H1 STQRY It was on the third day of September 1951 that 19 freshmen started that all important climb through high school. We selected Miss Matz as our class advisor and elected the following class officers: president, Delyle Schaibleg vice president, Darlene Mueller, secretary, Devaris Ammon, treasurer, Lavonne Baer. The first big event in our lives as freshmen came in the latter part of September when the Sophomores initiated us and we became full fledged freshmen. On February lb, we gave the sophomores a customary return party. It was during the course of the year that we lost four students, Jerry Nitschke, Florence Holstrom, Gordon Wegner, and Lorraine Bentz. Our Sophomore year opened the 2nd of September with 16 enrollments. We had three new class mates: Irene Mayer, Dayton Schroeder, and Marjorie Ritola, but Lawrence Summerfield and Jermaine Nitschke dropped out. In September we had the privilege of initiating the freshman and later had a Sophomore return party given to us. We elected the following class officersg president, Alton Giengerg vice president, Arlene Jerkeg secretary, DeVaris Ammon, treasurer, LaVonne Baer, and class advisor, Mr. Rogue. After a few weeks of school we lost two students: Darlene Mueller who moved to California and Marjorie Ritola, who went to Nebraska. School opened on the 7th of September with 13 juniors enrolling. We gained two new students, Ernest Summerfield and Willie Grosz, but we lost Dayton Schroeder, Rose Marie Schweitzer, and Gordon Gumke, who moved up one year.

The year 19785 I am on my way back to my home town, Gackle. Gackle is now the Capital of North Dakota and the largest prod- ucer of uranium in the world. It seems that during the year 1965 a student found uranium while playing on the school ground. Gackle is now credited with the graduation of that now-famous class of 1955. As you have probably already noticed I am driving the latest and flashiest car that has ever been on the market, the Summerlac. It was invented by that mechanical genius Ernest Su merfield. That is how it got its name of Summerlac. Arlene Jerks has made quite a name for herself in the engineering field. She has constructed a road from coast to coast in such a way that there hasn't been a single accident in the last ten years. Well, Arlene and Ernest always wanted to be engineers. I guess I'll have to turn on the radio and listen to my favorite program, 'My Friend Irma.' As you may already know LaVonne Baer is now playing the part of Irma. If I remember correctly the students in school did call her Irma. Look at the huge billboard out beside the road! Look at what it says. 'If you should ever come to Hawaii be sure to stay at the Ritzler, the largest and most modern hotel in the wor dg Mr. Eugene Kinsler, propr1etor.' Eugene always did want to go to Hawaii and it looks as though he decided to stay. I am now entering the town of Grossville. It is named after the richest man in the United States, Willard Gross. Through hard work and hard work only, did he reach his present financial status and now owns one-half of North Dakota. It looks as though his ambition was accomplished. Are my eyes deceiving me? Does that really say: Remboldt Liquor Store, the largest bar in the state? Yee it does. So Clyde decided what to do and I imagine he should be very happy. Here lives another graduate of 1955, Irene Mayer. She is now married and has 3 children. She bdcame world famous when she wrote that wonderful romantic ballad, 'Ho, Melvin.' I am now driving past the largest ranch in the middle west, the Kinzlers' Stockmen Ranch. The co-owners of the ranch are Marvin and Wallace Kinsler. It seems through cross-breeding and other scientific principles Wallace has developed a type of dairy cow that as an average cow gives twice as much milk. Marvin has developed a buf type of cow that has such short legs that it has 1: times as much body area as a normal cow. Oh! Oh! My radio is going on the blink again. Nope its just an interruption. I'll have to listen and hear what it says. We interrupt this program to give you the special announcement. Dateline Minneapolis the wor1d's record for the most points in one professional basketball game has been broken by Byron Koekiniemi star forward of the Minneapolis Lakers. He finished the game with a grand total of 7h points. This announ- cement is brought to you by DeLyle Schaible, sports editor of the New York Times. So DeLyle has finally settled down. He always did like to travel. In 1968 he completed his tour of the world on 82.59. He also was a 5 star general in the army and is noted for the 'Schaib' treaty which ended World War III. Well it just goes to show that! You can outdo any man alive But you can never top a senior of '55'. P R P H E x.: X
