary, Dale Winch-Treasurer, Bruce Bacon- President. Just wait until we're seniors, promise the junior class, we'll really put Anoka on the map! So the class of '58 furiously slaves over their American Heritage in English Qlearning how to crack a whip and drive a wagon train forward, and their American History f We have met the enemy and they are ours , , so that they can fulfill this goal. Some even choose to take a subject called speech, where they can learn how to talk more loudlyg or how to say a lot of nothing for seven minutes. At any rate, all are setting the foundation for their goal. As a matter of fact, they have already begun .... To organize themselves into a working group, the class chose Bruce Bacon as president, Bob Ridge as vice-president, Fred Wellhausen as secretary, and Dale Winch as treasurer. Ar the 29th annual football banquet Jeff Herberg and Bob Ridge were chosen as co-captains for the 1957 season. In basketball, Vern McGonagle was the junior star of the starting line-up. And certainly the juniors showed no lack of participation in wrestling, hockey, track, and base- ball. In other words, the class of '58 really eamed a name for themselves as well as for Anoka. Of course, not all the credit goes to the boys, the peppy cheerleaders rousing them on to victory were Sandra Mills and Judy Reno for the B squad, and Sandra Miller for A squad alternate. Then, not to he outshown by anyone, the juniors chose Ruth Ann Brown and Sandra Mills as football attendants, and Esther Hulegaard and Janet Levine as their basketball home- coming attendants. Displaying their many ideas and artistic ability with a final flourish, this enterprising class entertained the seniors at the prom, THE formal dance of the year. Thus the class of '58 truly has eamed the right to wear their class rings and wait for the time when they are seniors.
