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
