U.N.D. 5 X Class History lf we were to turn back the pages of time to a beautiful September morning in 1939, we would see ahappy little group gladiully going their way, with merry hearts and happy minds, but with little knowledge ci their destined fate for the next twelve years. We are, of course, speaking of the great Class of 1951. A date that then seemed to be of an unending duration. But now we have finally come to the end of our journey through grade and high school. Eight of the group that started in the first grade and are now of the graduating class are: Leslie Engelbrektson, Kathryn Ferguson, Jerry Jorde, Donna Nelson, Clarence Peterson, Jo Rudnick, Pat Rutherford, and Connie Simmons. No one en- tered our class until the third grade, and it then brought Tommy Dryden and Laurence La Haise into our class. The fourth grade added Bruce Peterson, Kenney Schu- macher, Angie Raney, Doris Schumacher, and Jim Stewart. The third and fourth grades are probably the most memorable to this little group. ln the fifth grade, Clair Maurstad increased our class. The sixth grade brought Davidean Roller and Dolores Crawford. The seventh grade left the class as the previous year, but in the eighth grade Cecilia Marciniak, Lorne Van Camp, and Beverly Mathison, joined us. The seventh and eighth grades brought our class up in the assembly with the high school. We were then getting a broader view of the years ahead of us. When we became Freshmen, Adrienne Grzadzieleski, Bob Morrison, Jean Larson, Jean Rath, Dolores Thompson, joined our class, with Ronnie Anderson leaving us. In our Sophornore year no one joined our class but we lost Davidean Roller, Dolores Thomp- son, Dolores Boulduc, Lawrence La Haise, Tommy Dryden, Bobby Morrison, and Lorne Van Camp. This made quite a hole in our enrollment, but the gap was filled with many activities, in which our class began to take a major part. Our Junior year was begun with 20 in our class, Cal Lang was the only new student added, com- ing during the first semester from- Pembina. We had rnany more interests now, but the most important were our class play and prom. Our Senior year leaves us with 18 pupils, with Dolores Crawford moving to California, and Kenney Schumacher attending school at Crookston. Those being left now are: Leslie Engelbrektson, Kathryn Ferguson, Adrienne Grzadzieleski, Jerry Jorde, Cal Lang, Jean Larson, Cecilia Marciniak, Beverly Mathison, Clair Maurstad, Donna Nelson, Clarence Peterson, Angie Raney, Jean Rath, Jo Rudnick, Pat Rutherford, Doris Schumacher, Connie Simmons, and Jim Stewart. We are now taking our last step of high school, after which many will go on to college, and 'many will get jobs, but all will be fac ing a challenging world. We are sure we have been well prepared in good old D. H. S. to meet the new life before us. 7 LESLIE ENGE LBREKTSON JERRY JORDE KATHRYN FERGUSON CAL LANG ADRIENNE GRZA DZ.

I, Kathryn Ferguson, will my smile to Ruth Flaten. I, Leslie Engelbrektson, will my sarcastic ways to Paul Ness. I, Jerry Jorde, will my red hair to Geraldine, so she won't have to spend so much on rinse, I, Cal Lang will my ability to go steady to Dorothy Gehrs. I, J can Larson, will my piano playing technique to Clarice Grzadzie- leskl. I, Beverly Mathison, will my studious ability to Gerald Harlow. I, Clair Maurstad, will my fun loving ways to Iona Wilmer. I, Donna Nelson, will my quiet ways to Colyene Stewart. I, Clarence Peterson, will my stubbornness to Mary Ellen John- son. I, Jean Rath, will my letter writing to Ellen Steinbach. I, Jo Rudnick, will my ability to stay home nights to Vivian Maur- stad. I, Pat Rutherford, will my rabbit choking ability to Gloria Evens on. I, Doris Schumacher, will my ability to go with a Jensen to George Brodeur. I, Connie Simmons, will my untimely talking habits to Carol I-Ioselton. I, Angie Raney, will all my old glasses to Irene Schumacher, I, Jim Stewart, will my influence with the Senior girls to Jacob Larson. To the teachers d D. H. S. we leave some of our fun loving ways and easy nature, that they may go on teaching the students of America to become as strong and educated individuals as this Class of '5l. To the J unlor Class we leave our executive ability to handle all lm- portant affairs that come up during their last year of high school. To the Sophomores we leave our old test papers and erase:-less pencils that they may emerge as intelligent as we did. And lastly, we leave to the Freshmen our