o emor History In the class of fifteen pupils whom graduates from F.H.S. this spring, two of them have gone through all their years of school together. They are Barbara Lott and Don West. Miss Weber started the ball rolling by teaching us in our Kindergarten year. As she soon found out we were much more capable of doing things other than playing in sand piles, she promoted us to the first grade. To greet us at the door in the first grade room we found Miss Holquist who ushered us to our seats and shoved a book in front of our faces and tried to teach us how to read. It didn't take us very long until we had read Dick and Jane” so into the second grade we went. Jo Ann and Marion Pollock joined us in our second year after going to country school. Miss Stewart taught us in our second grade year, and then Miss Hurst had the honor of teaching our third grade year. Our class grew much larger in our fourth year, as we had four additional pupils. These were Jerry Heinz from Sutton, and Dale Schneider, Hugh Dado, ana Burton Storm, all of whom came in from country schools. Dale and Hugh went back to country school at the end of the year. Wayne Cantrell and Richard McMahon joined us in our fifth year. During our fourth and fifth years we had one of our long to be remembered teachers. Miss Jackson. While we were in our fifth year we had several different teachers due to the illness of Miss Jackson. Mrs. Ekwall had the privilege of teaching this brilliant class through our sixth year. Marvin Nichols came to join us, from country school and Corky Moyle moved in from North Platte. Our seventh grade proved to be a very successful year, especially for the basketball team. Along with the eighth grade we traveled through a flood to Ong and won the Southern Nine grade school tournament in one day. Mr. Montgomery was our teacher and coach. In this stage of our schooling Joyce Busselle from Lincoln joined us; and Carol Homer, who started to school with us, left to spend a year in California. With the addition of Charlene Keil from country school and Carol Hynie from Bridgport, we slid through our eighth grade exams with the help of Miss Madsen. As we went into our green Freshman year we picked up Dolma Lefler, Richard Perkins Dick Smith, Dale Schneider, and Hugh Dado from country school. Carol Hynie left to go to Lincoln, and Corky Moyle left at the end of the year to go to Grafton. Mr. Montgomery was our sponsor. Bob Eich came in our Sophomore year and left at the end of that year. We also lost Richard McMahon who moved to York and Burton Storm who is now in the service. Miss Allen was our sponsor. Our Junior year treasures many memories to be carried on through our lives. This includes our play, high school parties, class rings, and last but not least our Junior and Senior banquet. At the end of our Junior year Carol Homer join- ed the courts of Holy Matrimony and Delmar Little was called to service. He is now overseas. Mr. Wochner was our sponsor. There are many memories brought to us in our Senior year, such as getting class pictures, sneak day, senior play, putting out the annual, baccalaureate and commencement. We graduated with fifteen members in the class and Mr. Wochner and Mr. Brown as sponsors.
