Class History We proudly present our class of '71 which began in 1958. We started with fourteen members con- sisting of Roberta Schweitzer, Mary Wood, Darla Daugherty, Kathy Fisher, Carol Hughes, Sharon Wil- liams, Karen Duryea, Eddie Duryea, Penny Franzen, Neal Johnson, Roger Clay, Mike Hickman, Doug Saner, and Yvonne Diefenbaugh, with Mrs. Homer Huntzinger as our teacher. In first grade we were joined by four eager students - Joyce Bartak, DeAnn Sorenson, Laurel Curtis, and Leslie Crone. We lost Kathy Fisher. Penny Franzen, and Neal Johnson. Again Mrs. Huntzinger was our teacher. Our second grade year we were guided by two patient teachers - Mrs. Wanda Wilson, during the first semester and Mrs. Lois Anderson during the second semester. We lost Carol Hughes, but our loss was overshadowed by a gain of five wholesome individuals - Marjorie Fletcher, Robin Fletcher, Dee Adams, Vernon Daugherty, and Danny Gracey making a total of nineteen. Being divided our third year we again had two teachers - Miss McDuffee and Mrs. Borchers. Doug Saner, Vernon Daugherty, Danny Gracey. and DeAnn Sorenson left us with none taking their places. Mrs. Lois Anderson was given the pleasure of teaching our fourth grade class in 1963. We gained one student this year - Greg Hirsch. Fifth grade year we sprang to the total of twenty-one students. Welcomed were Diane Pflaster, Randy Pflaster, Joni Vavra, Edward Sterner, Linda McAlevy, Mike Howard, Connie Howard, and Beth Bartak. LeAnn Jacobsen also joined later in the year. Mrs. Lois Anderson was again our supervisor. We greeted six new students our sixth grade year - Charlene Blakeman, Marie McGinn, Marilyn Bartak, Dean Coleman, Christi Russel, and Everett White. Together we learned school's true meaning- work. Mr. Lauer served as teacher. Our seventh grade class gained Patty Fagan while losing three - Connie Howard. Mike Howard, and Marie McGinn. We also lost Mary Wood during the second semester. Mr. Johnson was a friend as well as a good teacher to many who looked up to him for supervision. We gained most of our students during our eighth rade year - Barbara Daily, Bill Thiel, Bonnie Sargent, Tom Knott, Karen Kinish, Jeanette Holley. Kathy Fisher, Renea Fiorelli, Joyce Curtis, Judy Clang, and Peggy Christen. Because of our over-populated school room, they gave half of us to Mrs. Lois Anderson and the other half to Mrs. Lucile Smets. Barbara Daily, Roberta Schweitzer, and Tom Knott sneaked out before we entered high school. Cathy McCullough, Mary Wood, David Tucker, Ray Squier, and Nelda Hall were welcomed by the remaining Freshman class in 1968. Our sponsor was Mr. Sawyer. Being welcomed to the Sophomore class was Vicki Stithem who made the number of students thirty-nine. Later the same year Bill Thiel left. Mr. Edelman served as class sponsor. Our Junior year Mr. Edelman worked along with the class to prepare for prom. It was a lot of work so we felt lucky to have him as a sponsor. This year Nancy Ritchie who had joined us in the seventh grade left and was replaced by Shirley Carson who also left a little later. Rick Linderman and Bill McCaslin joined us during this year. Student wise our Senior year we had an even break. Rick Linderman left the second semester but was soon to be replaced by Patricia Romo Leroux A., our friend from Ecuador. Everyone had fun on Sneak when we finally got going, including our sponsor, Mr. Doug Shada who was well-deserving of the trip.