good rubber bands, spit balls and chewing gum Qwherever they may find lt, so that they may get as much enjoyment as well as learning out of old D. H. S, as we did. 12 Prophecy of '51 It seems that today some very irnportant people are- coming in on the train. As I sit here soaking up sunshine I'm thinking d that great day only twenty years ago - graduation, what an eventff On June l, 1951, six boys and twelve girls were grad- uated from the local high school. It is said that the girls are to have a tea today, and the big class reunion is tomorrow. From the things Ihave heard, I guess the members off that group have had quite a number of interesting experiences. There was a war on when they graduated that spring and all of the boys in turn was called to the colors. Leslie Engelbrektson was drafted into the foot sloggin' infantry and he received a Purple Heart before he even left the training camp. It seems one day at rifle drill he dropped his rifle and it shot him through the lower lip--didn't bother him much though for they say he still talks just as much. Kathryn Ferguson won't have far to come to the affair because she settled right down in Drayton. She looks good, too, for having kept house and raising a family of four children. I understand her oldest, a boy, is 17 years old and a Senior in high school. Oh, yes, his name is Ray Jr. ' Adrienne Grzadzieleski looks very much the same, except that she is a little thinner. I don't know if she ever became a nurse but Ihear she is married now and didn't have to change her name much. Jerry Jorde was the first of the boys to enlist. He always planned to go into the Navy anyway, and I guess he even got a commendation. It happened while he was on an aircraft carrier. One day he walked too close to the edge d the deck and fell overboard, When he was floundering around in the water he found another man who had fallen overboard so he ,towed him into a life line that was thrown to them. When they got him out they said he had gone overboard to save the other fellow, and I hear they never found out the facts of the case. Cal Lang enlisted in the Army and while serving as a guard on a road block he went to sleep. When he awoke he found that his outfit had pulled out and left him. When he crawled out of his foxhole he ran into a bunch of infiltrators and so sur- prised them that they threw up their hands and he took them prisoners. He saved his entire company and that was the first time his sleeping paid off. I can't tell you what Cecilia Marciniak has done. She often said she wanted to get married and have a small family ----- twelve boys and one girl. Then, too, she said something about being a nurse, so I guess we will have to wait to really get it straight. They tell me that Jean Larson is as intelligent as ever. She's one d those schnnl- teachers and has travelled to many countries ----- Sweden, France, Spain and else- where. She has also written a few books, won a few prizes, and gotten a new pair d glasses, you know, the kind on a chain. There is one thing about Beverly Mathison which is the same as when they were in high school---her height, but that didn't stop her from being an airline stewardess. She always wanted to be one, and finally got in with some minor outfit--it's called the P. U. Air Lines. Clair Maurstad went into the Marines and we could tell when he got to the front because the news started to get better right away. They nicknamed him The-One- Man-Army because he would go into the hills and come back with forty or fifty prisoners. I hear he is still so tough he shaves with the bolt clippers and blow torch, 13 Prophecy of '51 qc ontinuedj Donna Nelson was always the problem girl of the class because they thought she was too shy. Now, I understand, she has started a Loafers Club and has made her living off the members' dues. Oh, well, everyone has to make aliving some way. Clarence Peterson wanted to join the Air Corps, and he got in too, but as a radioman and not a pilot. He was always called Sparks in the service. Twelve years ago he got married, and now he has a lot of little sparks',', Now for Angie Raney. I remember her singing in her Senior year at the Uni- versity of North Dakota. She had an inspiration to go into business, but Ididn't know exactly what kind. I hear she has a little trade shop with! the slogan Any- thing Goes At Angie's . It's one of those places where you can bring in Grandma and walk out with someone else, or