Now that we are Juniors and about to enter the last year of our 'educational Journey', we look back on our past happy school days which began back in 1935. There were ten of us then, namely: Donald Campldilli, Donna Groshart, Marvin Gustofson, Esther Hlnners, Marvin Hoover, Marjorie Lambert, Vernon Person, Vernon Peterson, Lrdea Schwendemann and Donald Brooks. Miss Jenkins was our teachen lhen we entered the second grade, we were welcomed by Miss Jenkins again. The next year found us in the third grade. Miss Violet Holden was our teacher. Miss Holden was also our fourth grade teacher. A little of our shyness had began to wear off during our fifth and sixth grades, and we thought we were pretty smart. Miss Foy Beck was our teacher for both grades. At last we are in junior high, one step nearer that wonderful day when we will be admitted to high school. Of course, we had the eight grade ahead of us, but we sailed through that grade fast. Miss Ruby Lind was our teacher. le were 'freshmen' in high school now. At the beginning of the year, as is the usual custom, we were initiated. This was very embarrassing for us Wgreenles' but everyone else had a good time. The year went fast and we soon found ourselves to be 'sophmores.' This year lsn't as exciting as the others, but we managed to get through it and now we are Juniors! The members of our class are: Ardea Schwendemann, Lloyd Flnck, Marvin Gustafson, Phyllis Boker, Betty Jean Smith, Lavona Lundberg, Robert Fors, Marilyn Lindhart, and June Carlson. Oh! how wonderful it is to be a Junior, but wouldn't it be simply scrumptious if we were Seniors!
