Text from Pages 1 - 60 of the 1960 volume:

The Viking Yearbook Presented by the Senior Class and Viking Staff of Climax High School Climax, Minnesota To Mr. Arthur Vraa, football coach and teacher, we the seniors of 1961 dedicate our Viking. We express our appreciation for the determination and desire to do anything in his power to make our school more football minded and to get the sport' started seven years ago. His many hours of time and effort have now produced results. Football now is an established part of our extracurricular activi ties. Many young men now look back at the education they received the competitive sport. Thank you Mr. Vraa for your dedication of time and effort. 2 Viking Staff Left to Right: 1st ROW: Duane Evenson, Ronald Peterson, Marilyn Larson, David Sondreal, Phyllis Arndt, Kent Peterson. 2nd ROW: George Nornes, Rodney Spokely, Leland Olsen, Linda Davidson, Karen Larson Editor . . . . .

One of our first big events was our freshman initiation During our sophomore year we attempted to be as torturing to the new green freshmen as we had endured the year before. Q Our junior year was highlighted by the annual magazine drive which proved very successful and the junior play The Brainstorm, turned out to be one of the largest events of the year. The setting for the Jr.-Sr. Banquet, Southern Plantation, was an achievement which made us indeed proud. Our senior year began with the smash hit, The Little Dog Laughed. All of our twenty-six class members have been actively participating in many extra-curricular activities. Thirteen members of our class participated in the band, sixteen members in the chorus, and seven members in declamation. In F.F.A. we had four State Farmers, one District Star Farmer, three Regional officers and numerous awards for judging teams. We had three lettermen in basketball, seven lettermen in football and two graduating members attained membership on the 1961 al1 conference team. During our graduating year Climax had its best football team in the history of the school. The year 1961, be- came a record breaking year for basketball. Climax defeated East Grand Forks and Crookston to attain second place in the district. The preceding pages will give a history of the magnificent twenty-six graduating members.

Thanks also for your patience and understanding cooks! MARCUS AND GRACE AAS celebrated their 25th wedding anniversary this summer. V Fourteen of the 25 have been spent with our school. Marciis has been chief engineer and maintenance director, as well as a helping dad to many of us during these years of faithful service. Grace has been keeping us well fed and happy dur- ing these same years. We hope we'll be with you on your 50th year of happy wedded life. Two of our cooks, Mrs. Gilbertson and Mrs. Monson, together with their helpers keep the line going. -w-x.,,,,,-Q Our bus drivers always got us to school, even though the going was tough at times. Thanks for many plea- sant trips. Left to Right: Mrs. Orville Vang, Mrs. Roger Son- drel, Howard Hanson, Glen Dale, and Chester Maurit- son. Missing--Orin Monson. ,f sw A -X 1 .x ,, .