take in an old stove pipe and come out with some worthwhile object. She is probably as rich as Arthur Godfrey by now. I hear Jean Rath becaxne a nurse as she had planned but not just a plain nurse but a Navy nurse. They say she married a sailor with a narne that sounds like hers but is spelled Gene . They say she is now caring for two little folks ,in a private nursery. Jo Rudnick went into social service work for the government for a few years. She didnit make it through four years of college ----- that was probably why every- one laughed so when she took the final step. She had always said she would have a social service career but her career was that of housekeeping and family raising. Pa Rutherford has really aged, I have heard. She has gray hair and all, but she s had a bad ailment ----- heart trouble and nerves. She always worried so about Minnesota, and that is such a big place to worry about too--it would make anybody sick. She finally got into Technicians School in Minneapolis but that was too close to St. Cloud, I guess, so in 1945 she ended up in Hallock. That is all I have heard about her but I can imagine the rest ---- -4 or 5 little Cedar s. I imagine Doris Schumacher has had plenty of work to do because living on a farm is no easy task. Of course, when they graduated, her classmates knew her future ----- wife, mother, and worker in Minnesota. Jensen is her last name. I hear Connie Simmons became a nurse--or maybe it was a technician. Well, whatever it was, I'll bet she has had a lot of enjoyment out of sticking people with needles and then cheering them up. Jirnrny Stewart joined the Navy in the sumrner d 1951, and after his discharge bought a little farm over in the Grafton vicinity. On this farm there is a little house with green shutters ----- very comfortable, I have been told. There never were any reports about his great deeds in the service, and it's a funny thing, too, for Ihave been told that he was President twice---when he was a Sophomore and a Senior. I hear the boys of the class are going to have some sort of a meeting tonight -----something kind of like the tea the girls have been planning so I suppose it would be wise to get home pretty early this PM for I reckon it will be pretty gay. Well, I've been sittin' here daydreaming for so long that the sun has gone down be- hind a cloud, so I guess I had better get home for I sure want to get out early to- morrow morning so Iwon't miss seeing the 1951 graduating class when they go to their class reunion. x14 Grade 11 Grade 10 Grade 11 Seated fl. to r.l: Dorothy Gehrs, Marlene Mosolf, Darlene Olson, Iona Wilmer, Hazel Evanson, Mary Ellen Johnson, Donna Larson, Marian Bohm.

Miss Shaw has served as adviser for the group. The members took responsibilities concerning the library. The duties of the librarians are such things as checking books in and out, placing them on the shelves, collecting fines for overdue books, taking care of the reference books and the rnag- azine rack, and putting up bulletin board dis- plays. Music Notes Music happenings under the directionof Mr. Oen during the 1950-1951 school year have been quite varied. At the beginning of the basketball season the band began playing at the home garnes. Those of us who played in the Pep Band will rernernber the narrow squeaks by which we got through some of the tougher marches. At Christmas time, after digging out musty band uniforms and cleaning them up, the band performed at the Commercial Club's annual Christmas Party. The band was asked to play for the Girls' Bas- ketball Tournament at Neche and did a splendid job with two skits and rnany marches. The Mixed Octet provided music at the De- cember ,meeting of the local P. T, A. The Mixed Chorus had several new num- bers for presentation at the Spring Concert as well as at the music festivals. The Girls' Chorus provided music for the Luther League in January, and also sang in the music festivals and at the Spring Concert. 32 Left to Right, James Stewart, Calvin Lang, Jacob Larson, Marvin Collins, Doris Schumacher, Iona Wilmer, Gertrude Ann Dryden, and Marian Bohm, Seated fl, to r.Jg Bonnie Jorde, Hazel Evanson, Carol Hoselton, Betty Bryan, Standing ll. to rj: Jean Rath, Connie Simmons, Angie Raney, Coleyne Stewart, Gertrude Dryden, Dennis Brodeur, Claris Grzadzieleski, and Ellen Steinbach. 33 Drayton School Band Front Row fl. to rJg Jo Rudnick, Patty Ruther- ford, Angie Raney, Dorothy Gehrs, Clarice Helm, Paul Ness.
