Qeidcw Hist uj In 1960, 21 eager students who had been preparing for this great moment for 5-6 years, were ready to undertake the courageous task of climbing to the top of the Educational Mount. These students were: Diane Herman, Linda McNeal, Emily Bialas, Jeanice Fleeman, Janet Kennedy, Waunetta Branting, Dixie Van Pelt, Karen Pickrel, John Wilson, Henry Anderson, Joe Beck, Joan Beck, Greg Johnson, Peggy Quinn, Stephanie Zoucha, Terry Engel, Sandy Beck, Gary Starostka, Tim Wemhoff, Deb Douglas, and John Culver. On our first stop, Mrs. Baird became our fearless leader. Shelly Jacobi and Debbie Szatko joined our group. Terry Engel and Jeanice Fleeman decided they had to rest for awhile, but would later »ejoin us. John Culver thought the task impossible and left us. Our second rest stop left us under the guidance of Mrs. Sloan. We gained Rodney Mace and Mark Esbeck. John Wilson slipped on a stone and fell off. Next, Mrs. Zlomke was in charge. We gained Barb Mundt and Becky and Dick Powers. We lost Mark Esbeck. Our fourth stop left us with 3 leaders: Mrs. Alexander, Mrs. Strickland, and Mrs. Craig. This was be- cause we were gaining in altitude and needed the extra leadership. Joe and Joan Beck, Peggy Quinn, Becky and Dick Powers, and Emily Bialas were afraid of the height and left us. Tim Wemhoff went back for more rope. As we ventured on, we came to our fifth stopping place. Here we were back to one leader. Miss Zoucha. We also gained Cindy Husmann and Jeanice Fleemen to help us along our journey. As we climbed higher and higher, we stopped at our sixth resting place, as Rodney Mace and Janet Kennedy couldn't take the cold. But Dale Soil joined us they to prove his strength and ability and Miss Test became our new leader. Moving right along, we again rested and switched leaders. Mr. Pieper took over and recruited Don Hannapel and Terry Engel to our troop. As we came to our eighth rest stop, we found we were doing pretty good. We didn't lose one of our troop. Unfortunately, we didn't gain any either. We did get a new guide. His name was Mr. Hansen. As we came to our ninth resting place, we gained four more courageous mountain climbers. They were Tom Foulk, Patty Ziemba, Virginia Vetick, and Tim Wemhoff, who came back after he got more rope. We also chose leaders among us: President Dale Soil, Vice-President Sandy Beck, Secretary Stephanie Zoucha, Treasurer Deb Douglas, and News Reporter Linda McNeal. We chose green and white for our colors, a white rose for our flower, and for our motto, we chose, Life is what you make it. Our sponsors for our continuing journey were Mr. Cyboron and fortune-telling Mrs. Geis. As we came closer and closer, we again stopped to change our leaders. Karen Pickrel became President, Cindy Husmann, Vice-President; and Diane Herman, Secretary-Treasurer. Our sponsors were Mr. Manstedt and Mr. Ippensen. At this stop our rope was getting worn, but we trudged on. At the eleventh rest, as we gained in height on the Educational Mount, we again had Mr. Cyboron for a sponsor. Mrs. Ippensen switched with her husband and took Miss Lowe along for company. Our leaders at the beginning were: President Diane Herman, Vice-President Sandy Beck, Secretary-Treasurer Deb Douglas, and News Reporter Virginia Vetick. Unfortunately, Diane resigned and Sandy took over the duties as President. We felt so fantastic having gone this far, we decided to throw a play. It was entitled, Get Witch Quick, and was one of the best ever put on. We also honored the Senior Climbers with the Junior-Senior Prom. Our theme was Cherish with the colors. Hot Pink, Hot Green, and White. We also got our class rings from Jostens at this stop, which boosted our ambition to go on to the final stop. We were sorry to lose Jeanice Fleeman at this stop, but there was just not enough oxygen for her. We also felt we should change our motto. It was changed to Knowledge is the Key to Peace, Peace is the Key to Life. Halfway up to the final stop, we lost Linda McNeal but gained Barb Palu. But she too gave up just as we were coming to the summit. Now, our final stretch before we reach the top. Our leaders this time were President Cindy Husmann, Vice-President Gary Starostka, Secretary-Treasurer Tom Foulk and News Reporter Dixie Van Pelt. As sponsors we had Miss Kluever and Mr. Barr. To proclaim our great feat we ordered our announcements from Jostens. This year, breaking with tradition, the Juniors honored us with Prom on Friday, April 6. The theme was The Sky is the Limit. After we had reached the top, we celebrated by going on a Sneak Trip. We went May 19 to the World of Fun in Kansas City, Missouri. V n
