Under the capable, guiding hand of Miss Elstad the following students were the chartered members of the class of 1959: Jerry Bailey, Joyce Bailey, Kirk Bolles, Jim Buchanan, Rita Butler, Sharon Butler, Sharon Bothurn, Ronda Easler, Ronnie Fay, Karen Ferguson, Bridget Fritz, Dorothy Healy, Mic Holets, Teresa I-lunfeld, Stan Jervis, Ken Johnson, Rebecca Laumb, Eu Linders, Kay Meunier, Karen Mickelson, Jean Mitchell, Marjorie Pieper, Paul Rasmussen, Gorden Richards, Jeanne Richards, Larry Rogers, Yuette Rogers, Bob Rose, Pat Sanford, Rosemary Scott, Charlene Simpson, Beata Shaw, Laurie Stephens, and Karen Stephens. The following year we were joined by Donna Scharlberg and Bonnie Stecker. Our teacher, Miss Duane, taught us reading, writing, and arithematic. Miss Demmer greeted us at the beginning of our third ,year at which time no one moved to or away from our class. Going into the fourth grade we were greeted by Miss Morrisroe and five new students--Dennis Hove, Gary Bernard, Dave Holets, Jerry Richter, and Rose- mary Strain. At the beginning of our fifth grade Mrs. Kruger welcomed us at the door, we neither gained nor lost anyone at this time. For our sixth grade we were joined by Ronald Schoeppner, who, with the rest of us, listened inten- tively to Miss Gade before making the transition into high school. Now the time came when everyone was quite con- fused, and befuddled, as if we had lost our way, for, at last, we were in high school. Doris Strande, Archie Asleson, Bill Conway, Charlotte I-leikes, Carl Dailey, Jerry Olson, Barbara Schrader, Lois Greenlee, Dennis Gunderson, Dave Eggert, Pete Hutton, Gene I-lorsman, Bob Warner, and Pat O'Niel were additional members of our class. Some members we have lost, others we have gained, but with each one we have had pleasant memories. Lois King, Jean Williams, Mary Clark, Sharon Dunn Lyman Grieve, Bob Walker, Bill Warner, Mary Hed- berg, Bill Means, Sharon Willie, Shirley Loth, Alice Knutson, Joyce Ahern, Linda Copeman, Richard Sever- son, Wayne Gammell, and Wayne Baker increased our ranks as we began a year of more school work and less play for our eighth grade. The following year we became green freshmen and the sophomores had a wonderful time initiating us into Senior High. At this time we were joined by Julie Sutherland, Bob Mort, Arla Olson, Carol Ahern, LaDonna Buss, Kenneth Baier, Sharon Rexford, Mar- guerite Lucas, Gene Rehling, and Beverly Lindbeck. As sophomores we had the choice of taking geom- etry and typing as elective courses. Leonard Colvin, John Julian, and Susan Lowrie joined us for a happy year.
