61444 .l,'imf9 of 1955 One bright sunny day in September, l943, ten little boys and girls started to school. They were Charles Branson, Bill Granflaten, Ruth Hammer, Phyllis Mergen, Madonna Moran, LoVonne Nelson, Shirley Branson, Paul Richards, Ernest Straw, and Jack McLaughlin. LoVonne Nelson, Paul Richards, and Ernest Straw moved away during the year. Our teacher was Bethel Peterson. Seven of us entered the second grade. We had gained Peggy Bartling, Marlin Christensen, and Gerald Ordal . Then in March we lost Madonna Moran and Marlin Christensen, but Janelle Bidwell, Mickey Walker, and Delilah Christensen joined us. Bethel Peterson was our teacher. As we were starting to understand what knowledge and schooling really meant, we went into the third grade. We had ten to start out with. In April we gained Larry Lloyd and lost Janelle Bidwell. Betty Winters was our teacher for this year. In the fall when we started our fourth grade we had Bill Granflaten, Ruth Hammer, Phyllis Mergen, Peggy Bartling, Mickey Walker, Charles Branson, Delilah Christensen, Shirley Branson, Gerald Ordal, Larry Lloyd, and Jack McLaughlin. Then we gained Arlene Olson, which made a total of twelve . Our teacher was Betty Winters. We gained Edward and Harry Cooperrider and Gary Wiese the fifth year of school but lost Peggy Bartling, Larry Lloyd, Delilah Christensen, and Shirley Branson which made the total ten. Our teacher for that year was Mildred Severson. The teacher for the sixth grade was Mildred Severson. We lost Charles Branson and Edward and Harry Cooperrider. This left Bill Granflaten, Ruth Hammer, Jack McLaughlin, Phyllis Mergen, Arlene Olson, Gerald Ordal, Mickey Walker and Gary Wiese. We thought we were pretty bright, now that we were in the seventh grade. The register read the same as the sixth grade and our teacher for this year was Esther Backhaus. Larry Irvine and Dale Ring joined us in the eighth grade, but in February Dale moved to Lane, South Dakota. This left us with a total of nine for our graduating year. Mrs. L. W. Brandes was our teacher. As we entered high school Arlene Olson, Ruth Hammer, Phyllis Mergen, Ruby Nelson, Mickey Walker, Bill Granflaten, Dexter Harding, Gerald Ordal, Jim Sheppard, Jack McLaughlin, Gary Wiese, Larry Irvine, and Eldon Thurow made up the freshman class. We lost Larry Irvine, and Madonna Moran transferred from Orland in October of this year. We started our sophomore year with thirteen students, then in March Larry Hybertson joined us which gave us a total of fourteen. ln our junior year we presented the play Room Trouble , which was very successful. We had a Hawaiian theme for our Junior-Senior Banquet which was also a success. The year i954 found fourteen seniors who were Arlene Olson, Gary Wiese, Phyllis Mergen, Ruth Hammer, Ruby Nelson, Madonna Moran, Eldon Thurow, Gerald Ordal, Dexter Harding, Bill Granflaten, Jim Sheppard, Jack McLaughlin, Larry Hybertson and Mickey Walker. We are very thankful for the twelve wonderful years of education we have had and the great inspirations it has given us. With this broad sense of knowledge we go into the world., much brighter and wiser than anyone ever to have graduated from Franklin High. Madonna Moran Ruby Nelson ii
