f I Q 4. Class l-lislory There were nineteen already studious students who came to E. H. S. in September in 1935. Naturally, we were all very anxious to begin our life of learning.

Miss Lauer started us on our learning career. In our second year, Reuben Hinderaker, Donald Frccse and Donald So- gard left, and Pauline NVeaver, Kathryn Sogard, Donald lsvik and Dick Krogstie became new members of our class. Our teacher was now Mil- dred Voga. By the third year we all began to like our teachers and sch-ool. Donald Isvik, Richard Staples, Kenneth Brekke and Betty Berg left us, and Ho- mer Peterson and Don Obe came in. The fourth year we liked even better, although Pauline Weaver, Homer Peterson and Gene Swenson left. We Ulearnedl' this year from Miss Wick. The fifth year we felt grown upl' going to the second floor of the school house. But we soon got tired of climbing the stairs. Miss Hanson was our teacher. Theola McGonigle joined us and Doyle Nelson left. In the sixth year we felt pretty big. Miss Hanson was again our teacher. This year Dorothy Johnson and Helen Kantak came in. In seventh grade we enjoyed our classes QD.

CICISS Song iTune of Five Minutes More J We are leaving you now, As we take our last bow, Though we'd love to remain another year. But the juniors so dear, Will take over next year, And we're sure that we need never fear. U All twelve years we dreamed about our graduation, Now for the problems we must face in our great nation. Though the stairs be many a flight, We will strive to the light, And we hope we will reach our own goal. 19 .Qu I Q 1 Qi!

Class History Louise Chesling and Bob Hoverstein left in eighth grade, and Hazel Koop joined us. This was the year when the long awaited eighth grade gradu- ation day came. When entering high school some of us were sorry, because of initia- tion. Anyway, we all survived--but barely! This year we had the big- gest class in high school, with twenty members. New kids were Max Appelgate, Wallace Caruth, Theola McGonigle, Bill Gabrielson, Dorothy Gruefe, Darlene Peterson, Leslie Peterson and Bill Pomeroy. This year we lost Dick Krogstie, Dick Benson, Frances Olson, Donald Holt and Gene Ballantine. B In our sophomore year, Dorothy Gruefe and Theola moved, and Bill Schneider came to town. The next year, as juniors, we had our play and the banquet to look for- ward to to encourage us. Virgil, Leslie, and Bill Gabrielson moved away, and Gene Ballantine came back. The name of our play, directed by Miss lluhn, Everybody's Crazy --which proved everyone really Was,-and the theme of our banquet was the Gay Nineties. Everyone seemed to en- joy themselves-all during the evening and morning. At the end of our senior year we have sixteen members. They are Max Appelgate, Gene Ballantine, Stanley Valde, Norma Thompson, Wallace Caruth, Kathryn Sogard, Art Espeland, Bill Pomeroy, Bonnie Johnson, Darlene Peterson, Dorothy Johnson, Kenneth Magnuson, Darrell Kallem, Dale Magnuson, Helen Kantak, and Hazel K-oop. We had our pictures taken, skip day, the senior play, and the banquet given to us by the cap- able juniors. Then commencement came and we left our position as seniors for the juniors to fill next year. 21
