What’s Different This Year? Drivers Sd During Dag! The favored food among the sophomore class was pizza with eighteen votes, while steak came in second with five. Some ex- ceptions were Ann Van Aernam who liked spaghetti while Stacy Hansen liked fish and potatoes. There were many favorite movies among this class. “Country was liked by Jennifer Em- ery, ... because I liked the actors and actresses and the way it related to our com- munity.” Brad Schwenneker liked Up the Creek because, “It was funny.” The favorite teacher was Mr. Sleister who teaches algebra, which was also the favorite class. Kylee Muzney liked algebra, ... be- cause I understand what I'm doing and be- cause I like the mathematical work.” James Scott added, You can have a lot of fun in this class and still learn a lot.” One advantage of being at school in Exira was given by Stacy Thompson. “I like a small school because you know everyone and the school has a lot of good teachers.” Lori Bargo commented, The advantages for me are to see how differently this school operates from the others I've gone to.” Jody Nielsen said that one disadvantage of going to school in Exira was that, “You don’t have as many interesting classes to take such as Spanish. This year was different for the sophomores because of the eight period day and because of class rings. They are also taking dri- vers ed during the school year and in the process of getting licenses and permits. In five years most of the class saw themselves going to col- lege. Lois Behrens thought she would be getting her medi- cal degree. Jolene Kirchoff’s reply was, ... working in an office as a secretary or ac- countant.” Matthew Slerster. pres Teresa Wolf, stud council Mary Hansen Daren L aunt sen Matt Petersen Ann Van Aernam Melanie Kelly, v. pres Lori Bargo Stacy Hansen Amy Luft Dawn Sams Jon Van Aernam Chad Jorgensen. sec Jennifer Emery Tim Huegench Kylee Muzney Debra Schrampler Mike Venteicher Lois Behrens, treas Joieah Flathers Steve Jacobsen Jody Nielsen Brad Schwenneker Tracy Venteicher Aaron Paulsen, stud, council Troy Griffin Jolene Kirchoff Jennifer Petersen James Scott Clarence Wilson 14
