Miss Longworth, kinder- garten teacher, was met by some 140 bright and shining faces. Jim Kalstad, Neil Sands, and Rollie Davis spent many of their kindergarten days at a separate table in the corner. In the lower grades we spent our time learning the three r'sg reading, 'riting, and 'rithmetic. ln second grade the children from the Ranier School joined us. During our sojourn in Miss La Brie's third grade most of us acquired the nasty habit of biting our finger nails. To prevent this we had them painted with an evil tasting red liquid. In this same year Neil Sands distinguished himself as a real Casanova by kissing all the girls during recess periods. We will always remember Miss Jaskuloski's ta1k- ing charts in fourth grade. There were a good many unsatisfactory marks in conduct that year. The most remembered event in our sixth grade year was the day we came back fromlunch and found a live garter snake crawling around the room. It was a fugitive from the classroom next door. Junior high was a maze ofbooks, locker combina- tions, and classes. We shall never forget the day Miss Dempsey, our seventh grade math teacher, fell back- wards off her chair. We were all so startled we didn't knowwhether to laugh or to cry. We were much re- lieved when Miss Dempsey stood up smiling. At last, we reached the ninth grade and we were the mighty freshmen. The St. Thomas and Ray stu- dents joined us that year. We began going to teen- age dances and we were allowed to take part in the homecoming festivities. Bronko Nagurski and Kath- leen Dudley were Frosh king and queen. ln the spring we published our annual Freshman Flapdoodle which was a huge success. The Freshman party was held in April. Many of the boys had their father'scars for the first time and some of ushad our first datesthat night. Bud Julien and Kay Robinson reigned as king and queen over that event. Our sophomore year began in anew dark school that we all thought we were going to hate. Within a month we were in the midst of things and thought that Falls High was the best school ever. Our class was well represented in all school activi- ties. especially in sports. In October the sophomore Ei l 1 class contributed to the Falls High homecoming by decoratinga floatand the gym in preparation for the big parade and dance. Pam Morse and Jim Glowack, our sophomore attendants, rode on our float. In the spring we had our never-to-be -forgotten Sophomore party. Our junior year was really our big year as far as being well occupied. We had charge of the home- coming bonfire that year. Karen Moxness and Joe Crotty acted as the junior attendants to the home- coming king and queen. Our teams distinguished themselves by becoming conference champs in foot- ball, basketball, and hockey. In November we presented our junior class play, The Baby-Sitter. Paul Stormo and Diane Lee play- ed the leads. The profits were sufficient to pay for the prom, Hawaiian Holiday, which took place in May. Betty Edmundson and her helpers spent many weary hours constructing Jezebe1, our Hawaiian hula dancer. In the spring, for the first time in the history of Falls High, came high school baseball. The team made a good showing considering that it was its first year. We closed our junior year with a picnic at Pither's Point. In our last year our football team copped top honors in the conference and in the state. The Broncos were undefeated in eight games. Such names as Crotty, Nagurski, Domish,'Glowack, Porter, and I-lartje will go down in the athletic annals of Falls High. Mike Porter and Pam Morse reigned as king and queen over the football homecoming celebration. Basketball and hockey were climaxed by homecoming dances at Falls High. The year passed all -too-quickly after we receiv- ed our class rings and began to exchange swaps. Big events of our senior year were the class play, the senior party, the annual picnic, the games, and finally class day. As we listened to Dean Schweickhard give our commencement address, we realized that our school- years have been happy ones. In the years to come we will treasure the friendships and the memories of those happy days.

The 1955 Bronco basketball season opened early in N ove mbe r whe n the Falls defeated the un- predictable Embarrass team by a score of61 to 57. The first conference game against Greenway easily ended in a 67 to 46 victory for the Falls. The Broncos reached the half way mark with wins in nine of its first ten games. The one loss was to its long-standing rival- Eveleth. In this game the Falls began slowly and didn't rebound or work the ball as in previous games. Other On your mark, get set, gol victories were triumphs over Floodwood, Roseau, Gil- bert, Patrick Henry of Minneapolis, Mountain Iron, Baudette, Proctor,Cook, and I-libbing. ln the Hibbing game the Falls boys were in good trim and showed their best team work. As the Broncos gained recognition as a contender for district honors they showed a well-apportioned combination of rebounding strength, speed, shooting, and ball handling. Captain Joe Crotty, Doyle Hartje, Elmer Braaten, and Larry Domish, the senior veterans, and Phillip Johnson and Jim Crotty, juniors, were largely responsible for leading the team to its victories. The boys did not have the advantage of height, but showed plenty of scrap and spirit. Senior Elmer Braaten was high scorer for the Falls during the firsthalfof the season with a record of 202 points in the first twelve games. Phillip Johnson, a junior, was second with 150 points for the same period. The Falls had an average of 63.3 points for the same period as against their opponents 45.9 points. The reserves also conducted themselves very ably, indicating that the fans may look for more victorious seasons in the future. 1. 1 E D 'Uv 5 - t I U Q: Q JJ 1 .- 48 .-L...-,,--. ....i. Mm, gr- -,..

Hockey in Falls High School is now going into its seventh year as a major high school sport. This year the Broncos have been coached by Larry Ross. The team began practice late in No- vember and played its first game in Williams Arena at the University of Minnesota against St. Paul Murray. This game was a preliminary contest to the University of Minnesota-St, Boniface game. The Falls came out on top by a score of 4 to 1. The Broncos defeated St. Paul Harding 4 to 3 and Virginia 11 to 1 in the next two contests. The next game was a defeat for the Falls at the hands of a strong aggressive Warroad team, This game was a comparison for the Broncos as Warroad ranked with Roseau and St. Paul Johnson as a state tournament favorite. Next the Broncos won over Duluth East High School by a score of 3 to 1, but went down on the short end of a 7 to 5 count to the Roseau Rams a few days later. The team then defeated Hibbing 6 to 2 and Boudette 8 to 2 before again going down to the strong Warroad Club, Duringlanuary and February the Broncos were victorious in games played against Ely,Baudette, Williams, Virginia, Coleraine, and Hibbing losing only to Roseau and Eveleth, In the Home- coming game played on February 12 the Falls Pucksters defeated Eveleth by a 12 to 4 score to become the first place team in District 27.
